Tl;Dw Sheik can up air Donkey Kong during his 4 frames of vulnerability during Cyclone kong, leading to a second up air to kill him. The reason this works is due to correct timing, & being hit by a 90° windbox that raises Sheik during her first up air, leading to the second one.

This is amazing. You're on fire making some incredible custom-related discoveries these days lol.

Curious as to if you get caught up in it at the start, you can just lay in on tapping the C-stick up, as opposed to trying to convert on a 4 frame window?

It's possible, but from looking at the frame data I couldn't tell when the second hit of Sheik's up air comes out (First hit on frame 4, 2nd and 3rd somewhere between that and frame 15). If you throw out the move too early, it can also clash with the wind hitboxes and delay your move making the timing even more strict. You might also time it incorrectly and just hit the armor x_x

Wish I had known this yesterday when I lost a super close match to a KC kill near the top...

When is this 4 frame window? I'm confused

The 4 frames right before the second punch comes out.
