FA has so many uses <3

[holymario]

The most obvious one is to stun enemys to DP but its really great to come back on the stage if you come from above.
If you know the enemy has only 1 hit moves in air you can FA and after or even before he hits you cancel FA. Also when your enemy is standing too close to the ledge and you have hang there just fall -> jump and FA. Thx to the float you are above the ledge can take one hit and counter your enemy while landing on stage to punish him. And another great thing is that you can play mind games with the cancel. I can't count anymore how often I canceled short hop FA when my opponent came from above and he air dodged and I was able to punish them.

It saves me from bouncing fish and sheik fair string.

Dragon punch? Wuuuuuut. Is that another name for Shoryuken? Never heard of it.

 

[Taim Meich]

Shoryuken is literally Rising (sho) Dragon (ryu) Punch (ken)".

I find it funny how many people there are here who are unfamiliar with fighting game inputs and terms lol

FADC, DP and such are so foreign for so many people lmao

to be fair, put any smash specific terms in front of a lot of traditional fighting game fans and they'd stare at them blankly not knowing what they mean.

DI, SDI, SHFFLing, RAR, DACUS, FAIR, DAIR, UAIR, BAIR, B-sticking, etc.

Tipper, wave dash, multishine even as well. FG terms aren't universal sadly, you would only get the ones that apply to your main game

 

[Saint Shaden 009]

It goes both ways, but I get a little chuckle out of it either way lolol

Why is it odd that some smash bros players wouldn't be familiar with certain street fighter terms? -_-

Because you can laugh at them about it.

And laughing at them? Well...

Ryu can waveland with AFADC. Simply input an air dash cancel close to the ground. From observation this actually cancels the dash animation, causes you to slide, and I believe there is no landing lag aside from the normal 2-5 frames for generic landings.

Sorta a fancy gimmick but this can open up interesting punish opportunities if you armor something at extremely low commitment but are barely out of range for FA.
