I was messing around on the lab against Capt. Falcon, and when he's at 83% and up, if you short hop, and fastfall through a fair so that only the initial (weak) kick hits, he is placed in a tech chase situation... I'm finding it's possible to do this sourspot fair, then assuming the tech is missed, you can foxtrot towards him into up-b and it seems like a pretty tight frametrap. Has anyone played around with the weak hit of f-air to any success?

Gotta love Sakurai angles. The first hit of fair actually goes hard as a combo starter. The second hit isn't too bad either.

First hit of Fair combos to BK at absurd percents on all characters ;)

Like if Nair won't work anymore, bring the Fair and bring the business

Good to know; I main regular Samus and have been messing around with ZSS on the side for some time now. This combo into BK only happens after these tech-situations I'm assuming?

It'll actually combo prior to the tech chase scenario at the percents that it's worth going for it
