eruption problems

during online play, i never seem to use eruption. its a good move, but i cant find competitive uses for it. could anyone tell me good competitive eruption tatics?

Pretty much all I use it for is falling so you use your SAF to counter any attacks and send them upward at the same time.

if your oppnet is below you you can use eruption to get them away from you you can also edgeguard with it.

also good for edgeguarding

GTFO the Fucking internets, eruption is not a good move

Okay Miller, just calm down and don't flame/troll please.

Anyways, I always use Ike's Eruption when falling if I know the other guy is gonna try and "juggle" me. If released at the right time, Ike will not flinch, and most times will send the opponent upwards a good amount (i've koed people this way). Edge guarding is also a good way to use eruption, most characters attack on their Up+B, so Ike won't flinch when he releases eruption, so the attack will follow through, and hopefully, hit the opponent.

It can be used a great taunt/mindgame if your timing is good. Gall them with it and when they fell they have to attack release it. A smart opponent will wait for it to expire before they attack, but this usually gives you enough time to counter.

holy ****, miller. get anger management.jesus!

i use eruption when falling next to the stage, then use bup or bover to get back on.
most people wont air dodge it
yeah edgeguard with it because many will underestimate the upwards reach
