Probably the best thread title, ever. Will play around with that later maybe. Any situations in particular you like to use it in?

I use it when I dtilted someone CC'ing or a shield(provided he's at that percent where he can CC the dtilt but not the up-b).
I also use this to escape pressure to the top platform; ie: in doubles the other teammate is coming and I need to get the heck out with a quick combo.
I barely use this on FD. Intermediate probability when under side platforms.
Mostly when I'm right under the stage's middle platform. That being said, I still use this sparingly. Like as a mix-up. They shield grab? Up-b. They continue shielding to shield the up-b? Grab instead.
Also good for sending someone who ledgehop airdodges back off the stage(being under top platform doesn't apply here)

Hmmm, 2 dtilts to 1 dsmash? I might try that as an actual combo, maybe not as a shield pressure option. Does it really pressure shields that much?
The up-b sends them off stage though while the dsmash would send them up.

I dunno, but it always works when I do it. Provided you're at the right spacing. I think it's because it's so unexpected.

CHIP>..i TRIED this today...and it was pure ownage

dtilt, dtilt, dsmash
so much ownage...dtilt dtilt dsmash..as long as you expect a wd out or roll, then dang..it's ****....i guess they could jump out..but in some matchups jumping out against marth is pretty bad.....so it's ownage..

Told you! It could also be bad if they switch to light shield or tilt the shield to block the dsmash or your spacing is bad, but usually you're poking with a tipper dsmash after 2 dtilts.

light shield gets pushed away and I waited till the shield had gone down...but better players will just angle their shield instead of light shielding..and then i will just nair...and if they lightshield I can just poke them again and gain more stage control

So I did this a bit more yesterday against a cf and he very often shielded the first one then jumped the second one and naired me so I think I'm gonna stay away from using it against cf.
