Rising up-air

A pretty standard peach combo I often see pro peaches do on fast fallers is a rising full hop up air into a floating up air at the top of the jump. The only way I've been able to execute this combo in 20xx is by tap jumping then hitting a or c-stick up. Using X to jump doesn't seem to work because trying to get to the C-stick fast enough causes me to short hop and trying to hit a requires me to also push up on the control stick, often making me use my double jump. Tap jumping works but makes it makes chasing DI a lot harder. How do you guys do it? Also, do you know the set ups and percentages at which it works? I only know of sweet spotted Dash attack on Fox at ~50%. Thanks!

Try switching to claw style where your second finger is on Y and thumb uses the C stick as normal. I switch to claw whenever i'm going for Uair combos or when I up throw a fast faller onto a platform and react to a roll or tech. It feels much easier to react to DI this way.
