Please excuse my ignorance, but I really dont understand why JC usmash is useful. a dash can be canceled simply by a usmash w/o a JC. are there any other uses for usmash that that only be exploited by a JC?

How do you cancel a dash into an upsmash without JC? Dash canceling with crouch? If you're pressing Up+A to upsmash, you're already JCing your upsmashes from your dash.

Yeah, a dash cannot be usmash canceled. You have to either crouch cancel or jump cancel.

when u U-smash out of a dash, u are unnoticably jump canceling ur dash when u smash the control stick up.

sometimes if u dont do it right u end up doing a dash attack instead of a u-smash. because u didnt jump cancel correctly. but really... theres no other way of canceling a dash into an attack without jumping or crouching.

ok, its just whenever i thought of jc (like a jc grab) I think of pressing z+x quasi-simultaneously, where x acts as the jump. I guess I didnt realize that the up command in usmash actualy jc's the usmash. If such is the case, then my n00b brother has been jcing ushashes for years...

It's also good out of shield. Great punisher. beats pillaring. wait for the shine, then immediately jc usmash.

It does, i used it recently at a tourny. SH shine from shield also beats pillaring.

After Falco's shine, his dair, nair, and bair, are all like 8 frames or more i believe...

Fox's usmash is 6 frames and his shine is 4 frames. Both moves are faster than anything Falco can do after his shine.

Therefore: Wait for his shine and use either move, and it breaks his pillar.
