So the other day I was messing around with short hop nairs with Z. I noticed that if you do a late aerial with z, it auto L cancels for you.
I haven't seen anything on this and so I did some testing.
As it turns out (and this is a no brain-er), you have to use the aerial within 7 frames before landing. This is due to the l cancel's timing. (duh)

This is important because when you hit another character or their shield the hit lag delays you from touching the ground causing you to miss your L cancel. So all in all the tech is mostly useless (sorta). You can still L cancel as normal, or you can spam Z.

My initial thoughts were that you could do some easy(er) nair shines, or get some easier platform cancels. This can still be sort of true if you use z to attack and L cancel, but that's really it.
TLDR;
Z-airs auto L cancel unless you hit something, so it's pretty much useless unless you spam z.
