I've noticed that snakes neutral a air is very powerful (especially the final kick)

However, I'm having trouble trying to pull it off on the ground. I've gotten it timed pretty well in the air, but I can only land 3 kicks on the ground. Do I need to double jump? I'm drawing a blank here guys, so any help will be greatly appreciated

to get all of the kicks out with only one jump just...

Press the jump button and slide your thumb to the A button. It works every time.

It will leave you with a little down time as you hit the ground. So, you can just jump twice and start it to have a safe landing

thx cecilanius, but what do u mean by slide your thumb to the A button? does that mean that you press A immediately after the jump? or does it mean hold A.

Yeah, press A immediately after the jump. The easiest way is to just slide whatever finger from the jump button to the A button.

Make sure you hold down on the jump button as you slide your thumb to A. So essentially have your thumb on both buttons. This lets you do the full jump and nair as you rise.

If you use tap jump (which so few people seem to do XD) there is a point just before you reach the top of your jump that you can get all 4. Its tricky and i cant pull it off consistently but it's just before the top of your jump. and just after you can release the tap upwards to get a full jump rather than a short hop. If you practice on a sandbag it is just after the top of it when you kick.
