Uair is good for getting out of multi-hit stuff!

If you smash DI towards a person in certain multi hit stuff (i.e. samus' up b, falco's jab combo) The uair comes out so fast where his feet are so it's fast enough to get out of that stuff.

So say falco is jabbing you, you DI towards his face with the c-stick and then uair him. Simple, but effective. Just keep it in mind, there's alot of stuff but I'm not ready to make a complete list yet.

Stuff this works on:

Samus' up b

Falco's jab combo

Rob's utilt lock (2-3 utilts, not really a lock)

Peach's dair (hold up and mash up on the c-stick as fast as possible)

Sheik's ftilt lock (DI up and a little bit towards her face)

Sheik's jab combo (sometimes, when you are caught a little bit above ground it's only possible that way)

Falco's cg (no, it doesn't break it, but if he isn't frame perfect he will take the damage but the grab still works)

Marth's dancing blade green finisher (on the last hit, if it is the green swords flurry then you can DI up and keep trying to uair and it will hit his face)

Dedede's dair

Diddy's jab combo

Pikachu's fair They cannot combo autocanceled fairs into dsmashes, or utilts, or usmashes because of this. Just sdi up and uair, really easy.

Toon link's jab combo (needs serious practicing before you can rely on it)

Ness's Jab combo

Ike's jab cancels (only if he hesitates otherwise it will not work)

Game and watch's turtle (With fair, not uair. I'll put this in anyway. If he SH's the turtle SDI upwards and hit him with the forward aerial during his landing lag. If he spaces it perfectly away it most likely won't work, but if he goes and breaks into your shield and is within fair range it definitely will.)

Captain falcon's jab combo

Mach tornado (Don't get excited, it's like a 10% chance it will work because you have to be in the exact precise position for the toes to hit meta's head, you should smash DI up when you're caught in the whorenado in the first place but it's nice to know there is a very minor chance you can uair out of it anyway.)

Snake's nair (You can't technically uair out of it, but if you DI out of the nair towards his body first--which is very difficult to do--you can uair him once you're free of the kicks. It's very difficult, I wouldn't rely on it but sometimes there's no point in not trying)

Rob's dsmash (not by the uair, if you DI it you can quickly reverse utilt and get a free hit, he cannot do anything about it, just hold up right when the dsmash hits, the reverse utilt seems to come out naturally for me I don't have to turn or anything consiously.)

Fox's jab combo

More to add when I find some more stuff if can think of something please let me know and i'll test it

Are you saying you can Up-tilt out Falco's jabs or Up-air ? Which one? Although I prefer to Up-B out of multi hit moves, this is a good find. More options are always better ;)

What? I mean the uair, diddy's toes hit him in the beak if you DI towards his face, or other AAA combo ppl's faces.

It's actually really good against falco, you can uair him without barely taking any damage

How can you get out of Samus' upB? I can never do that =\
Do you have to just hold up and mash A over and over until you hit her? Or do you need to DI somewhere too?

Hold up with control stick, mash c-stick up. I think it works around 30-40. Either way I DI it alot, new things to add to the list.

If anyone has a ROB friend, please see if you can DI regularly out of the downsmash into an immediate uair and see if it hits him

Ah thanks, I hope it works, Samus' upB get's really annoying because of it's priority and that I could never get out of it =/

If you could get out of ROBs dsmash and hit him with an uair... wow, that would be awesome! O_O

So, I feel like an idiot, but I found out just last weekend that U-tilt ***** MK's D-air.

Does this work against Pit's jabs?

I was thinking this, but then I thought that if you smash DI'd it it would just send you flying all over like it always does, i'll have to try this out. Btw utilt is ****, utilt utilt to usmash works on all characters at 0ish percent

I'm actually wondering if the uair can help you break out of falco's chaingrab after 25ish since diddy can only be chaingrabbed to that percent, but it's hard to DI out of the cg even after 25

Pika's D-smash just DI into pika and up. Since the DI pulls you into pika, the momentum from that + the DI should throw you out on the opposite side.

king d3's dair and diddy's own jab combo can both be uair'd out of, nice to know because d3's sometimes spam dair to evade the nanerz. I highlighted what I thought was most useful for this in red on the list, please you guys help me test more stuff this could turn out to be really useful!

YOU CAN ALSO REVERSE UTILT OUT OF ROB'S DSMASH AT LOW PERCENTS AFTER IT'S BEEN DI'D!!!

Out of some random occurance I uair'd the mach tornado but I'm thinking that it's too situational to recreate, I couldn't get it to repeat.

Wouldn't you get less percent takin off of you if you just DI'd AWAY rather than into and up airing? I would rather take less percents than take more and land an up air.

Of what? You uair out of falco's jab almost instantly if DI'd with good reaction time. Id rather get a free hit than just take the plain damage and get nothing out of it. You shouldn't be taking more damage trying to uair them, than its just not worth it or you are DI'ing wrong. Everything I have listed is where the uair is basically worth trying to get.

thank you for taking the time to read this, nobody else cares until I actually find some really good stuff. it's hard to test this with nobody around so I rarely find new things. Btw I wanted to ask you why you find yoshi's island so good, as i need a new stage along with smashville for my next tourney that I can **** in.

As long as the damage trade is in your advantage, then that's fine. I haven't tested or tried it yet because I don't have time nor the people to play, but hopefully you're right.

Hm I tried to do it right now (to get out of Falcos jabs), but it doesn't work. Well, it worked once, but sometimes I DId too much and was too high to hit him... and I always take 10+ damage so I won't do it because uair only does 11...

Yoshi Story is easily my favorite Diddy stage for so0o many reasons, I wouldn't even know where to start. But if you need another counter pick stage for Diddy then go with NL advice and choose Pokemon Stadium. Its about as long as Final Destiantion and the platforms are not that bothersome for linear banana game play :)

uair is too good out of jabs, if u hit them u can always follow up with another attack. plus if u di out of the smash you leave yourself open to be grabed or attacked.

btw this shuld be tested on kirby, ike and c falcon

oh yeah i forgot to add falcon it also works on him... I have some newer ones, there's like a minor % chance of uair'ing out of the mach tornado but who cares, you just smash DI up anyway lol

It's possible to uair snake's nair while you are DI'ing through his body, but it's nothing that the uair actually breaks you have to DI out of the nair first before you can uair him. Just some rare things that i'll list anyway.

i believe ike's jabs have too much stun, but ill give it a shot.

I'm curious about the turtle as well, I tried it and it worked once but it may have been because it was on a slant on the RC ship. Anyway if falco isn't frame perfect with his cg the later throws (around 25ish percent) can be uair'd, he will take the damage but it won't break the grab.

Diddy can uair out of peach's dair! If she is steady for example, floating for instance just hold up and keep hitting c-stick up as fast as possible. You will smash DI the hits and hit her in the face with a uair.

Adding as mental notes for myself: Ike's jab cancels, toon link's jab I uair'd once maybe it was a fluke, and G&W's turtle.
