R.O.B.'s rare fastfall dair

[Rob_TH]

I wanted to talk about that strange move. As a R.O.B. main, I sometimes have accidentally thrown a dair at some point and unintentionally pull out that thing. I don't find any better way to describe, it's just that the dair doesn't keep our robot in the same position in the air, instead it does kinda like a fastfall while doing the dair animation.

What I'd like to know creating this thread is: is there anyone that knows how to pull that out intentionally? It only happened to me randomly every time I did it. I think it can be useful for mindgames and to perform an unexpected spike or something xD.

Thanks in advance

If you double tap the c stick down in the air it does a down air and then also registers a fast fall.

Well, I tried what you say but it performs a dair and then, after the little up-thrust the robot gets, the fastfall comes out. What I'd like to do is to perform both things at the same time, without that up-thrust, just fast-fall with the dair, like if you were doing a Kirby's fastfall dair as normal.

Thx anyway xD.

Maybe try holding the c stick down the entire time?

All you do is do a dair out of hitstun. Usually at mid to higher percents. Let someone grab you at maybe 50+, throw you upwards, and just do a dair as soon as you can.

Applications? Heck yes. Don't ever let a Mario get away with upb'ing you again and you not punishing him for it. Soar to the ground with a dair and upsmash him. It can also lead to tons of other setups.

If you want to know something stranger that you can do with this, time a jump and dair out of hitstun. (once again, mid to higher %s). Rob will boost upwards with a sort of super jump. Less applicable. Just a crazy property.

Hope this helps!

Oh, thank you so much man! That's gotta be the case, cause now that I remember every time it happened to me was out of hitstun. It'd be really awesome if you could also try it at any moment but as you say, seems to have great applications still.

Great, omw to the lab right now then, thanks again!

Very welcome my dude. Same properties applied to Brawl ROB. It's pretty neat =]
