Assignment 20- Jasir Rahman- How to do Pikachu's nair loops

1.  Acquire a Nintendo Switch and a copy of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
2.  Insert the cartridge into the Switch.
3.  Go into Games and More, then within that menu select Training mode.
4.  Select any stage, preferably the Training stage.
5. Select Pikachu (preferably with the green bandana, purely aesthetic but it's the coolest skin) as your character and any random character (preferably a large character so it is easy to combo) as an opponent.  Press start.
5.  Now for the combo itself.  Depending on your controller setup it will be different.  I personally have a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller, don't use tilt stick, press both the X and Y buttons at the same time to short-hop, press A for aerials, have grab configured to my shoulder buttons, and have tap jump disabled.  Grab your opponent.
6.  Flick down on your left stick.
7.  Press X and Y at the same time (or alternatively press x really fast, a lot more difficult) to short-hop.
8.  Wait until you are at the peak of Pikachu's short-hop and then press A without holding the stick in any direction to perform a neutral aerial attack (also known as nair).  You will know you are doing it right if Pikachu's body is engulfed in lightning.
9.  Let the nair hit the opponent 2 times, and then on the third, it flick your left control stick down in order to make Pikachu fast fall.  This should make the opponent fall out of hit stun (they won't take more damage as they fall) and drag them down to the floor with you.
10.  Hold the left stick upwards and press A in order to perform an up-tilt.  It should flick up the opponent with Pikachu's tail.
11.  Repeat steps 9 and 10.  You may have to react to the way your opponent moves as you hit them and jump slightly to the right or left depending on their directional influence (also known as DI, if your opponent holds a certain direction on their left stick it influences the direction in which they travel, helps to fall out of combos such as this).  This combo is quite technically advanced but will net you upwards of 80% damage if done correctly.  It only works at lower percents (0-20%) for light characters, but for heavies can work at later percents (20-40%).
