More people need to know this. I know this used to cause me a lot of suicides when I was relatively new to the game. =/

When you do for a Dsmash gimp at the edge, it's always the worst when it buffers into a Dair and you end up dying.


The way to prevent this is:
LET GO OF THE C-STICK AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND HIT "A".

This will cause the Dsmash to buffer into a Nair if it was shielded. ^_^

This means:
-No insta-death
-The enemy's shield gets depleted a little more

I learned something new.

*how to not buffer jab/ftilt into nair/fair and kill myself*

Press back+A ASAP.

Thank you my love.

EDIT:
This thread just made all of you guys cool. For once you found something that I didn't know months beforehand.

Ooh I agree with this, except for Ike because Snake is a crappy character.

And perhaps I might even prevent intended grab-dthrows with Kirby becoming fastfalled nairs offstage to my death by hitting back on the c-stick as well. o_o
