Dual walls of pain...which is better?

[aextreme73]

I've been trying out aerials and im wondering it the f-airs or b-airs work better as walls of pain, (not referring to up-air fence of pain)

they are all fences

 

[ShockisBack]

personally i like bair better and i find it more effective.

 

[Vulcan]

I usually do both. I find both equally effective, although Bair is probably easier.

 

[T-nuts]

lol. use whichever you are in a better situation for. if youve got time to set up either use bair.

EDIT: i see this question too often

 

[A1lion835]

Yea...this came up a little back...and a little back of that...and...

Bair is better. And Bair, in melee, was considered a FoP, but Kirby has considered to have a significant enough change to make it a WoP.

 

[Brave Hippo]

I also have to say Bair is better. Its easier, and the most effective. Dont just STICK to Bair, though. Fair can be a very helpful WoP, too.

 

[Triple R]

I would say bair beats out fair anyday as far as overall usefulness goes, but it doesn't hurt to use fair once in awhile. I find it especially helpful to use fair when your opponent likes to spotdodge a lot. If you do a bair you whiff, if you do a fair you hit them they they are done with the spotdodge.

B-air, it's a good looking attack and it's more controlable. Don't spam it much thou.

 

[yummynbeefy]

the fair wop is my personal favorite just because i looove kirbys f-air but ya b-air an u-air are also great fop and wop

 

[Pink murder]

I find it pretty pointless posting considering that everyone else pretty much clarified this .
But yea, Bair is better IMO. I think its much easier to execute and overall its more effective. Not sure if this would still be considered a WoP, but i like to mix them up sometimes ^^. Start with Fair and mix that with a few Bairs.

 

[aextreme73]

haha nice info
i pocket toon link, and he has similar quickness with both b-air and f-air, but b-air seems to be the best of both cases (but not to the point of staling)

 

[kirbz]

fair wop is harder

 

[8BitRevolver]

bair is the best cause its pretty easy to smash DI the opposite direction against the fair

 

[Pink murder]

I like to mix them up, simply because my Bair tends to get stale fairly quickly.

Is a fence of pain just a pseudo wall of pain or what?

 

[lil cj]

Both are great moves and should be used equally
But if I had to choose I'd say bair is better...it has more priority and is much easier to hit your opponent with.

 

[DR809]

Bair is preferably better unless you want to rack up damage with Fair or if you want to hit an air dodge.

 

[DFat2]

Use the search engine people. This Topic has already been discussed, twice.

Bair is infinitely better, with the exception of situations where you can't execute it.

Example; Your opponent is in the air in front of you. And even there, it's debatable since, U-air could be better in the situation as well.

 

[Percon]

Bair is the better move overall, but I've been using fair quite a bit recently to WoP... it seems to be harder to escape depending on the character.

Agreed wholeheartedly.

Fair DOES seem to be harder to escape. Anyone know how much damage it does if you land all 3 hits? I forgot >_< I'll look into it...

Anyway, the most important part: using Fair to rack up damage/push your opponent closer to the edge means that your Bair is not stale. Kirby is one of the few characters that can turn around in midair with his air jumps...so WoP with Fair, and then finish off with a fresh Bair if possible.

It's mostly theory...but the fact that Fresh Bair = Happy Kirby Main is not theory.

One problem I can think of is that your opponent can Smash DI out of Fair.

Example: Kirby is Fairing while moving to the right...opponent SDIs left, gets out pretty easily. Nobody's ever done this to me, but a top player probably would.

Fair seems pretty darn effective against Snake, in my experience. Whether he's on the ground and spotdodging, or in the air and airdodging...it works well, and keeps your Bair fresh for KOs.

 

[TechnoMonster]

Its 12-15%ish fresh?

I use F-air when falling down in front of someone with good spacing, since its fairly hard timing to punish, and then ppls are like ZOMG GET EM and I'm like k spot dodge wuts up now GRAB oh is that u getting le combo'd?
