The Falcon Punch can now be used as a horizontal boost for recovery.

The Falcon player does it at least three times.

I don't ever recall anyone doing it in Melee. Much better than the Falcon Kick then regaining your second jump, IMO.

lol it doesn't look like It's helping much...

[Ca$hoholic]

lol Brawl version of mario's cape... just slower and he falls faster after using it >.<

[Homelessvagrant]

at least he has ..something to help his lackluster recovery.

[SparkElectro]

Lackluster? I thought they buffed his recovery.

.............wut..............

They BUFFED his recovery.

*sigh* OK, once again I am going to elaborate on it....

His upB has gained more horizontal and vertical range.

The horizontal DI is much better than it was in Melee.

If someone is edgehogging, you can UpB into them for a possible stage spike (they can tech).

You can raptor boost and grab the stage.

If you hit an opponent while raptor boosting, you fly over them, so you lose no actual horizontal distance (yes they still get hit).

It's true you don't regain your second jump after the Falcon Kick, but here's an idea. How about saving the second jump for after you Falcon Kick? The floatiness in this game will allow you to recover that way. Dur.

It's still lackluster compared to everyone elses godlike recovery.
Even with the minute buffs.

[RPK]

Like Ike's recovery right?

[gamer8]

His recovery is buffed, thank god too, it was terrible in melee.

[DohKo]

That guy overused it a lil bit on his 2nd or 3rd try,got killed cuz of it.

What was the point of putting a melee video in BRAWL DISCUSSION?

[dori.]

I remember some people saying that it was used to recover in 64.

so this is "old school."

[BlargCow]

Doesn't look too helpful :/

[Kuroneko]

It's a cute trick. If someone is edgeguarding you they will be between you and the stage... Atleast it gives him some horizontal movement, while protecting his face.
