Hello,

Have you guys experienced anything similar to this? When hitting Mario with fair as soon as he misses a tech and hits the ground it has an animation that is very similar to a locking animation that may lead to a forced get up. The Mario player doesn't get up because I jab too quickly so I can't be certain. I have replicated it in training and the cpu always stands right after but I don't have someone else here to test to see if other options are available. Could this be a possible fair lock to where you can follow up with anything?

Edit: It appears to be similar this little mac https://vine.co/v/OJFJQHlLtOb

Probably better in the social, but interesting nonetheless with the possibility of fair locking people since our jab doesn't do the job.

So unfortunate jab doesn't do the trick. Can't complain much though with how great it is otherwise.

Yup I had this happen a couple times. Unfortunately soft nair/jab does not keep them knocked down like in brawl. I'd guess your next option after the fair knockdown would be a Dsmash or Db for that damage.

EDIT: Here's an example of its use It's cool what you can set up after knocking an opponent from platform
