I've recently been experimenting with using the first part of up-air to combo. If you don't know, the there are two kicks when performing an up-air. The 1st kick has a small, set knockback. And the 2nd is obviously the stronger, more powerful attack. I use it during mid to high percents, and usually from a fast falled full or double jump. Now because of the set knock back, i find comboing out of this to be very easy. If I land and their behind me, I usually up-tilt. If i land and their in front of me, well, I usually either look for a way to combo or simply up-smash them. Of course you could simply crouch cancel this or whatever, but like all moves it shouldn't be abused. I am curious as to what everybody's thoughts on this technique are and would like input from ppl, especially those who might already use this.

its useless, because you have many more options, especially the much much higher priority dair when coming down...it sure looks and sounds flashy though..

Sometimes i use it along with an usmash...

i don't use this often, as its effectiveness is still undetermined. But it looks very nice coupled with up-tilt or up-smash, and as we all know flashyness ftw.
