Hey guys, I have been playing smash seriously since the beginning of this year, got my cube over the summer and had the desire to learn the game of smash. My first main was falco which is just a great character overall but there was one thing I realized when playing him. I just wasn't having fun, even though I was doin pretty well with him in terms of playing my friends I was just a bitter person about it especially when I lost haha. I always played falcon as my secondary when the thought hit me that I have never gotten seriously upset when playing falcon even when i lose, he's just too damn fun to play with.
Anyway enough of my emotional rant, I have officially switched to falcon as my main as of Wednesday and am already seeing dramatic improvement in my game. Advanced technique wise I still am a huge novice. I can wave dash decently but I only used with Falco and Marth, with Falcon I never seem to use it. L-cancelling needs work as well as the short hop unfortunately since I could do it all the time with Falco but not with falcon although it's definitely not in bad shape.
Anywho, I have been looking at the stickies although not too many of them seemed to talk about certain techniques such as recovering with a knee or an up air or even a neutral air. I have seen it used tons in videos but when ever i attempt to do it with the same technique as falco I don't make it onto the platform and just die. Then again i haven't tried it too much and even did it once last night but i was drunk.
So basically I'm looking for all the pointers I can get. I don't really know when to use wavedash because for me his wavedash seems pretty short but i know the distance changes with the thumbstick a little bit. I really want to learn how to use the down air recovery onto ledge cause ive seen mango whoop *** with it. I actually do jump cancelled grabs.
I will think up of other stuff over the next few days because I know there's a ton of stuff i want to ask.
Oh yeah I thought of one just know, so everyone basically uses the c-stick for every aerial right? I saw a few people doing backwards knees and that has to use c-stick.
Also people seem to up-air so fast when they jump it's almost instantaneous. I have accidentally done it a few times with the Z Button though lmao so I'm pretty sure that's not how they do it. But otherwise it probably just takes a lot of practice to get your thumb from the jump button (For me I use Y) to the c-stick button like superfast. I could easily see it coming up fast using the thumbstick up to jump but that would be ****ty for DI.
Oh and last thing, how the **** do i do the "gentlemen"? I think that's what its called. Its two a's and then a third delayed A? Mine always goes in to the full multijab.
Thanks for everything guys! Feel free to post videos, links to guides, tips for l-cancelling, avoiding shield grab etc anything! (I ****ing love watching falcon videos anyway, especially Silent spectre and darkrain)
