Stop Falling.

[Animal]

When hit semi high in the air, obviously as the laws of smash and gravity go, we fall back down. When we land we tend to either tech or just lay there setting us up for some sort of combo. However, sometimes what i like to do is try an aerial like nair or try to laser, RIGHT before i hit the ground. Sometimes, although not every time, instead of falling the animation of a nair or a laser will come out and you wont fall. Does anyone else do this? Because i find it helpful in some situations, and i think it can potentially save you a stock depending on who you are playing.

Why not just wiggle.

im guessing thats wiggling the control stick? does that work? I guess you can, but spamming an aerial could be better if the opponent is under you/near you.

yeah its wiggling the control stick, it breaks you out of hit stun faster. some players do it very distinctly and you can hear them mash it when they get hit far away and it makes me lulz

but to break out with bair can occasionally work, ive seen shiz do it and it stops some poorly thought out follow ups

wiggling doesn't change hitstun. it simple removes you from tumble.

i like the laser/nair idea, and i've used it before. the first time i saw it done was chillindude vs samus's upb on FD. You get carried up but if you laser before you hit the ground you get a free upsmash.

thats exactly what i'm talking about

 

[BigD!!!]

yeah i do this with aerials, too lazy to wiggle

 

[RaynEX]

I do it with lasers alot. If you laser really close to the ground so he doesn't actually shoot it, **** becomes hilarious. Gets hit, tumbles, then he's just chillin' there.

Yeah, its really useful Animal.

I don't like to wiggle, unless I'm sure I'm gonna survive an attack or get out of a bad situation lol, since you have to stop DIing.

I do this pretty often, mostly against pseudo chaingrabs, or attacks like Marth's falling uair. Never thought to use it against Samus's up B, gonna have to try that lol.
