The L-Cancel of Dair

[Swiss Falco]

When exactly do I must L-Cancel by a dair into a shield? The opponent is always faster than me. Is it at an other time, than he doesn't shield? And is it at an other time when it's a FJdair or a shffld?

FJdair and shffld dair should have the same exact timing for L-Cancel. It doesn't matter which it is.

There is a slight difference in timing of L-Cancelling when the opponent isn't shielding and when he is. When it comes down to it though, L-Cancelling is the same for both; you hit L or R as soon as you hit the ground with the aerial, no shield or not.

That being said, when you shuffle into a shield, you would L-Cancel slightly later because of the shield stun. With smaller characters like jiggs or pichu, it's a lot easier to l-cancel against then say, mewtwo. Mewtwo's taller and has a bigger shield, thus, you hitting the shield earlier and being easier to be shield grabbed.
