Reverse aerial rush

A reverse aerial rush, commonly abbreviated as RAR, is a technique in Rivals of Aether that allows you to approach while facing backwards, permitting the use of approaching with back aerials.

Inputs
To perform a reverse aerial rush, the player must be running (and not in the initial dash animation). Then, they must turn around to enter the turnaround animation, then cancel the turnaround animation with a jump. The player may also hold forward again to maintain forward momentum.

Strategies and applications
RARs have several common strategies and applications.

Approaching with a back aerial
The most common application of permoning reverse aerial rushes is to approach opponents with a back aerial. This is especially useful and even critical for characters that have strong back aerials or ones that are more effective than other approach aerials.
