Do any of you guys use upsmash's sour spot?

I usually use it to catch rolls, as it can lead into Bair and other moves of Pikachu's. How about you guys?

I usually don't sour spot it intentionally, but I will combo it into Bair if I do sour spot it within the right percentage. Other than that, I try not to get the sour hit.

I don't deliberately go for Sourspot Up smashes, as the general goal is to get the kill. However, it's quite the saving grace if you happen to miss the sweetspot. I usually just combo with U-air/ B-air or try to follow their fall to set something else up.

I do not try to go for it, but when I nail sourspot it helps lead into up-air strings. It can catch rolls or bad DIs. Sometimes if I hit sour spot I might use it as a chance to reset the neutral if needed.

As they say, "Go with the flow."

I don't got for it intentionally. However, when I do get it I go for another Up Smash and most of the time it connects...

I mean I recognize that it's there but I never intentionally go for it. I get it on accident and combo from it when I do, but it doesn't really seem reliable. I feel like short hop Dair is better for catching rolls and spot dodges.
