Very annoying thing with Lucas tether

[CGod]

When I'm offstage, I use magnet to change my direction so I can tether but it doesn't tether instead I just airdodge and its annoying. How can I fix this

 

[KaptenFullkorn]

do an airdodge and tether immediately after

 

[R-Magic]

Yeah you can cancel air dodge with zair, so just start an air dodge then immediately input zair

 

[PKBeam]

midair, when you buffer a Zair input, it will always come out as an airdodge. like everyone else said, you can AD and cancel with Zair or you can wait out magnet lag and then Zair.

Yeah for some reason there's a window of frames after you air dodge from magnet where you CAN'T immediately tether. I've come across this, too, and thought it was weird. Although... if you're close enough to tether after magnet you're probably risking getting punished during the end lag anyway.

You can DJ and immediately after use the tether to avoid that window of frames, but be careful to don't get hit while using your DJ
