What's good after a utilt?

[Fizzle]

I was playing a friend of mine today, and I found it hard to keep the combo going after using a utilt. I'll usually spam utilt a couple more times, but it doesn't seem like it has enough hitstun to tilt lock (like Sheik's ftilt). What do you guys use after one? SH nair works well for me, but that doesn't follow up very nicely either.

Utilt out of shield is godly, btw. It comes out extremely fast in back of you, and I was even able to kill with it at high percents.

I like to get under one of Luigi's Mansion's roofs, and u-tilt my opponent over and over into the ceiling. That works for at least three consecutive hits.

Don't know much about using it for combos, though.

i like to follow a Utilt with a Usmash, Nair or Uair

Like samuelson said, Nair and Uair are good. If they are at low enough percentage when you are done with them and get lucky with the DI i've even been able to go into a Fair combo. Racked up 80% instantly on one of my friends the other night.

Another one. =D

utilt and almost any aerial as long as they are high enough :/

If they are out of range for another Utilt/Usmash then any aerial would do really, except a Nair or Fair would probably be best of you are trying to combo them further more.

U-tilt to jab works at lower percents, which can theoretically lead to FP.

U-tilt to sh retreating n-air is still my favorite, though.

I usually tend to follow one with either another u-tilt or u-air.

It honestly depends who you're playing and what character they're using. If they're trying to attack you out of the utilts, then I'll shield and grab/jab them after. If they try using their midair to get away, then I'll follow with fair/nair/uair, depend where they're DIing to. If they use their midair and simutaneously try dairing you thinking you're attempting to follow them, then that's where your utilt potential ends and you start a new approach, or if they're predictable with it, then bait the dair and punish afterwards.

 

[D. Disciple]

Another one. =D

I was going to say the same thing.

But if you also like to incorporate this, depends on spacing.

Fair-Nair-Utilt

You can put in another utilt, or carry them off the stage into fair-nair chains then WOP them with Fairs.

 

[Fizzle]

Yeah, like I said, I almost always throw in another utilt, but I often find them breaking out rather easily with an aerial or airdodge. Maybe I'm not doing it fast enough? Do you guys have this problem, too? I mean, to me it seems like just about anybody can break out of a utilt chain - Snake, Marth, Pika, Olimar, etc - even at low percents.

I think I'll go with what Timbers said and just react to their move and try to punish accordingly. Lucario doesn't seem to have the best out of shield options, though. When they're close in I'll shield grab or drop shield jab-jab-whatever. But, particularly with Olimar and Marth, I have difficulty punishing their quick long-ranged smashes and aerials if they space well. Olimar is too short for a fair oos to hit, and Marth can break out of my string with a quick upb.

I sometimes like to wait for their air dodge and just grab them when they reach the ground. fair is good too, and can easily counter an airdodge with a d/nair since fair is quick.

If you are playing a character like G&W you may want to space yourself out of the reach of his Dair(or any aerial you suspect to out prioritize your Fair,Nair or Uair) and go for a Bair, or just stay there and wait on the ground so you can shield grab them. It usually works with fast fallers(or Dairing G&Ws >_>) That is assuming they perform an aerial instead of jumping away...
