Thank goodness for this . I hate not understanding things . So , from my understanding , this can be difficult to avoid because you actually get 5 increments of the counter by simply tapping A 3 times without reentering WaitWalk 1 to release the A button after entering Jab 1 , 2 for a pressrelease for jab 2 , and another 2 pressrelease for jab 3 . With omitting the button release of Jab 3 , that ' s still 4 , enough to trigger rapid jabs . So you either have to release the button at least once during hitstun frames , or let falcon go into WaitWalk between jab links at least once . This means Falcon cannot gentleman thin air without going into those waitwalk frames at least once . In practice , I ' ve found it ' s very easy to gentleman characters I hit now all you have to do is very quickly release the A button for the first two jabs not so quickly you release it before the hitbox comes out , but that ' s not a huge concern and hold it down for the third .
