Dair combos/perfect pivot bairs

Hi.
So as for the dair, is there anything guaranteed that can come out of it? Sometimes I land a dash attack, other times an up smash at high percents, sometimes an up air, and other times I painfully watch my opponent jump away from any follow up options. Also where is the sweet spot?

As for PP bairs, is it a good idea to use it point blank? If so, is it possible to consistently execute it in that scenario?
Thanks.

I'm sure someone will give you a more detailed answer, but all the things you listed (dash attack, usmash, uair) can all be guaranteed at different points depending on percents and spacing. There are essentially 3 different ways to launch from the dair, hitting them with a shorthop dair, hitting them with a fullhop dair, and then hitting them with only the final hit of a fullhop dair, these 3 different 'hits' all launch differently and so allow different followups at different percents. The last one I listed, hitting them with only the final hit of a fullhop dair, is the sweetspot you mentioned and it can link into running usmashes at kill percents.

as for PP back air, I cant really see much use to perfect pivot backair when you can reverse aerial rush it instead which is much better.

you can true combo sweetspot dair into a footstool into a falling nair to lock them. this only works under 10% on fastfallers like rob falcon and sheik. at about 40% you can combo sweetspot dair to foward air to upair
