Fair - spike or meteor smash?

[j3ly]

For those who don't know spikes and meteor smashes are different.
- You can upB (or meteor cancel) out of a meteor smash.
- Spikes send you down with no chance of meteor cancelling until its too late.

For example Falco's Dair is almost a meteor smash until around 50%, in the way that you can upB efficiently without loss of stock. After 50% even if your timing is perfect, l8iaz.


The Question:
What % does Mario's Fair become a spike? I'm sure i've caned a CP Boozer down at like 300% and hes come back, but i'm also pretty sure i've caned him down at like 100% with no recovery.



Isit possible for the move to spike between certain percentages, or maybe it depends on the opponents jump? Perhaps when (if) it does become a spike, it can still be JC'd out of.

Or maybe the move isn't a spike at any point lol.

Mario's fair is able to be meteor canceled at all times. As in, you can double jump or upB out of it if you have good timing always.

Falco's dair isnt a meteor smash period, its just the hitstun wears off and you become able to jump again at really low percents. same with marf.

ArcNatural covered mario's fair, haha.

I say it depends on who you are playing.....if you play some random noob then it can be at 0%.....while other people that are good i would say 60% to be safe
