Alternative way to double jump

Most of you probably already know about this so Id thought to just throw it out there.
Lucas' double jump makes him flip in midair but this can be cancelled while getting the same amount of height and distance by using zair at the same exact time you do double jump. this will result in him jumping up but not flipping and lucas' snake coming out for a second and a half leaving him vulnerable so its not good to approach with but maybe it could be a funky way to retreat, altering the trajectory his jump takes making it harder to predict.

well no but maybe it can be used as a mindgame or something if used occasionally.

i use the jump and air dodge combo to get behind oponents rushing at me. it cancels the flip and doesnt leave u vulnerable

I use Nairs on my double jumps all the time when the opponent is already dead to get around just because I hate how the flipping animation looks. In battle it isn't that big of a deal and can actually help when you're juggling with Uair because Lucas moves so oddly.

Just ask!
Wouldn`t performing a move, let it be _:air or dodging, not be so practical when you`d like to perform a different move during that time frame?

Yes, I don't really see enough of a point to this to actually be worth using, unfortunately.
