also fast falling the nair before the last hit while the opponents in the air opens a lot more options ( sh bair, pivot grab, charged smash, ect.

Ack! All horrilbe options with such a narrow time window. Nair has viturally no hitstun at all on those few hits that are not the last hit. Peach or Ness could easily Nair you out of anything you try if you are attempting to pivot grab or SH Bair them. Go with shorter time span moves like angled Ftilt, Utilt, or even a shield grab to predict attacks while they are in the air.

Although, I suppose only people at high levels and characters with actually good aerial options would pose a threat.

I've gotten a kill by netting someone with the last upward hitboxes of nair -> usmash.

It's a great move on places like BF.

And I love it against ROB, since iirc he can't be CG'd very much so you can end it with this as an alternative and possibly send him on a better angle.

i think nair can beat nado from the side too when spaced just right, which i'm not certain what that spacing is exactly but i've done it on accident twice now (no it wasnt on the start up of nado). maybe somethin else was going on, i mean twice on accident isnt exactly concrete evidence. i'd rather take the usmash though personally.

I thought Dair actually hit him out of it from the top?

I just shield Nado and Dacus or grab him if I can. Phantasm otherwise.

Butya Nair is pretty sexy.

i didn't say to use a certain option, i just said those are available. obviously i would suggest using the best one for the best situation. i apologize if i wasn't clear on the matter

A great move that is supremely underused by me (and a lot of people). Great for catching other people off momentum and setting one up for yourself if you're losing air balance.
