How to use "Gravity-cancelling" correctly

This guide will teach you the basic mechanic of "gravity-canceling" (attacking in mid-air)

Gravity-Cancel advantages

Gravity-canceling allows you to perform a signature in mid-air (anywhere that is not ground does not allow you to do it!)

Pros/Positives

+You will have more range and mobility in the arena by having more places to do a light attack or signature

+You can taunt in mid-air! (doubles the salt)

+You can do a sig that counters a spammer's sig (if that spammer's sig hits you then you're screwed

+You look like a master to TIn and Silver ranked players

♥♥♥♥/Negatives

-If this is done too much, the other player will start to catch on and predict what you're doing and maybe even counter your gravity-cancel with a sig!

-You might be in plain range for the enemy to just throw a bomb at you

-Doing this on the edge might give the opponent a chance for them to ground pound you into the void

How to Gravity-cancel

If you are a new player and you do not know how to do a successful Gravity-cancel heres how:

Step 1: Press Dodge without moving (otherwise called a spot dodge)


Step 2: Now do a Light Attack/Heavy Attack (Signature)/Taunt as if you are on the ground


Step 3: Congratulations, you can do a gravity-cancel now. Now keep practicing so you dont mess it up in real matches!

Suitable use for it

Now you can't just go around gravity-cancelling every single signature in your arsenal
THAT would be BAD, sure it is cool to see Xull running on air or Nix rushing for a strike in mid air,
but that is technically speaking, spamming (still).

heres how you should look at gravity-cancelling:

its a 50-50
Chance of doing damage to your opponent

or

having to take damage because you did it the wrong time or your read (an attack made to hit where the opponent is going to go and not where they actually are) did horrible

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

You can guarantee a better percentage of your gravity-cancels to hit if you combine your combos with your gravity cancels,

like on Queen Nai's Spear: Side Light > Down Light > Gravity-cancelled Neutral Signature
(of course this is just an example, but you're going to have to experiment if you want something to work a lot!)

Conclusion

Congratulations! you are use to performing Gravity-Cancelling! (unless you are still reading this)

Now practice and learn more new combos with the miracle of Gravity-Cancelling!
