I was wondering if theres anything intersting you can do with bair.
since its discovery i have used it pretty much as my main ko move among other things

but the onlyparticularly interesting thing ive used it for is psych-to-spike

thoughts?

well you're probably already aware of this, but it's great for RARs, and yes it is a great KO move. I also use it in combo with a bthrow occasionally.

With a little prediction, you can always try a bair/side smash if your opponent has a low %. (:

RAR = Reverse Aerial Rush.

1. Run.
2. Turn around mid-run.
3. Jump
4. ???
5. Profit.

After jumping, you will be facing the opposite direction you were running, but with the momentum in the direction you were running.

This basically gives you another way to approach when combined with Bair.

Bair autocancels if you shorthop it and start it as you're rising. It's really useful.

Not only that, though bair has a small hit box infront of ike which is quite useful if the opponent is close enough, especially in ledge hopping. :)

Okey I'm trying to autocancel bair but I'm still getting lag at the end of the move even when I short hop O.o

Mabye I'm doing it without noticing it but to make sure does anybody have a vid of it being done or can explain it abit more? I'd apreciate it ^^

You will notice you can instantly start another attack after you land. Try doing something like jumping or jabbing after each bair and compare the timing. It is very noticeable.

I switch mains around a ton, and MK is the most recent (like, 3 weeks ago). Ankoku should have a few vids of my fox up there too.

Bair is nasty against tall characters , cause u can still hit them even half a sh distance from the ground . I might have also seen people using walk off bair and hitting a ledge camper , it is also a great combo with a off edge fair . Watch some pro vids you'll get the idea.
