    Why am I so predictable as Sonic now?

    If I become too predictable, I like to hang out on the opposite side of the stage and force them to approach. How many Sonics have you seen just chillin on the other side? Also, mix up your side and down special. Even so, don't always SCJ-Uair. S.S.

    Meta SSB4 Falco Matchup Thread - Main Post

    When going against Jiggs, I usually wait for her to approach. Jiggs normally uses short hops and floats to approach. Just hang back and let her. Shine is effective and can cause trips, allowing for grab-dThrow-fair, or just reset spacing with bThrow-fullhop-laser. Dtilt is amazing for shield...

    fair isn't just for gimping

    So fair. It's a multi-hit move that can drag opponents and is normally used as a gimp technique. However, it does have other uses. The final hit can kill at higher percents and although it has landing lag, the landing also has a hitbox and can give you a little breathing space. Personally, if...

    Meta SSB4 Falco Matchup Thread - Main Post

    Can we talk about King Dedede for a sec? I came across a decent one of 1v1 for glory and I lost, though the match was tough. It feels like his ftilt prevents us from getting close and his fast fall nair makes follow ups unfavourable. Dedede's dtilt comes out quickly and resets spacing almost...

    Lasers are good for forcing approaches in the air. Lazers interupt Sonic's spindash, Ganon's Flamechoke etc, and can ruin grounded approaches. Don't use it often though, there's plenty of end lag on laser. S.S.

    Meta SSB4 Falco Matchup Thread - Main Post

    Rosalina has been nerfed in the recent patch. The Luma takes a full 5 more seconds to respawn. Taking out the Luma first might be an option now. S.S.

    I don't think so? I never came across it in Brawl. S.S.

    Q&A Mechanics & Techniques Discussion

    So, I noticed while trying to footstool that if you doublejump near someone, you get massive height. It's kind of wierd and seems to happen at random. Any ideas? S.S.

    Meta SSB4 Falco Matchup Thread - Main Post

    I've been playing a little Falco, he was my second in brawl. Against Rosalina, dash>reflector. It provides good stun and normally when expecting a dash attack, Rosalina players launch Luma. Fun fact; reflector beats Luma! Also, plenty of ShortHop>nair>grab>fthrow and maybe use lasers while...

    Little Mac Combos/Juggles

    Personally, after deciding to second Mac after Sonic, I really like to Grab>dThrow>SH>UpB. Not an really an air fighter, so it's not expected. They can air dodge out of it, so wait a split second before using the UpSpecial, or punish by FastFall>Jab. Edit: Punishing. S.S.

    online pet peeves

    I feel exatcly the same way. Sucks, huh? :/ S.S.

    EVERYONE ELSE IS TOO SLOW-- Sonic Match-up Thread 01/18/15 GAME AND WATCH! WATCH HIM GAME! And stuff

    Thanks for the correction. Also, to add to the problems, Homing Attacks seem to target the Luma too, making it an unreliable approach option. S.S.

    EVERYONE ELSE IS TOO SLOW-- Sonic Match-up Thread 01/18/15 GAME AND WATCH! WATCH HIM GAME! And stuff

    Be patient with Shulk. I played one earlier and got owned until I started taking my time. Fake out a lot, bait him. Get close and dash away. When Shulk uses a smash attack, he has a long-ish cool down period. It worked for me? S.S.

    What new Sonic stage would you like to see?

    It's more of a 'what if'. At least that's how I'm taking it? In terms of other stages, classic wise, I'd pick casino night or starlight zones. Sticking with Metal Harbor for the newer. S.S.

    Homing Attack thoughts.

    Another thing. After playing a RosaLuma in 1v1 for glory, I noticed a HA quirk. It seems to lock on to the Luma? After testing against DHD, the HA also locks onto the TNT. Strange, and also annoying. This means that against certain members of the cast, the HA can be extremely unreliable. Maybe...
