Worthless D-air

[ZIngaZ]

As far as I can tell it does absolutely nothing besides making her foot shine. I'm correct in thinking its absolutely useless?

 

[Ziodyne]

it is a meteor smash with absurdly small range and power. it can barely hit anyone and when it does hit, it barely sends them down at all. so yeah, it is pretty dam useless as far as i can tell

 

[Dark Lady]

It still can gimp a readable recovery. It's not the BEST tool, but it still is -A- tool

 

[TheLake]

Nothing in life is worthless

as things have purpose in the great circle of life

Present each character in melee as an individual circle

Live and define.

Invent and transform.

Dair is awsome at higher percents you can shield poke dair to down smash or upsmash

deceptivly good against floaties

also it absolutely destroys characters with horizontal based recoveries (use it on bowser and dk and you will see what I mean)

Admist the cloud of hoplesssness

Oh Lake, teach me your ways in the power of Zelda! :O
-----------------

In all seriousness, I got quite a few friendlies in, and my Zelda got more deadly, dair included. I have spacies scared of my heels and asking "Why is Zelda so good?"
I take back what I said about dair, it's not worthless. I'm just gonna list it as my least used aerial.

Nayru's love edgeguard > Dair is OP on spacies, and oh so stylish too.

 

[Griffard]

I can't believe one would think d-air is useless..

I love getting d-air to instant KIYICK on the slightly stunned and suddenly grounded opponent. (esp. fast fallers???)

Offstage swag for sure. AS IF Zelda needed more right ladies**?

 

[Zone]

You can get like 3 D-dairs on a space animal and still make it back in... that's like 2 more than what falcon can do with his down air.

Plus it can hit Samus out of her Up+B kind of easily.

Pssh that'll never work on me!

Despite trying many times, I don't know if I've ever got this. I have gotten dthrow Nayru's tho.

I have no AR or too much knowledge but I think if I fast fall and l-cancel quick enough I can get dair -> grab if the character is at a percent where they do the grounded stun animation

 

[CAUP]

This is a real combo I'm pretty sure. The opponent can get knocked into spike stun. I think Magus had a super in depth post about it a long time ago.

You talking about this post?

I did some skimming because I have to do something else right now but if you say it's from here I'll read up on it when I can

 

[CAUP]

It's probably somewhere in there, I don't remember for sure.

 

[ordinary]

only skimmed the post since you weren't sure (also ctrl-f'd "dair", "d-air" and "down air") and that post definitely doesn't talk about it.
When you remember let me know
