when you know they will jump nair can beat them out. if they are grounded it's usually pretty bad cause they can shield or crouch cancel and punish it.

Nair is good if your opponent likes to rely a lot on spot dodging, or if you need a hitbox to stay out longer to his sides than something like fair's which goes through a swinging arc.

Nair isn't necessarily a great approach. The idea is to catch an opponent midair with it if they approach you. You want the opponent to fall into your nair rather than to fall into them with a nair, because then you will get punished.
