Reverse Aerial Rushing

 Reverse aerial rushing, or RARing, refers to performing a backwards air attack with forward momentum. RARing is performed while dashing or running forward and then, just before jumping, briefly tapping the opposite direction on the control stick. This tap in the opposite direction before the jump will allow your character to continue to move in the forward direction of the run while facing the reverse direction in the air. This technique is commonly used in conjunction with short-hopped air attacks. With some characters, such as Ike, RARing can be particularly vital because it allows his B-Air to be used for approaching, instead of attacks like his F-Air, which have considerable landing lag. RARing can be great for spacing too, letting you throw out quick B-Airs to keep the opponent at bay. |
