I've been having trouble comboing from the uair to the knee like how ss and darkrain can. my knee always seems to come out too late. i've only managed to make it connect like, maybe 25% of the time. probably less than that. is there some cue to look out for to press the button? like right when the electricity sparks, or how far away i should start the knee?

thanks. first post btw.

try doing the knee with the c-stick and then forward A, see which one you do faster, and then it just comes down to practice.

good luck:)

Dude, just practice. If anything, go to slow mo and figure out the timing. All it takes is practice. Then you'll be finishing your Uair combos 95% of the time :chuckle:

It depends on who your playing against and their DI, but fast fallers they need to be above 60% .
But you shouldn't just always go into a knee, read their DI and pay attention to their %.
I know Marth & Sheik you can always get with this at 70-95%. But I don't really know the specifics for every character you just kinda need to feel it out. It does really work on Floaties, go for a d-throw knee instead..

Edit oops... read the post wrong.... ummm I dont know the specifics for Uair to Fair. You just need to feel it out =P.

I have played this game for a year now, my most consistent practice partner is Pakman, a Luigi main. I became a pretty well-known/respected CF player after about 8 months of playing the game. It wasn't until 10 months that I could combo him consistently.

Don't get discouraged, keep at it and you'll just get faster. The reason you aren't hitting it is your timing, you're just not fast enough yet.

Also, if you're not fastfalling, sometimes you need to uair>fastfall>DJ knee.

Yea I'm having some problems doing it myself but the few times I've done it I use c-stick for the uair to make sure I don't waste my jump, and knee with the control stick. That seems to work for me assuming your comfortable enough jumping from c-stick to "Y" to "A" like that.
