The Sephiroth Dair | How to Footstool OOS

[@shoxas]

Check out the description for more deets and words. Also, shoutouts to Ned for the inspiration.

[@bigtoblerone8446]

I watched Ned and Nairo fight Light it was really cool and yeah recently when i saw ned v light i was surprised i had not thought of this concept before Other characters too that we though had no/bad OoS may actually have one as fast as game and watch wow 😲

[@phy_]

Popped off when I saw Ned do this, glad you made this guide!

[@shoxas]

Same! Against Light, in tourney, on stream. Too hype

Lord knows I have been WAITING for you. Ever since I saw Ned do it, I kept waiting to see this pop up in my subscription box. Thank you.

This give me HEAVY Death Note vibes. I love it

Eh, I usually ignore the Footstools, but I've been mastering Perfect Shields, Shield Breaks and Meteor Smashes like crazy thanks to Sephiroth! This silver-haired man is SERIOUS BUSINESS! He is NOT here to play fun and games and that's why I love him so much! Sunday, December, 20th, 2020 was a very special night for me because I found my perfect forever main in Sephiroth after getting him as an early Christmas present after beating the Sephiroth Challenge! Sephiroth is honestly A LOT more fun than any other character I've EVER played with. Heck, I don't even play with any character or my ex-mains, ONLY Sephiroth!

[@gigaflare9710]

Once again amazing video, thank you for putting the inputs on screen Finally some good OOS options

[@Will-lh4lh]

Yep I'm sure I wasn't the only one tired of frame 12 Nair oos

[@BladePlays]

You always pick the best music

[@james2590]

I almost never leave comments, but you honestly make the best videos. You have significantly helped my sephiroth. Thank you

[@shoxas]

Appreciate the comment. Thank you for the support!

You're too kind

[@ashuri5216]

Thanks for the informative video! I watch Ned’s streams and he started labbing this not too long ago. This option really shone in his match against Light at Glitch, and I believe it’ll make opponents think twice before mashing on Sephiroth’s shield.

[@shoxas]

Agreed!

[@LtCdrXander]

Great choice of music!

[@LtCdrXander]

The song is "Liberi Fatali" by the way

[@diegods1291]

Yeeeessss saw Ned's clip yesterday and i was waiting for this, thanks man. Okay bros, its' lab time

[@drg7008]

Beautiful video !!! And the music behind. I love all your videos about Sephiroth's and cloud's techs. Thank you 🔥🔥🔥

Was expecting a video today this morning about a specific event you would’ve taken interest in. Lol

[@Xeyyakkenn]

The song gives me memories of that ancient KZbin video, “The Wrath of Giga Bowser.”

[@sauce5500]

I’ve been waiting for a video on how to do this. Good work!

[@shogunmyoung9932]

I've only heard of Ike's footstool Up b oos, but never heard of Seph footstool Dair Oos. Thank you for the information !

[@shoxas]

You’re welcome:)

[@Pslamist]

I was actually just thinking about this today. Thanks for the explanation. PS-Phantom footstools suck.

[@shoxas]

Yeah, they're pretty meh and you're welcome!

[@dfmh1]

Trying this in practice mode and it seems super inconsistent on a falcon standing still. I’m directly next to him, holding shield, then I jump and hold in his direction and immediately jump afterwards. I’m talking I’m literally instant double jumping while holding in the direction. The only way for me to footstool him is by going way slower. I don’t understand.

[@dfmh1]

Nevermind.. You have to input jump THREE times to consistently get the fast footstool to come out.

[@NetBattler]

Everyone is aerith the moment One Winged Angel theme plays in the background

[@kirbykirby123]

For the footstool to come out, do you need to hold in the direction of the opponent? Or just jump twice

[@shoxas]

Depends on how your opponent spaced their aerial. If it’s really poorly spaced it’s free, just jump twice. If they land a little behind or a little in front you have to hold in that direction while jumping oos

[@FabledTactician]

@@shoxas do you hold the stick slightly in the direction you wanna go before jumping oos or do you jump then input a direction?

[@blackghostcat]

THAT'S SAUCY

[@dmitrimatthews7898]

Now THIS feels like Seph tech. I have no interest in playing Seph but this was a great video. Well done shoxas!

[@lordtt3984]

Song? Love your vids btw you've helped me improve my seph a lot with stuff like tech chasing with octoslash

[@shoxas]

Glad to hear it! It’s Liberi Fatali from FF8

[@DarkThomy]

I think you forgot to mention it's almost necessary to jump INTO your opponent to maximize your chance of getting the footstool. You shouldn't let the control stick in neutral position, and could maybe even sliiightly delay the second jump if opponent is far..

[@squiggy8849]

FF VIII soundtrack :)

[@cha_michaelmf_1504]

Do you input the R and X button simultaneously or so you do it in succession?

[@shoxas]

R is shield, which you’re holding, then while you’re holding shield press jump

[@epistarter1136]

So is it better to use shoulder buttons to jump OOS than trying to jump using just x/y?

[@paullee5143]

I have been trying to learn this recently and was just wondering if I press jump like instantly and is this his best OOS option? Or is there a better / easier option, like what are his other good OOS options?

[@utacca]

nair oos is the other most notable one but i guess bladedash oos can work as well as it repositions you fast but it shouldnt be the one you spam the great thing abt nair oos is that it conditions your opponent to shield after they attack your shield so you can do a grab but footstool dair oos mixes up sephiroth’s oos options very well

[@kevinfontes9509]

So is R X both your shield buttons . I'm a bit confused if u could explain a bit better I'd all those buttons are shield . I main lucario and God knows I also get mashed on my shield for free

[@shoxas]

My L button and X button is set to Jump. Check out the description I explain more there.

[@barnabus1513]

What was the music used here?

[@JX2209]

Thanls dude!

[@shoxas]

No prob my dude

[@chignonn]

How do I practice this alone? Will I need a training mod that makes a cpu hit me first? Need to start using this instead of just nair oos

[@andrebaxter4023]

Have min min set to side smash in training mode. Throw her up. On the first or second toss she tries to land on you with an attack. That's all you need to practice it, at surface level.

[@metaking4263]

What’s the music in the video? Also good tech!

[@shoxas]

Liberi Fatali from FF8:)

[@cheesethegamer_]

Do you recommend me using 1 jump button?

[@Kizunoto]

It’s… Beautiful

[@LicketySplitandorFooFoo]

Okay real talk, is anybody else for some reason finding this way easier to do to the left rather than to the right?

[@gabrielcruzd7]

what version of whatever theme is this?

[@verylargemandarinslice8965]

This might sound stupid but could you do more pyra mythra guides again if you can? Also some sora stuff would be nice thanks 🙏

[@Kingu-Sama]

Song name and where is it from?

[@ThatGuy320]

Can someone explain to me the diff btwn the phantom FSDair and how it's supposed to be? They look the same to me.

[@aurora3542]

Doesn't make the enemy go through the animation of footstool, so they don't receive the 20 frame lag punish, making it posible for them to shield and punish or do other options

[@Dwish305]

Oh this is hype

[@shoxas]

much

[@emmanuelroutsis9534]

Shoxas you devil you. It’s a shame my sora will put sephi in the dirt before that pesky wing poops out

[@silversilva1741]

What’s the name of the song

[@shoxas]

Liberi Fatali from FF8

[@rasamasala]

What is your R button assign to?? Shield or jump??

[@shoxas]

Shield

[@ipsum2224]

I’m still trying to get the inputs down for mewtwo footstool disable, that one extra jump makes it so much harder

[@shoxas]

Yeah it's like 4 different inputs in the span of 1/4th a second. Having learned mewtwo's footstool disable makes this feel like a walk in the park

[@chordalharmony]

Fortunately, my entire character lineup can use this. I just have to learn to up b with wolf

[@shoxas]

Compared to this the inputs are a bit harder but You got it!

[@hanielbarreto5875]

AMOOOO, bro eres lo más~

[@shoxas]

Túúúú

[@0wn3dforlife]

Do you have to jump towards them or just neutral jump oos?

[@shoxas]

Depends on their spacing. If they're really close just neutral jump, if they're a little farther away then you have to jump and angle the second jump towards them.

[@epistarter1136]

@@shoxas so when that shiek nair'd while you shielded did you just nuetral jump or did you have to jump into their direction (also confused why you angle the second jump and not the first)

[@issacsantana6419]

Hmm... I know that Cloud's Dair doesn't send himself downwards, but does it hit off of a footstool?

[@shoxas]

Sadly na

[@M9Divine]

This is possible with every type of stall and fall dair right?

[@shoxas]

Yup

[@Jamesx2525]

What’s the song tho

[@spicyleonardoii4289]

i can only get this on tall characters :/

[@brianalmeida739]

The jump is frame 3 but what frame does the footstool come out on?

[@chordalharmony]

It’s as fast as frame 4, but it’s more realistic to assume frame 5-8 depending on how fast you are.

[@brianalmeida739]

@@chordalharmony Good to know thxs

[@shoxas]

@@brianalmeida739 what he said! On point

[@dinosaurcb]

How do you set up the training bot to practice this

[@shoxas]

I've got an extra controller with a turbo button. I've taped the button down, so it'smalways mashing "A". You can do this with any button too

[@dinosaurcb]

@@shoxas ok thanks

[@JosukeWF]

imagine doing this but you end up blocking Byleth's dair or Hero's oomph dair and ur shield breaks

[@shoxas]

Parry everything all the time ez W

[@JosukeWF]

@@shoxas shit u rite, those moves are damn slow too so it should be easy. Anyway, another great video from u again, love these quick and easy-to-understand videos, crazy how you keep finding more cool things you can do with these characters

[@unknownentity5354]

I think parrying the opponent's move prevents the Phantom footstool

[@Wolfy129]

Parrying a move gives you 3 additional frames to find a punish. Footstool oos is a frame 4 OoS option that only works on opponents with landing lag or that are slightly airborne. Basically the parry won’t prevent the phantom footstool if the opponent buffers an option other than jump after the landing lag is over.

[@shoxas]

@@tuannguyencanh6096 It's pretty simple after a bit of practice, you got it!! Try it out in 1/2 speed then slowly build your way up. Especially compared to some other Footstool setups from other characters like Mewtwo, Megaman, if your opponent lands super close to you just press jump twice and cstick down, it's pretty free.
