yeah tilts are teh awesome..

Hey Mog, question mainly for you?.. as you prolly know i'm from AZ and in terms of Falco. Forward, Myself and Axe are the closest thing to competition for Falco at least. Forward has a few combo vids. Umm can you think of a cool dual person name or have an idea of something. I'm a work on a combo video w/both me and Axe. I would make seperate ones for each of us, but neither one of us want that you know?

Were also not trying to use the same footage that most others have in a combo video... I mean yeah we'll use footage against top players, and combo stuff but were just trying to be different. (clue) alot of the clips i'm using are those "powershield" approaches that we use..(powershield attack immediately knowing were gonna PS) it's really the only thing that makes us unique from most Falcos you know, since we get it "often" heh haven't seen those too much. so yeah If you can help me out w/a name. or anyone for that matter. Techschool is so boring, so i'm a make somethin for me.. and for Axe to save.

So yeah I could use your help, or ANYONE for that matter, who's seen a "good" "decent" amount of me/axe videos on youtube.. and try to think of a name that contemplates on our unique Falcos. It'd be kinda cool. So plz if you could help me think of a name.. If you haven't seen, just search here or on youtube. (I used to spam alot you'll prolly find it) or something.. I'd really love all your input so i can make somethin for axe/I in my free time.. and perhaps maybe even entertain some people =D

well yeah that's it..

k carry on..

btw Mewtwo's Tilts are good! =D

(almost forgot I actually play M2) n n!

falcos utilt is ****ing amazing. it beats like everything ever.

his ftilt has suepr good range but its only safe if you space it. its a decent ghetto edgeguard lol

dtilt has surprising reach and is almost always safe on shield unless you are like right next to them. my favorite use of it is when marth and sheik are at like 130 after up b lag and bair wont kill, you can just walk from the ledge and dtilt. i need to use this more.

but utilt is like one of the stupidest moves ever and people should use it. it's like totally safe on shield lol

falco's utilt is just awkward to use, especially offensively, but defensively it's monstrous and really hard to beat
o man, laser to shine turn wavedash utilt

saw eggm do that at smashtastrophe a couple years ago and immediately went home and perfected it. i do it all the time, its pretty effective.

vector, havent watched your guys vids besides a few of axes pika stuff. from what u described, "counterstrike" seems appropiate, i mean thats waht u do with the powershield, plus falco has a gun n stuff. U can make it counterstrike themed it could be lolz.

reminds me of this old *** vid. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKwQSJIVKmo

lolz

lol you guys are awesome, but it has to be something "unique" to us, so i'm trying to relate something to the high% frequency of our powershielding, or something of that nature you know? Also, I don't want a name, of something that represents another player already. i.e "shades of falco" you know?

something that Axe/I, can claim for our own you know. I appreciate the help again.

Also note" This Is Mogwai's thread so at the same time let's just plz stay on topic. I just didn't want to make a new thread for such a small problem like this that i'm having. I'm just looking for ideas/suggestions~

sorry again, but ty everyone.

I want to expect better of you, but I know not to
lies Jona! it does once the level evens off! that is, right by the edge where is slopes down, the utilt will not poke through the platform, but once it stops sloping, if they're directly above you, it pokes through.

EDIT: @ RyanK, dtilt has been working it's way back into my game a lot lately and I'm loving it. It's so god**** safe on shields and shield pokes way better than it should (since people love to tilt their shields up vs. Falco.). And yea, get up from edge, walk, dtilt is a **** upB punish on Shiek :p.

VMan, I'll get back to you if I think of anything.

lol i was j/k

i always thought "0 to 60" would be a great name for a falco combo vid.

but that doesnt really fall with what you've described

yeah mogwai know what pisses me off lol...when in falco dittos ppl do like dair dtilt on ur shield, its like so much harder to punish than it should be because you cant really dair in time and nair only works if they cant cc. wd shine oos would be the best punishment but its often so difficult to land in time.

I was just about to say that lol.

But dtilt can combo into literally everyone of m2's moves.

Favorites

dtilt: M2, marth, roy(its better than marths)
uptilt:falco, marth, falcon, ganon, pikachu
ftilt: luigi, falcon, falco, marth, m2

tilts are the best. I remember when I was a casual and found out about tilts I said nobody will use these lol.

If I ever make a combo video for my Falco, I'll name it 0 to 60, just for you.

Though to be honest, lately I've been playing a "Cactuar Falco."

I often emulate my "efficient" style with Fox with Falco. Often, rather than continuing to combo 'til higher percentages, I take the road that gets their character off the stage quicker. Falco's attacks have exceptionally high knock back, and his F-Tilt has rediculous range, and priority, not to mention how quickly it comes out, plus it's angleable, which only continues to make it a more versatile edgeguarding methood. I often spam it on-stage as if I were emulating Marth.

I have updated the Laser Section with an appropriate lolcat.

I need to force myself to practice smash tonight, so if I manage to get especially motivated, I may finally get those other Laser practices up, but I've been saying that for months, so we'll see :p

I've been practicing for the last few weeks just getting my tech skill with my Falco up to par and it's really good now, but I have a question about Marth.

At like 80-90% against Fox, you can uthrow to nair or bair depending on which direction they go.

But what about Marth? If I grab him at the percentage what should I do? Let's say I'm in the middle of the stage.
