After seeing the new uair -> ftilt tilted down by _________ it inspired me to try out some more uair -> stuff combos. It's amazing what you can pull off:
1. Uair -> Nair
- I love this. You uair and then buffer the jump to nair (it's like you roll your thumb off of Y to A). It comes out very fast and helps you space well because you can nair and then move backwards from it.
2. Uair -> Utilt
- A little hard to pull off and dangerous because the opponent might be able to shield if they are at low percentages. I pull this off by uairing and while I land I'm still holding up. Then I mash on the cstick up and it pulls the utilt out as soon as possible.
3. Uair -> Jabs
- Fun.
But my favorite and I think a great positive step in the right direction for Samus' metagame:
4. Uair -> Forward Smash (tilted up)
- It's ridiculously close to a frame trap (not a combo, but very very close). What's awesome is when you hit them with the uair, if at the right percentage you have a perfect KO setup, because Fsmash tilted up kills very fast... as good as a plasma shot.
If this isn't new (especially #4), I'm sorry. But #4 I haven't seen used and it's real nice. Only problem I have is I sometimes jump (because I'm holding up) rather than tilt stuff. Bu tthe KOs are great. Any thoughts?
