Reverse Uairs

[Matador]

Use them. Better than normal Uairs in nearly every way. MUCH better for edgeguarding, more range, and a good combo starter. Reverse Uair < Bair or Bair < Reverse Uair are epic. Reverse Uairs just can't really chain together like normal Uairs. Both are just too sexy tho.
Vids of usage later.

i only use them when im edge gaurding....i think

[Takeshi245]

I've already known about this. Some people don't expect you to use it for edgeguarding so it can be good as a surprise attack sometimes. It's sweet. :)

[Matador]

Puts you in a better position for follow-ups as well. Reverse Uair -> grab is too good.

The knockback is lovely at higher % too.. If this could be done from capeglide....*orgasm*

[BoTastic!]

Reverse Uair>reverse Usmash works well on low %

[hippiedude92]

Agreed. You can string them much easier. Works kewlz too if their on a platform

[A2ZOMG]

Reverse U-air is a good combo starter for some things at the right percents.

Reverse U-air -> Grab, F-tilt, or Up-B is useful

[Matador]

Reverse U-air -> Grab How I usually start off picking apart an opponent's stock.

Doesn't his Uair have a sweetspot or something when his legs are pointing straight up?

Doesn't his Uair have a sweetspot or something when his legs are pointing straight up?Mario's U-air deals the exact same damage on the entire part of the attack. I don't think the power changes at all.

Luigi's U-air on the other hand is less powerful on the reverse side.

K, but it still has a pretty nasty knockback trajectory though. Worth using? I'd say maybe.

i tested the use of the reverse up air, and its nice. i can combo easily but i dont find the range of the reversed up air is that far. Don't rely on this but it's good to use.

I knew reverse Uairs were sexy before ganon players in Melee

Yesterday in Luigi dittos....I did Uair->Up-B....it was sexy and the two best Luigi mains in FL just looked at me like "What the hell did you just do"




and I love your sig

[mario brawler]

but dont reverse U-airs have less knockback?

[BoTastic!]

No they have more knock back i think.

[Lex Crunch]

I actually use them quite often to kill while chasing a recovering opponent. Far easier to hit with than b-air, and in most cases, far more effective.

[Griffard]

I use these a lot, great for edgeguarding and chasing in the air
