Dair into Fair

I know I sound like a scrub here and I know all of you are saying "JUST DI OUT OF IT!!" but honestly Dair just gets me every single time thus once I get hit by the Dair, it basically guarantees a Fair. My friend loves short hop aerialing with falcon and then he just mindlessly throws out Dairs until I get hit by one and boom dead. Just enlighten me a bit guys.

The stomp hitbox comes out on frame 16. If he really is just mindlessly throwing them out and you can tell when he's about to do it, you can stuff his approach before he even gets the hitbox out.

Teching his dair when it hits you also at least puts you into a techchase situation instead of a 'guaranteed fair'.

DIing Falcon's Dair is probably not the easiest/best thing to do. With high percent he should still be able to get the Fair follow up even if you DI. Like Manaconda said you can just jump up in the air and hit him before he can get his Dair out. As Ness I feel this is a great option especially with Fair. The good thing about challenging him in the air is that he won't get the fair follow up if he does hit you. Another option is to just shield it. The only thing you need to be careful about shielding is that he can L-cancel his Dair and follow up with a gentleman and that should be safe on shield and you won't be able to shield grab. However, if he's not doing that you should just shield and get the grab.
