Fairs or Bairs for the grab?

[Noraa]

I am trying to main olimar and im comming from using lucas. Iv been watching videos and i noticed people mostly use Fairs and Bairs for spacing. Im using olimar aggressivley and wondering if i should Fair more then Bair cause it seems to be easy to grab when finished with either move.

Which one is more effective?

I believe both the fAir and bAir are great aerials, but I do the fAir more often to - like you said - move onto another grab/fSmash more easily.

fair = quicker and just as strong with less lag time and you land facing him. bair I almost NEVER use

The FAir is just as fast, slightly stronger, and is more convenient than the BAir.

No RARing for Olimar. His bair doesn't have enough knockback to warrant any potential use, and you could easily pull of a fair in less time.

Although correct me if I'm wrong, I think his bair gets stronger if you don't use it at all, so pulling one off every once in a while maybe good? I don't have a Wii to check.

Fair is better if not just for control. Not to mention (though I'm not 100% sure) you can double jump after a fair. I don't believe you can with a Bair.
