I need hep
Aight so for this one, falling Uair to Fair spike doesn't come up as true on Training unless you're frame perfect but it IS true, they can't airdodge (unless they're Bayo). Depending on how many hits of Uair you get, you can get different followups on the third falling Uair;
No Double Hit Uairs:
Uair to Uair
One Double Hit Uair:
Uair to DJ FF AC FAir to Nair to Dair to USmash (Won't kill)
Two Double HIt Uairs:
Uair to DJ FF AC FAir to Nair to Dair to USmash (Kills)
Three Double Hit Uairs:
Uair to DJ FF AC FAir to Nair to USmash (Kills)
I go for two double hits as the second Uair to FS can be hard to get if it's a double hit as it launches further. You can also choose to do Nair to FS etc. after the Fair FS but that requires frame cancelling which is hard as fuck.
Full inputs:
FH AC Dair to FS to Early Nair Lock x3 to Falling Double Hit Uair to FS to Late Nair Lock to Falling Single Hit Uair to FS to Late Nair Lock to Double Hit Uair to DJ AC FF Fair to FS to Early Nair to SH FF Dair to USmash

I originally started making a second video about Down Air but the script was so long that I decided to condense it to just a video about footstool setups. I dont believe Ive missed out on any combo routes but if I have, dont hesitate to say. I hope you enjoy and learn something =]

Falling Up Air to Up Air takes 35 frames of hitstun whereas Up Air to Footstool takes 36. This means that its better to use Up Air to Up Air against heavies early on if you decide to go that combo route. If you want to know more about the other combos, check the description of the other video I uploaded.
