U-airs

[J_Noodles]

Does anyone know by any chance how well-known falcon players execute u-airs? Like Hax's uairs seem to come out so much faster than everyone else. Do they use the z-button, control stick or c-stick.

First they jump, and then they use up+a.

Do you mean in response to the opponent, or in a combo or?

I remember Hax saying in a thread he used c stick for aerials.

However, if I want to one of those rising u-airs and descending u-airs, I'll try and use the slide Y --> A method, because you can catch it on the rise so much easier than moving to the c-stick.

I use Y --> hold up lightly + A when I want to up-air is soon as possible

otherwise i use c-stick

Like in the u-throw to u-air combo on marth above 30%. Do you need to use a rising u-air if he DI's away? I usually get faired out of the combo when I use the c-stick.

Also, I assume Hax uses a really fast uair around 0:25 to complete the combo. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTIoDVfh-Gg

That didn't look weird to me. At his fastest air move to active Uair comes out in 6 frames and add in I think Falcon's 7 frames of jump animation that means uair can potentially have active frames in as little as 13/60th of a second from standing. Just slightly over a 5th of a second which is not very fast as far as fighting games go.
