I used it in DM after get hit with a push disc, saved myself from giving another person the point. If you can stay on their long enough and fall, it still may not give the other person a point. So its quite handy, plus if your not falling, your alive more to kill.
i've cake walked a couple times but i'm still not very experienced on it. I'm sure you did a nice job on the tutorial but i havn't looked at it. and ya anon is right it'll help if you get hit anddon't wanna lose.
