A'ight here's the dizzle. If you short hop a uair the move animation will end before you hit the ground, thus allowing a double jump. Be aware, that I use the claw method, and in order for this to be possible you have to as well, or you have to be super quick.

This has led to a lot of interesting combo's on my part, the most noteworthy is ending uair combo's directly with a knee, lightning fast!

This technique is particularly easy to continue comboing with, or in many cases, ending combo's, since the height you can is larger than a normal short hop, but lesser than a full jump.

Be aware once again, that the uair must come out as early as possible, and the jump must occur when your character is almost on the ground.

I'm still experimenting with this technique, but so far it's a promising finisher to uair combo's.

"Claw technique" refering to the position your fingers/hands are in? To perform the u-air as soon as you SH, i think you would NEED to cstick it no?

ya, but then again some people don't claw shdl... so theres gotta be a way by not clawing... which is being really fast! xD

but yeah, I claw, which means using your index finger to access the face buttons. thus, when I hit y to jump, I can flick up on the c stick with my thumb at the same time.

I don't claw
Also my combos suck and I can't do the uair trick in this post (though I can do SH Bair FH like a fiend lol but that's easy).

I know M2K claws, at least when I was actually watching his hand 2 years ago he did.
