I see Diddys like m2k and Zero throwing out forward airs like It's no problem while I feel like every time I do one I plop on the ground and get punished for it. Is there a formula for throwing out F-airs quickly? Thanks for any help :)

You have to do the forward air as soon as you short hop so that you land during the autocancel window. If you do it wrong, Diddy has a unique landing animation where he lands with his legs stretched out and suffers lag. This means you did the forward air too late.

Thanks for confirming this. I figured this was the case in that I can somewhat get off the lagless landing offline while on for glory it's pretty hard for me to not plop on the ground. Will have to practice it then :)

If you fair early enough, you can fastfall it at the apex of your jump with no lag.

I'm having trouble doing the f air quickly enough.

Any tips for executing this on the GC controller?
