Returning to the stage via fair

[Spife]

I'm sure some one has posted this but I felt like sharing it because I haven't read it yet. If you get knocked off the stage, DI towards the stage and fire A like mad. As soon as you break tumble you will fair your way back to the stage for literally impossible distances otherwise. I only wish I had a video but it's ridiculous how far Sonic can make it back with his fair.

I'm not well versed in this game yet, but I think by doing this you'll lower the fairs damage but...well it comes down to living at that point.

Once again, sorry if this is common knowledge, but I feel it is very important to know >.>

I've seen people do it, but I don't think I've ever seen a thread on it. Jeez, how much better is Sonic's recovery going to get?

 

[Dark Sonic]

Sonic for best recovery? Seriously, his recovery is looking almost as rediculous as Pit's (okay, maybe that's a stretch).

 

[Spife]

I know I didn't stress this enough (I might be able to get a video of it) but you literally have to spam his fair. Next chance you get, put your self in a situation where you're knocked off the stage and far. I've seen the fair used for recovery but about as fast as Marth in melee with his side b (with as much time between moves I mean).
My question is, will this lower the fair's damage and knock back? (Or does that only work when you connect with that attack?)

 

[RenegadeRaven]

It only lowers the damage if it connects, so it's all good.

 

[Spife]

That is good to know! Thanks (I feel like a nub for not knowing that)

Spin Dash works better.

Are you gimped in spin dash if youv'e already used your second jump?
Can you up b out of spin dash?
Can you break out of spin dash?
God I wish I had a Wii so I could stop asking questions and start trying things x__X;

Sorry, I'm not really the tournament/competitive guy, so I have no idea what gimped means.
You can use Spring Jump out of Spin Dash.
Again, I don't know what you mean by "break out of".

If you spindash after your double jump, you fall to your death unless you actually land on the stage. You can't even catch the edge. Bad idea for recovering.

You cannot UpB out of your spindash unless you jump first.

You can break out of the spindash with a jump provided you have a jump left. Oddly enough, you have a about half a second where you can't jump out of your Spindash after you turn around with it.

Thanks for the info. I'm a Sonic main, so this is pretty helpful. I didn't notice it.
