Little Mac Has An Aerial Comb That Kills At 70%!

[Conradical]

Hello people,
So, I was checking my Youtube subscriber inbox and found that CT ZeRo posted a video about an aerial combo with Little Mac. I checked this out and I was completely astounded. Natrurally, the first thing I did was to try to replicate it, and I did. Below is the video of the combo. Of course, I did not discover this. Feel free to tell me what you think about this!

I heard DK can just UP B out of that combo.

tried this on my 3DS and i was able to replicate the combo to the point where i could get 3 or 4 nairs stringed together in a row, but it was really tricky with the controller and i wasnt able to finish with the up-B. most likely it is doable on the 3DS as well, you just need to be really comfortable with the controller.

Can anyone test to confirm if this is a true combo that can't be escaped? Also, does this only work on DK, looks like it would work on anyone.

Played a few games with Aerodrome, trust me its escapable.

This only works on DK. I've tried it in Training. ZeRo wasn't even the one who found this, by the way -- it was showcased in a Vine.

It works on more than just DK. Zero was wrong about who it works on, but it does work effectively on six characters.
This combo string is escapable, but so are a lot of things in Smash Bros. It baffles me when ever people get hit by down throw into up smash.
Here's everything I've figured out about the attack string:

If it helps, I've done it on Yoshi.

I don't think it's that reliable. I really feel like maybe DK will get out of it.
It also seems like he is probably the only one that it can be done to.
I tried doing it to smaller characters it was much harder.

What we need to do is see the frame advantage on the move. We know it's -1 at best, but if it isn't much worse than that (-2 or better would be ideal), we could see what characters we could actually N-Air -> N-Air against, which could be mixed up with N-Air -> footstool at any point, especially since N-Air -> N-Air should eat opponents attempting to double-jump out; a lot of characters don't have aerials faster than Frame 5, after all, and I imagine airdodges still start on Frame 4 for most characters...
