Which meteor smash do you usually prefer during a match to finish off an enemy?
My most favorite ones are dropdown Dairs. So disrespectful! I'll create the situation for them by throwing a projectile forwards, waiting for the opponent to go low, going underneath the projectile's trajectory and meeting the opponent. With my feet.
My second is reverse Fair. As my style is getting more technical, it's easier for me to read others jumping angles and when we'll meet. So throwing out RAR Fairs is a lot easier (ex. https://youtu.be/tPpmXOJ0BS4?t=1m45s), PLUS it keeps your momentum so you can get both a reverse Fair and Dair in, which is extremely cool to watch. Air footsies!
My last favorite is a combo: Sourspot Fair (arm) to Header. I don't know why this works so well, but the Sourspot puts the enemy in the perfect position for WFT's momentum to catch up to them for the Header. The cool thing is that it works in reverse too! As long as you hit the arm's Sourspot, the conditions will still allow you to use Header in the same fashion. Note that both moves are being used in midair against an aerial opponent trying to come back to the stage. Not like Nair Header, which is set up from from being on the stage near the ledge.
Header by itself used to hype me up, but For Glory spammers turned it into a mockery by ONLY attempting that and nothing else. Plus, that's kind of easy mode now that our meta has moved past just that one move.
