Other Means of Killing: Fast Falling UAir

[Corthos Fellrin]

Ok, I've been playing Pit for sometime now. When I watch other Pits/DPs play I see them getting kills off FThrow and reads with Fsmash and such. I have been sitting on this for a while now and even had a posted that had it inside, but I was never sure if it was useful. Now I know this can be useful as it has lead to quite a few of my kills. Let's just talk about it:

So Pits/DP UAir is used juggling and combo finishing, but UAir has a hitbox in the center that has a set knockback even at 999%. If you do a falling UAir on someone it can lead into a USmash and a kill. If you do this when they aren't in kill % then you can pivot grab. I found this to be really useful I wanted to tell others so they can use it too. I don't have anything to record to show what it looks like, sorry lol. Just know if you do a Fast Falling UAir on someone it will shoot them up a bit. No one has DI'd this so not sure if you can. You people test it out and see for yourself on how useful it is. Unlike doing a sweetspotted DAir into USmash try this as this combo can't be teched. If you mess up the enemy slide left or right.

Edit: I really want to have footage this just to show because I am visual person myself. I don't have the stuff to record so it will be trash can quality. Unless someone else does it, I'm going to do it .

Edit 2: Fun Fact if you are quick enough you can get a footstool. This means you can do your footstool combos if you wish.

It's a great kill option but not very safe. You need to be sure it hits, otherwise you are getting punished because uair has nasty landing lag. I have been trying to use this too lately on for glory.

Here is how I see it: When I go for the kill, most of the time it is DAir > USmash but everyone knows they can tech it. For those that can "tech those" I use this option. This is nothing to spam or nothing to fish for a kill with. I never said it was safe, itis just an option.

In the neutral game I tend to float around when they get too close. It is normal when they get close to punish me for doing I bait them with fast fall into another quick jump or footstool. For those people who do not challenge this and stay in shield I will fast fall into a grab. Anyway I don't want people spamming this option for they will get rekt.
