I've been practicing for a bit now. And from what i can tell the biggest issue with NOT dashing is the legit JI . Whenever i do the motion for the JI HCL in a fluid fashion the Air dash comes out perfect. You have to be very very fast with this and make sure you're tapping that final 6 or 4 (depending on which direction you're facing) to ensure the Air dash happens. I'm still practicing however so.. this is just scrub talk ><
