How to punish air dodging?

[Manthisis]

Been playing the demo a lot with my friend and, every time I try to attack him in the air after launching up, he just air dodges and I miss my attacks. Is there any way to punish this and/or successfully pull combos off in the air?

Well if u know ur friend always air dodge ur attacks dont attack him, instead short hop and punish him when he land in this game the air dodge have a tremendous landing lag and if u and ur friend are in a very high position dont attack him so sudden just wait til the air dodge finish the invencibility frames lol

Jump, but wait until after he's dodged instead of attacking right away.

Or heck, don't even jump early, time it so you can be in his face by the time his airdodge is over.

or you can also attack with a short fast move which he will dodge then you can punish the end lag

Prediction is key. Follow him with a jump, wait until his airdodge animation ends, then punish accordingly.

Act like you are going for the attack and after he airdodges, nail him.

If you're using a character who have a long lsting aerials, you can use that. In Mario's case, he got his down airial, I think?

When I use Greninja, I use his down air. The attack pretty much follows my target downward so when the invulnerability frame ends, he get's hit.

If he does this all the time, wait for it and punish it. Air Dodging while landing is easily punishable this time around. (Unless if didn't hit the ground after dodging, then you'll have to time your attack correctly, after the air dodge, or use a multi-hit move to hit more easily.)

This. A lot of stuff has lasting hitboxes.
