Short hop dair

So I learned short hop dair, and now I've started playing so many more characters just because of their short hop dairs;
Yoshi, Link, Marthcina, Kirby, Fox, Falcon, and even Puff.

I'm now convinced that Puff isn't even bottom tier since I've recently been pulling off this nasty combo where you just do a dair to a dair to a dair to a rest.

Short Hop Dair isn't exactly gonna make anybody go up in the tier list.
SH Dair is pretty awful with Marcina too, tbh, because their Dair is a pretty awful move. Frame 9 for the first hitbox, 24 frames of Landing Lag out of a Shorthop and not even that much reward.

Good for y'all but I wouldn't say :4marth:/:4lucina:'s d-air is good out of short-hop. In fact, that move is completely useless, so I don't know why y'all brought them up. And could y'all explain :4link: as well. AFAIK y'all almost always suffer landing lag from using d-air that way.

Link does have a lot of landing lag, but his dair is multi hit and does quite a bit of damage.

I daresay, I'm surprised y'all haven't mentioned :4wario: with his short-hop d-air. That racks up fair damage and doesn't have a terrible recovery. And what about :4ganondorf:? His d-air is a good one but I think it's better from a full jump. Somehow, I don't think it autocancels from short hops any longer.

True. I just don't like those characters enough...
