I see on this Roy forum everywhere that nair is pretty much his best aerial. When approaching and spacing with Roy's nair, is it better to SHFF, or just SHNair

SHFF, but it could depend on the situation

Thanks for the reply, would you like to elaborate on why the regular SHNair wod be better to use than SHFFNair?
I'm not sure actually, but I still find myself using it sometimes for whatever reason lol. it's weird.

fastfalling it is probably always the better option though. you'llg et landing lag regardless whether you fast fall it or not; fast falling will make it quicker to recover from.

And while you FF the nair you can condition your opponent into that. So then you can mix it up by going into a tomahawk or shFF then when you reach the ground jab, it can really throw your opponent off. I see sethlon doing it a lot.

Besides just SHFF nair > jab, I'm pretty sure with the right timing you can also SHFF > nair > grab on a shield too, which would be useful to avoid punishes.

I use A-stick to nair. I'm super consistent. I now never compromise roys amazing aerial mobility to nair. I'd suggest this.

What is "A-Stick"? is it setting the c stick to regular attacking? and if that's the case, how can you do a neutral air with it?

p sure he meant A + control stick. but you can use nair on c stick if you input it diagonally instead of up/down/left/right, it's not practical tho cuz its kinda annoying to get right.

very since I use GC controller and it has notches (I use :GCCDL:). I have tap jump off, A+B smash on, jump on a trigger, and A-stick.

how does short hopping with a trigger work? I thought it wouldn't be as easy as it would be with x or y. the rest all makes sense though. Thank you for your feed back btw, I really appreciate it =)

I personally use :GCZ:. I put my finger on the edge and slip off of it immediately after pressing it to shorthop. If you tap jump off it's kinda a must to have a Jump on a shoulder button. If you are dextrous enough just use whatever set up you'd like
