A while back I posted in the social thread that I got Lucas's Nair to jab reset, but wasn't able to recreate it. Until now, anyway. It's actually pretty simple. Basically, when your opponent hits the ground from tumble, you have to immediately fast fall the first hit of Nair into them, and it will jab reset. It doesn't work if you come down from too high, so the positioning/timing is fairly strict.

I have a video of this, but I am currently experiencing difficulties uploading it. I will put it here in an edit once I get it working. In the mean time, go try it out for yourselves.

I thought this was already known. Even if it's borderline useless on ground, it's useable if the opponent is on a platform. Good luck getting a punish out of it though.

I haven't heard people talk about it before. Guess this post might educate a few people, at least.

I can confirm that it works, but it's hard to time because only the first hit locks. Honestly though, I can't think of any realistic applications for it.
