cping you to Mute at a MDZ tourney
MacD just float over the ledge and bair. they'll jump into it every time.
So if I get a grab on marth, what throw should I use? I was playing friendies yesterday and I kept getting grabs on marth. I just fthrew and went back to lazer camping. It added damage but I didn't get kills off my grabs. whenever I upthrew I usually missed the follow up and bthrow didn't help much.

vs marth upthrow-> dair or bair usually works but its more of a pseudo combo.

i dont really know what the variations are or if DI matters or any of that, but the common notion vs marth is if you cant toss him off, throw him up then follow up real quick

At least you communicate your lunacy in a coherent manner.

ICG's posts are painful and frequently impossible to decipher.
Sometime either last month or December, I can't exactly recall, but he posted something very insightful, and in correct grammar.

I was shocked, to say the least.

Falco can't even fly.

I hope you're trolling me. I don't want to live in a world where ICG's posts have merit.

When does the Fox shine?

If it's when you're lasering, then just treat him like he's powershielding and shoot low ones and then hop over them to punish the Fox in stun.

If it's when he's aerial'ing and then keeping himself safe from being grabbed with shines, then you want to Dair him right after he lands so you'll catch him right as he shines or right after he does. Just don't do this every time or you will be punished.
Usually this one isn't much of a problem just because of the fact that you can still laser the Fox when he lands because the laser(I'd advise you shoot a laser to hit a Fox when they land....) probably won't connect with the Fox when he's shining.

lol i played my friend's Peach the other day, and every time i would think he would d-smash, i would begin to charge my d-smash immediately. he would d-smash usually when i thought he would, but he wouldn't hit me as i stood there on my tip toes and then punished him. it happened like 3 times in a row and he was just like "what the ****..."

First of all, thanks. =)

When I first got serious with Falco, I worked on getting consistent SHLs and RSHLs. I'd mix that in with SHFFL practice(and maybe mix in a little combo stuff if I was doing well enough with my SHFFLs). You'll also want to get your waveshines down pretty early too, since they help with combos a lot of the time.


@CJ: I actually read this the other day, but Falco's feet have invincibility when they're charging for Dsmash or something, so it protects you against Peach's Dsmash. Pretty ****.

please tell me by other day you mean like years ago, this is such old news buddy

also, once i did a high percent get up attack from the ledge and falco started to charge dsmash and my get up attack missed :( then we tried it again like as a test and my get up attack hit this time, it was werid

Is there a clear advantage to autocanceling SH bairs instead of SHFFLing?
You generally keep the hitbox out longer for AC Bairs. They're better at different things, so you have to play around with which is better for a given situation.

If you want to Bair shine a shield, then you should SHFFL. If you want to space Bairs, then both AC and SHFFL Bairs can be effective. It's that sort of thing.

@MacD: I'm still learning SHUT UP. =p

Haha everyone is gonna be calling me Kevin soon. ****.

Oh uhh, Mango really likes to Falco ditto. I'll see if I can get the puff, but I think he hates that matchup.

Thanks for your support bro. =)
