Two quick questions

[chic]

Ok I have two quick questions, one about the nair and the the other about back flipping.

First i'll start with the nair. I've noticed that sometimes when i hit a guy whos on the ground i'm fighting by doing a fast fall nair he sometimes goes flying up really high and other times he doesn't and this is at the same percentages... Why is this?

Now about the back flipping....I don't know how to do a short backflip consistently. Most of the times when I try Luigi does the high backflip, even when I do a short-hop. The only times i'm able to do the short backflip is by random. How do i do it all the time?

Thanks alot....

I don't think the nAir's properties have been fully explained. My theory is that the nAir is powerful at the start, and then normal for the rest of the animation. But it's only my theory.

As for the second quick question, I can't be much help; I tap jump. Someone else will probably get that one too.

Neutral air is only strong for the first few frames then it becomes incredibly weak.

N-Air

Total: 45
Hit: 3-31 (Strong 3-6; Weak 7-31)

According to Magus' frame data. The move lasts 45 frames. It's strong during frames 3-6 and weak during 7-31.

U-Air

Total: 33
Hit: 5-11 (Strong 5-7; Weak 8-11)

B-Air

Total: 46
Hit: 6-16 (Strong 6-10; Weak 11-16)

Luigi's up and back air are the same. You have to hit it early for it to be strong.

Is it true the tip of the boot is stronger?

Should be in the Q&A section. Nair works as a combo starter at low %s and kills at very moderate to high %s later on. The hitbox (which kills) is around the first couple of frames if i recall. It works like GaWs Fair. The longer its out the weaker it gets when the animation ends
