Spurashing with dair

[GS3K]

Here's some weird short hop fastfall dair trick.

The last hit on Dair that makes the shockwave as you drop can still damage and knock your opponent back if you're close enough.

At low percents or against heavy characters (or both), you can string together a few dairs and/or follow up with an attack. At higher percents (around the 30-50% mark) this will push the opponent back further

Take a look at the gif:

An easy way to do this is to have a button mapped to jumping (quick tap of the X or Y button to short hop) lightly tilt the control stick towards the opponent, then tap and hold the right/c-stick downwards in midair. Rinse repeat.

The name has to do with the shockwave effect that your opponent and dair have when hitting the ground, creating a splash of sorts. This is best used occasionally as a punish on a whiffed attack, and can be done out of an airdodge at normal jump heights.

Oh wow I'm going to try to incorporate this into my gameplay, I never really used d-air much. In general I need to do more Mii Swordsfighter research o.o

Something I forgot to mention: Only try to go for one or two at a time if you decide to do this.

And I assume this only works at lower percents?

EDIT: Nvm I'm stupid, I read your post fully this time... Playing a game and reading stuff at the same time is bound to make me not pay attention to everything

You can do this at any percent. Trying to go for more than one only works at lower percents, as your opponent doesn't get sent back as far.

I sort of knew about this before but decide to punish them with SoL. I have never thought you can continuously abuse Dair's Shockwave.

"In the 'We tech those' Channel"

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. However, you can now either tech chase or follow up into other moves/attacks. For example-
If your opponent doesn't tech, you can keep Spurashing.
If your opponent does tech and stand, you can followup with a jab, upair, Gale Strike. If they shield, you grab him/her
If your opponent does tech and roll backward, you can followup with a dash attack, dash grab or SoL.
If your opponent does tech and predict roll forward, you can punish with a Stutter Fsmash or anything from above.

I'd never do this unless this game suddenly decided to have L-cancelling. Its way too punishable x.x

I think.
