Things to note.

- Doing a buffer'd Short Hop Upair is harder, but hits lower then Full hop Upair, Some characters [like diddy] standing will not be hit by Full hop Up-air but will be tagged by SH Upair.

-This is all on standing characters, a lot of characters can probably avoid our uair by crouching or using dtilts on our shield.

- On the flip side, don't be discouraged if someone short can't be hit by this standing, this is still a godlike anti-air. :awesome:

Group A - Can be hit by full hop Uair.
Wario
Mario
Probably Everyone Else
Group B - Can be hit by SH Uair only.
Ness
Lucas
Diddy
Toon Link
Ivysaur
Group C - Can be hit by SH Uair only with precise spacing on the tip of her foot. may or may not be unreliable.
Kirby
G&W
Olimar - moderate difficulty
Jigglypuff
Ice Climbers - moderate difficulty
Squirtle
Group D - this character cannot be hit by SH Uairs of any kind
Group E - these characters can be hit by SH buffered uair from behind.
Snake
Marth
Ike
Falco
Captain Falcon
King Dedede
ROB
Pit
Samus
Zero Suit Samus
Link
Zelda [but not sheik]
Ganondorf
Yoshi [you have to hit his head with the heel, if he has his back towards you it whiffs]
DK [Same thing as yoshi, if he has his back to you it whiffs]
Bowser
Group F - these characters if spaced correctly, get hit by FH buffered uair from behind.
Snake
Ganondorf
Group G - these characters if spaced corretly, get hit by SH buffered uair crouching.
DK
Bowser
Ganondorf
Samus
King Dedede
Charizard
ROB [you have to hit his head]
Wario [You have to hit his head, difficult to space]
Group K -gets hit by FH buffered Uair if crouching
Bowser
Ganondorf
Samus
King Dedede
Group L - is only hittable during certain parts of the idle animation :|
Metaknight
Wolf
Group M - dodges sh uair during certain parts of the idle animation [crouching and sticking his *** into the air]
No character gets hit by the back hitbox of FH buffered uair crouching.

Performing:

Hold Up on the control stick lightly. too little results in nair, too much upsmash.
input jump + attack, you can't C-stick this or you'll get upsmash.

How I do SH Uair out of shield:
Put the tip of your thumb on Y and the base of it on A. flick it across Y and A.

YES IT HITS METAKNIGHT

**** IT MAY BE IMPRACTICAL DUE TO SPACING ISSUES.

Other Fun Facts about buffered Uair:

You can B.Uair -> Nair [1st hit]

You can Buffer SH Uair into a footstool for a techchase, at higher %s [60+] you can B.FH Uair into footstool, but they can airdodge, however you can react afterwards so its all good.

Zero it removes any input error from a SH uair, so yeah it should be unless you were frame perfect before. I didn't think we could hit wario at all with rising uair, let alone a buffered FH uair o.

I definitely could never hit olimar no matter what spacing so this is sexy

More groups added, tested what gets hit from BEHIND.

Now you can't even say Uptilt has cross-up protection over this ****.

edit: added crouchers

This is what I was talking about when I mentioned DA -> Frame Perfect Rising SH Uair, on Wario.

At around 40% it seem to always, ALWAYS work on my friend's Wario.
(Like if it was a true combo)

But SFP told me it shouldn't work(too slow), so I'll trust him :p
Maybe my friend doesn't shield after the DA.

Anyway, I really believe DA -> Frame Perfect Rising SH Uair at around 40% can be effective.
...If they don't shield, they're pretty much garantueed to be hit by the Uair.
And if they're confident you'll go for a garantueed Jab/Ftilt/Dtilt/Utilt/DA, they won't see any point in even trying to shield.

Legit Mix-up?

yeah utilt doesn't hit low, Pikachu can dodge it with some of his aerial landings if we try to utilt OOS.

I wouldn't be surprised if DA to uair was legit at some percents, I don't think anyone has ever actually tested our frame advantage from DA, it's such a good move for strings that the hitbox placement seems more important as long as our move is relatively fast.

SFP what makes you say jab jab uair is good? I see it being pretty easily punished honestly

So like.

is there any reason to utilt anymore.

lol

except like the people we can't hit with upair OOS, but really :>


Its also really funny that pikachu is the only character not to get hit by this.

ESAM is laughing at all of us probably.

Zero Suit is pikachu's trainer in brawl too. :>

utilt is better out of a spotdodge. You can use it after baiting an airdodge with a autocanceled uair to restart the juggle. It's the most damaging follow up out of a dash lock and works at much lower percentages than a buffered uair might (may not even work at all).

gelbooru? Eh, no thanks. I never visited that site but I don't think I want to either. I'll just stick to Fakku and Lu.Scio.Us

Bunny girls too. I've already discussed this with them, it does not make you furry.

Just don't visit #lucario or LSGD for extended periods of time...

It does make you furry, Ruby.
Rule of thumb: X% furry = 100% furry.

No exceptions.
