Yeah, I never denied falling u-air has potential, I love the tool, personally, I just know it's not the most reliable tool Falco has. lol
bread) strings because I find u-air awkward to work with. It's a minor hurdle on my part, but I'll get there. U-airs combo building potential is something I definitely don't scoff at so forgetting about it would be a huge mistake.
Merged with the approach and combo thread. D-throw to Uair is kind of iffy because of how Falco's Uair works. For one, you're forced to hit with the back part if you want the earliest hit since Falco does a front flip unlike everyone else, Captain Falcon, Ganondorf, Kirby, Luigi, (Dr.) Mario, and ZSS - maybe more I'm missing -, who do backflips. The other issue is that Falco's Uair hitbox starts a bit higher up unlike the other where it's pretty much feet level, so trying to flick someone up won't be as easy. That said, his Uair, especially the back hit, is a good setup into other moves along with being a good frame trap to Bair.
When opponents do not tech their falls and you lock them in place with their 3 lasers to force a get up for free damage.
I'm aware of how the jab locks work but you were saying they can start it with a d-throw to RAR bair? I know you can regrab after RAR bair but not laser lock
Oh, that's a bummer. SHFF Nair can confirm into jab on Fox all the way up to 140% (True combo)
That doesn't actually work, having tried it myself. It's a pretty good mixup that can land you a dtilt, jab combo, or grab...
I'm not sure if we are talking about the same thing, unless you mean the DSmash isn't true which I know. But Nair to jab is a true combo. The last hit of Nair sends them flying at that percent. When you jab to stop their momentum from flying off stage they are not on the ground and in hit stun.
I think only the last hit of Nair puts opponents in hitstun. So I don't think 1-3 hit Nair can True combo into anything. I also think that if your not canceling Nair off last hit you will have some lag. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
Correct! You can use Nair FF but it won't be a true combo. You can still dsmash jab or use tilts if they don't react fast enough.
As Dao and ToTs said, hits 1-3 of nair don't put characters into hitstun, so I'm confused as to how this is garanteed. Can you post a video or some such of you doing this with someone else DI'ing/attempting to jab as soon as they land?
If you hit the last hit of Nair right before landing, Falco will have no landing lag. I'm assuming there is just enough time to U-Smash the opponent.
I'm interested in any proof concerning kill confirms. Make sure you use someone with a 1 frame jab.
There is hit stun, but it's set because of set knockback - hits 1 to 3 are loop hits after all. The problem is this: the game actually tells you can land before hit 4 of Nair and immediately go into jab like how the game tells us how you can fast fall Fox's Fair, but instead of landing before the last hit, they advise to land with the last hit to followup. The Wii U in-game tips says and I quote: "Standard Air Attack – If you land just before the final attack in Falco's midair combo, you can move straight into a standard combo on the ground." Source: http://www.ssbwiki.com/List_of_tips_(SSB4-Wii_U)#Falco. Problem? I rarely see it happen and when it does happen, it's really hard to notice how they do it since it's Nair, land, immediate jab. The Japanese players pull this off sporadically and Falco players in general land with the last hit instead to chain Nairs.
The initial back of hit of Uair can setup Bair while the front hit can setup another Uair or Nair or Fair. The center hit which sends people mostly vertical is where you'd want to hit for kills high up, but you could confirm another Uair since it just sends people almost straight up. Eh, going to say that most people are hitting for the sake of hitting. Just get comfortable with how moves work with any character and notice where it sends your opponent. Frame data helps with the exact angles and such, but you can still get a feel with how stuff works.
Yeah man I know right. Really mastering the timing of the b reversal is key. Or else you'll phantasm off stage and possibly at that point you may not have a jump lol
It won't work on every character at just any percent. Some characters need damage built up first like lighter ones. I can't give specific characters at thr moment but the timing and spacing of the uair does take some lab practice.
I know right?! The funny part is that because his laser is so slow to shoot it actually feels easier to b-reverse it loll
