U-Air is a quick aerial for mario. This is one of Mario’s best combo moves, if not his best and is the best way to begin combos in your mario game. Ive been questioning how to U-Air combo's for awhile now and figured it out after some practice. Go Figure. So im gonna share my method with you.
We'll Start This Off on DK
DK is one of the easiest to combo in the air due to his size and the speed that he falls. So start in training mode with DK as your opponent. SWITCH OFF TAP JUMP (for now DO IT! You can switch it back on once you've got this down). Once the match begins grab DK and use D-throw. SH and hold the control stick the way mario is facing once you have SH'd. Then use the c-stick to U-Air. You should be able to U-Air combo DK twice before hitting the ground and start U-Airing again. Once u hit the ground keep the joystick in the same direction and tap jump again while U-Airing Dk twice just as before. When u see that DK might be able to react and get out of ur reach with U-Air then it is time to do any of mario's other moves that you see fit to finish with... possibly a n-air or an fair if hes close to the edge and you have the opportunity to spike him.
Notes: This will not work when your opponnent is at a high percent. So try to get this in at the beginning of the match or at a low percent. If u want to go for a 2 or more SH U-Air combo go for it when DK is below 30% and for a single SH U-Air combo go for it when DK is below 60%. U-Air is a great damage racker and thats why im posting a thread for using it correctly to combo. These percents were just tested on DK.
This is my first time making a guide. If you see any mistakes or have any comments id appreciate your feedback.
