Okay, so i was just messing around with pika in training mode and i realised something , whenever you QAC( or regular QA from the ground) into the ground, Pikachu is in the air for what appears to be 1 frame or so (its almost impossible to see). Even though this isnt very usefull , i began to experiment with it a little and found out that as an alternative to QACing into you opponent , jumping and executing a Fair or Bair, or whatever, you can QAC into your opponent and use a Dair. Because pikachu is only in the air after quick attack for a very short amount of time, he only does the landing animation of the Dair wich pushes you opponent away. This could be used as an alternative to Fair or Bair and would make some of your decay go away since Dair isnt one of pika's most used moves and because of this, it would be at full power most of the time and it might even kill them in some circumstances.:bee:

P.S. sorry if this is already known :p

Haha, I beileve this is known by the majority of people who can use Quick Attack Cancel. You can even jump during this frame that Pikachu is off the ground. Straight out doing a down air out of the Quick Attack really isn't that great due to landing, but I do use it in some situations (though its not a majority of my matches). As for the Fair, Bair statement, that would be more so your thoughts because I usually use Fair and Dair for Short Hops Aerials :p. Nice that you figured out you could do this though.

It is already widely known, the point of QuACing is to cancel it into something else, that is a common move to cancel it into. Don't worry about it though, you learned something. It doesn't realy matter if we already knew it.

Wow, Rollerking... I think your the first person ive seen that actually told a person its ok, or good job learning instead of just bashing them with insults because they were a little slow to discover a certain technique. This just shows not all people are a**holes.

no no, i wasent saying you were an ***hole, i was saying a lot of people just automatically assume people are stupid or what not because they learned something later then when that certain technique was originally posted. Sorry for the confusion.

its been my experience that people get mad when the person who said they discovered a new tech got mad at those who explained that it had already been found and then start saying that they dont care b/c forums are stupid anyways.
