hmm... its pretty much situational
bair is strongest spike he has, but, its way more situational and needs to be precise
dair is just too weak in terms of knockback, but if pulled well you can deliver high damage and kill somebody at higher ranged
theyre pretty much situational, you can try first fair to dair... or bair to bair... or bair to dair... or bair to dair (vs diddy, fox, falco mainly)
ive got some sick spikes (yes i called them sick.. at least they are sick for me XD) recorded, if i ever get to know a way to pass the replays from the tv to my computer id post em

lol, if someone figures out a way to convert file types from the one used by Nintendo to an AVI or whatever, that would be amazing. (like what's been done with pictures)

Doesn't the last kick in his dair spike? I'm not positive on this, so don't take my word for it.

It does, but it's rather weak as far as spikes go. Bair's better but harder to sweetspot.

Dair sends them down pretty slowly from my experience. I could just be doing it wrong.
And Bair is a(n) -itch to land.
Though if you're set on learning how to spike, def go with Bair.

The B-air spike is hit or miss mostly. I spike a lot with D-air against characters that don't get a lot of horizontal (marth particularly) or don't go up very quickly with their recoveries to give me to more chances to gimp.

Bair is the spike i use, im pretty sure its a sweetspot thing but im not 100% certain, i think if you hit with the very bottom of the Bair it will spike them pretty fast. but yeah i never use Dair to spike, mostly as a defensive move.
Thanks for the vid, prOAPC. Found another good one here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xO8Nc17ZIyk

Hm, I have always felt the sweetspot and timing for b-air was right when his leg becomes horizontal and a little bit after, the sweetspot being just under his foot (where it makes contact of course).

The sweetspot in the Bair is when the hexagon things start to appear and when the leg is between the duration of this ( l ) and this ( \ ). All else will hit then up.

Its called mediaconverter.com I go there to get all the songs for my mp3 (I get the youtube vids and have them converted to mp3 format). Just get the vids on your computer and upload them to the cite and convert them to a wmv format.

I use back air spike 0% of the time.
My favorite spike is the d-air to d-air double spike deluxe.

lol full hop dair, double jump dair, falling dair with zero lag is amazing.
Anyhow for all of you looking for Bair's sweetspot, it can spike at literally any point of it. I've spiked people who were directly below me with the very end of the move as well as just about every other point in the move. It has more to do with hitting with the tip of your foot in the hexagon. It's really not that hard to get down once you practice it a little bit. I find it most useful against characters with predictable recoveries. Occasionally you can get someone by ftilt or jab combo off the edge and immediately going for a Bair spike that they'll jump into. It really helps if they're moving toward you for Bair spikes.
If you spike with Dair make sure you ALWAYS follow it up. It's really weak so people can recover from it almost always. I usually like to have a Bair spike ready for them to jump into.
