Best way to Fast Fall Fair?

I have been playing around with fast fall aerials for a while now and I'm able to successfully do ff dair and ff bair very easily. Nair and uair are harder but I am able to do them once in a while, but ff Fair is something I just can't do no matter how hard I try. Maybe I'm not doing the right input at the right time? I did ff fair one time by accident and was like OMG!

Any advice for how to do this would be very much appreciated.

that's what I was thinking. Explain what happens when you try to ff fair. Do you miss the fast fall? Or do you ff another aerial? esplain prease

Well, I can do it without ffing and I can ff fair off a high platform. I'm not sure what happens though and just don't seem to have enough time to do a fair when ffing.

my guess is your rushing pressing down and overshooting the perfect up angle or neutral position of the stick, try slowing down a bit and you’ll become more smooth.

It sounds like you're having trouble with running off a platform and ff fairing? If so is it because you have to move the stick forward down forward (instead of forward down backward in a semicircle like with ff bair)? I find that pretty hard but all you can do really is practice it.

ff nair and especially uair are way harder anyway

I learned this, "tech" i guess for Keyboard you could call it a while back ago, I use it a lot for seeming a bit fast, and it's good for combos. If you're on keyboard, the Fast fall has a couple of frames that are making you stuck, you can't do any move, In that part of the Fast fall you press up and then u-air. You will get use to it after a while. Soon it will become super easy and you will be able to do it on harder people like Fox, Falcon, and stuff. Also noticed sense I started doing that I did get a bit better and I never miss Z cancel. For controller, You got to just fast fall then tilt up.

Yea, this is exactly the problem I have been having, but I seem to find ff uair and ff nair much easier to me. Thanks for the advice I'll be working on it.
