Even with heavyset characters like dedede if, im launched upwards and i time my down-air right , my opponents upsmash still gets me and its bull****. When your launched the game ****in tries to make you useless. Sometimes the downair doesnt even register it seems and the upair attack only.

Then stop trying to win a trade you know you wont win over and over and adapt. If you know you dont win trades against up air/smashes dont try, instead of spamming down air when you get launched just DI down normally or use it to get back on stage but NOT as an attack

^ what he said.
I play mostly heavyweights as well and feel your pain. Heavies are a giant target in the air. Some attacks take priority over others, so you have to play unpredictability. If you know he's going to up-smash, try fast fall and air Dodge and try to punish during his recovery.

I agree, heavys are already combo food on the ground. They should have some priority when hurling their entire body at an enemy. Like a proper fighting game.

I play as Ness, and his Dair is pretty sluggish... meep. At least K. Rool has his Nair.

i would say it depends on the character really..characters like Peach/Daisy, Toon Link/Link/Young Link and Corrin have a good D-air and are a guaranteed hit if the opponent does not use shield nor dodges, there are more characters with a good D-air but these were the first i could come up with right away xD

Two mods are screwing with me, my account just got unbanned yesterday and now all of a sudden a thread that was removed because its considered a rant is reopened. Isnt this a rant thread?

I'm pretty sure he's flaming everyone here, but doing so in a passive-aggressive way to try to dodge the wrath of the moderators.

After much discussion, this thread will remain locked. This is mainly due to the fact it got derailed a few posts in. In addition, please take your issues with the moderation to PM's itself or Forum Support. Thank you and have a nice day.
