Usefulness of Uair

Most people use fox's Uair for opponet's above them. This is high priority move as we should already know.

I been thinking and finding ways on how to use the Uair for opponets below us.
This reason being fox is a fast faller and we fall onto them while Uairing would be nice suprise.

One thing I have found most useful is the full jump the shine twice for stall and for getting the correct height then dropping in on them with a uair on a grounded opponent, depending on what you were at when you dropped and the height of your opponent is if your get one hit in or two.

In cases you could use this as a set up at higher precents use the weak hit of the uair to knock the opponent in the air or used the heavy hit of the Uair at lower precents.

I would others ideas or thoughts on this and if can advance it.

Discuss.

Yea uair has horrible lag if you don't AC it, so uair on a grounded opponent is generally not a good idea.

Probably should have metioned you better hope thier shield is down.

P.S. I've actually seen rookie get away more than 1 time with it on 1 of his most recent vids.

Falling Uair worked great in Melee, and it works decently in Brawl too. If you can get it to cross up, then you should be fine (since you'll autocancel into the back of their shield, and if you're facing away from them, just Utilt, if you're facing toward them, then you have a bevy of options.)

Hm, I've been thinking of interesting moves to use. I did do this a lot in Melee, I'll mess with it later if I remember.

Auto canceled up air on platforms is all kinda of ****.

Agreed 100%

I was pulling these off a lot at toureys and forward tilting on platforms.

I'm in the process of editing TJoe's video, and from what I've seen, I have to say U-air is an excellent cross up. People shield expecting a Dair, and when the first hit doesn't come, they get disorientated.
