Smexy Uair

[KoSa!]

Why don't we use it?

I read somewhere that if you are facing the enemy in the air then you should Nair over the laggy Fair, the spammable Bair that won't hit in this situation, and the Jeff that probably won't hit. But why don't we Uair, I find myself missing Nair a lot against anything smaller than Mario. But when I pull out an Uair, it connects and at low percents I can follow depending on DI with a Bair, Utilt, another Uair, or more epic start "Jeffin' it". Sure some horizontal range is lost but I haven't done my testing on this, but I think hitting a crouching Pikachu or even a Kirby will work with the Uair.

I find myself loving this move more and more.

I do use uair in that situation, I usually use it a lot, it's really quick

 

[crifer]

yeah I like it too,
and I like juggling a la pseudo melee^^

 

[magikguy]

it's always great to have it fresh to kill ..

And it stays out for a long time.

True... But doesn't the Nair kill if the enemy is in the air.

YES. I play Brawl DK like a Melee one.

I think Nair has less landing lag than Uair.

But you were just talking about how often nair misses

I use u-air to rack up percent, along with the d-throw + f-tilt combo. U-air also strings well from a down-b.

On a side note, f-air is great for ffing. used sparingly, it tends to surprise, tho i do use it with shorthop dodges (d-air usually is more effective cause of less lag).

@Jingo-not sure on the landing recovery for n-air and u-air...prob too close for it to matter.

I use U-Air all the time, it's fast, deals some good damage, and has some power to it lol

U-air is a good way to rack up some initial damage and refresh some attacks
Yeah its real fast !
Try to use Up Throw + U-air against your opponent at Low Percents, its good to start a combo and rack up the initial damage.

 

[SmashBrosForce]

I use this U-air a lot too.
Its real simple, I use my start combo (Up Throw + U-air), some several Grabs like Down / Back Throw, some Tilts and I try to kill with a Meteor Smash or a F-Smash.

DK's U-air is Awesome !

 

[YagamiDark]

I'd rather punch them over anything else

 

[Luigi player]

I use uair really often, it's pretty good, too bad that it has so much landing lag. I use nair too though, sometimes it's better.

Don't you get what I just said. Nair kills when they are in the air.

Uair is very sexy and nice for juggling/killing.
