It's because down is the most powerful direction because it's amplified by gravity.

It's also where your ***** usually points.

i mentioned dair in the first post

along with the rest of her moveset haha.

it turns out most stuff can be ASDI'd down or CC'ed if u r slow, leaving grab as the **** button
ahh sorry yea I just missed it, weird cause I was specifically looking for it lol,

I play against a pretty crouch cancel heavy falco sometimes. so yea I kinda know what your talking about, pretty gay and stuff.

does cc and asdi down work only at low percents though, can sheik start doing cool stuff at like mid percent or what?

at some percent dair will knock them over if they asdi and u can just dsmash immediately, or dtilt and keep comboing.

although ive had people asdi tech it too.

in that case, just try to react

What if they are C Faclon and your jab just misses them even tho it looks like it hits them?????? Ive had this happen at least 50% of the time when jab resetting. Is there some weird hitbox there? am i just too slow? idk. AND sometimes ill hit A to jab and then jump cancel grab or just hit Z and sometimes it jabs again then i gittttt kiilllleeed. whats the deal?

You sound like you may be doing it a little too slow. Try to react a bit faster to him falling on the ground. Try to get used to jabbing him as he is bouncing on the floor. I've never heard of it missing and I've done it quite a few times on falcons so I don't think its a hitbox issue.

And about jabbing again by accident, pressing Z too early from a jab forces you to jab again. Try to take that slower and if you need to just walk up to falcon before you grab him. That way you're ensured the grab.

You know this.....

Best options:

1. Grab (can be avoided with buffer rolls)
2. Dair
3. Usmash
4. Empty aerial, regrab

This is truth.
Important thing to remember is to switch things up. I personally prefer the first two.

why wouldn't you let them shield?

make them see their escape and then shatter their hopes and dreams all over the screen.
