[Sonic] lol d-air.

[Tenki]

So, I'm pretty sure most of you are familiar with this:

you jump/double jump, you spring, you D-air, and then you start a B-air while you're falling.

But oops, you hit the ground before anything comes out! How useless!

The only way you can possible use D-air and a non D-air aerial completely is to be hit up high in the air, or do a planted spring > aerial spring.


But there's this little known tidbit about D-air and it's faster-than-Pikachu-lightning fall speed.

If you fastfall, you slow down.


Yes, if you fastfall, you slow down.

Fastfalling gives you constant fall speed, so if you complete a D-air and want a more manageable post-D-air movement, just tap down as it finishes.

So...

Double jump > Spring > D-air > fastfall...
...B-air (can come out completely at around or higher than sh height)
...U-air (can be completed so you get lagless landing)
...F-air (can finish the attacking part, but gives you laggy landing)
...N-air (is N-air)

weird.

Also, DJ > spring > D-air (brake) > lagless U-air2 (hits grounded people) also sets up for things like FH B-air at certain %'s.

I've known about the slowing down thing for a while, but I never thought about using it to make aerials out of D-air actually doable until earlier today. lol.

Nice find Tenki. I'm going to try this out now.

 

[Nibbles 2]

Ooh, that's interesting. Didn't know about that, thanks.

 

[Jim Morrison]

To training mode!

I would like to tell everybody, that you can now actually prevent some of your accidental deaths with this.

Though you'll have to be about as far from the edge to the first point on Final D, any closer and you still will plummet to your death. You also need to have double-jumped and fast-falled that mess or you will still kill yourself even if you are far enough to land on the stage/stage the ledge.

I still love my blazing Dairs to zomg first hit Nair XD

This is interesting though, something I will definitely look into. The only other way I was able to perform a Bair after a spring was if someone already knocked me up there to begin with ^_^

Which is totally awesome though, cuz on Halberd I got sent up close to the blastzone, lived, sprung>dair and I was high enough that by the time I came down, I was right next to the spring. It resulted in a Lucario getting hit from spring, into my bair, and into the last hit of the Halberd laser (can't SDI that, lmao) and him dieing...gg

this is amazing lol

so is the OP. Great find Tenkiz, thanx!!

Sonic Orochi wins the cool prize!!

 

[Camalange]

lol spring

I usually just Dairdairdair XD
Even when Sonic Orochi dies, he makes impressive returns ^_^

 

[Boxob.]

Great stuff.

Although, If you do SideB Jump to double jump to spring, you still get the bair out.

Boxdiiiiiiiiiiive.

 

[Jim Morrison]

So I've used this in matches.

And it works awesome, no one expects it.

 

[Kinzer]

That's 'cause it's probably not been utilized... ever...

And here I thought we were pretty much set in stone, Tenki goes and finds a way to make Spring (moar!) awesome.

 

[Poltergust]

Wait... you guys didn't know that if you fast-fall after a d-air you'd slow down and that you can do your aerials out of it?

I've unwittingly withheld information like this for months? Darn. I want to be someone who discovered something new. >_<

on a more related note,
anyone remember when I was like "OMG GUIZE I JUST DID A TRIPLE AERIAL COMBO WITH SONIC!"

I was about to call it S-cancelling but Brawl hackers released their S-cancel the same week lol.

SH F-air (cancel on spring before last hit) > D-air on spring (hit them on ground) > B-air (hit them after D-air)

Wait... you guys didn't know that if you fast-fall after a d-air you'd slow down and that you can do your aerials out of it?

Well, I knew that if you fastfell after a D-air you'd slow down. But it wasn't really brought up to be used deliberately for the purpose of using aerials out of D-air until now X.x;

 

[Poltergust]

Well, that's what I thought. I was just fooling around with Sonic once and pulled this off and said, "Wow, this is really cool! But by this point the Sonic boards would have found this out..."

Guess I was wrong. =_=;

When I first did it, I thought "This is cool! Now I can keep myself from suiciding off-stage with D-air!"

then I realized I just needed to D-air better and problem solved, and it never came back up again til now.
