i dont know if anyone knows this but the later you put your nair out during the short hop the easier it is to chase for an up smash. i think its because the nair hits them at a better angle when it first comes out because its stronger

its not that it hits them at a different angle, its just a weaker hit the longer its been out. the later you hit them, the less time you have left to finish the nair and you can reach them with the usmash faster. they also dont go as far from the weak hit.

weak bair (like, you're jumping towards them with a bair) combos into upsmash at pretty high %s... hard to land though because it has no priority. weak bair -> usmash kills jiggs starting at around 70% if you ever get the opportunity.

If they're at "pretty high %s," though, you might as well do a strong bair and edge-guard them. Also, jab > jab-cancel > up-smash can work at high percentages because the jab lifts them off the ground a bit at higher percentages.

yes... that's correct. but sometimes you have the option to land a weak bair and not the opportunity to jab. and also you can never edgeguard puff so that doesn't make sense.

edit: also dude wtf. stop losing to epsilon. immediately.

"pretty high %" is like 80% and a strong bair at 80% is nowhere near a guaranteed kill

weak bair into usmash stuff is a good chaingrab ender when you get the opportunity
