dAir Rehab :(

[TK421]

I was playing tonight with friends and I noticed that 2 out of the 5 stocks I played with were wasted trying to gimp my friends, granted like 75% of my dAirs landed, but I still feel uncertain while using it, does anyone have any tips on using it less or setting it up better?

Yours Truely.

[VietGeek]

Don't try to gimp them. <_<

High-risk-high-reward = not worth it.

You're better off killing them normally. Safer for you, as there's no way to really improve your chances of landing Dair.

Only try if it's EXTREMELY obvious you will hit. You need no rehab. Really you're asking for us to tell you not to Dair by posting this, lol.

[sasukebowser]

Use Dair near the edge of the level when they're grabbing onto the ledge.
Thats a little safer at least.
At least you don't kill yourself or anything.

You can throw a bomb at them and then spike, but unless you are going to hit 100% of the time, don't use it

footstool -> dair offstage onlyyyyyyyy

Cereally...

[urdailywater]

I find it so hard to footstool jump. =/

I don't know just every time I try it I fail miserably unless it's by accident. But yah, FS to Dair works well.

Learning to effectively Dair is a good investment. Take my word from a guys who's been meteor smashing with people like a pro since his days in Meele playing as marth, don't worry if you die trying to Dair. I stoppped worrying, the more you do it(wether you succeed or fail) the better you'll get. Eventually you'll learn to use it the best way possible like when you jump right by them and use it. Though if you really want to be a dare devil, use it from above them at a distance that you know they could air dodge or easily avoid it. lol yesterday I accidentally did that on Sauske, but unfortunatly, the Dair didn't spike. ><

Me too :D Sasuke was at a high %, and already going to die, so my DAir sent him upwards at an angle and stagespiked him on the bottom of Smashville ^_______^

If you're going to use it offstage, at least follow a few guidelines:
1. Never do it on your last stock
2. Only try it if you're at a high % and they're low %. NEVER do it when they're near KO range for regular KO moves.
3. Wifi sucks.

I should have teched and Ganoncided. D=
Dumb Sasuke.

I use dair nonstop. It makes brawl fun. I'ma release a video soon on some great setups.

[sasukebowser]

Footstool, bombs, and boomerang are the only logical setups for Dair.
Everything else is just random coincidental stuff.

[Alzi]

I love using Dair but i only proberly use it offstage once every 4 matches i have. Just try use it only once offstage in a match.

[TLMarth]

Either footstool dair, bomb dair, or don't dair at all and just spam projectiles

[TLMSheikant]

Only dair against specific matchups. Like against falco fire, fox fire, dk's predictable upB, diddy kong if he is below u and charging his upB, bowser's upB and wario's upB (it doesnt sweetspot). Against wario just wait for him in the edge dont go offstage. Against others just dont use dair. Against smart oponents u will sefdestruct because their is something called airdodging.

[TheJerm]

Yea, I agree with TLM. Also, I usually dair has a mind game when I have a nice stock lead and i'm already at high percentage. But there still not random dairs thrown out there.

[Barge]

You can easily dair bowsers/DKs/falcos/foxs/link/ganon's recovery

[vbdood1337]

Don't forget Wario and Diddy.

Sorry, I forgot I posted this thread. Rofl. But yeah, the friend I was spiking was either footstooled into a forced barrel rocket into a dAIR or just a straight dAir at his recovery, he was nerd raging pretty hard.

You guys don't know how much I appreciate the advice, seriously. IlyTLboard<3

L O L :) My friends nerd rage every time I spike them.

[Cloud Cleaver]

Either wait until they enter an animation that won't let them dodge it (usually an up-B), or hover over them so they dodge, then dair as the dodge ends. Alternately, you can use the edge-dair method, but it's fairly limited as far as KO amounts go. You can also just use it as a mindgame for other moves, too. Hover over them so they think you're going to dair, wait for the dodge, then fall and fair them off the side instead. :D
