Stages for Falco

[Dapenda]

I just started to using Falco and i was wondering:
What are the better stages for Falco? Which one of those stages is the best for him?

I know because of his bad recovery, Falco players seem to prefer larger or flatter stages.

The first good stage for Falco that comes to mind is FD. I've also heard that Falco prefers tri-platform stages so he can do his shine-spike combo, but then, it is also possible to do his shine combo on FD (which is only pure flat ground)
How about Corneria, although it's big, but it has a very uneven plane, how does this stage fare for falco?

Of course Final Destination is always my pick, perfect to spam short hop laser.

Any stage with low ceiling is good because of triple shine. Most stages are fine for falco, though uneven ground/low platforms aren't friendly to SHL. Corneria is good for falco to camp and to triple shine from top of the fin.

[Dapenda]

which stages are ones w/ low ceilings, wont falco be the one that's more disadvantaged against a fox on a low ceiling stage?

[soberfox]

The fin of Corneria is a bad place for Falco to be vs a Fox if your not careful.

My pick is usually FD, it fits Falco the best.

*shrugs* I seem to do fine in Hyrule.

[soberfox]

Hyrule may be a good level for Falco, but it's rarely played since it's generally a banned stage for most tourneys.

[Sporadic]

Well thanks for that. I guess i'll be training on a different level then! Any ideas as to why? I suppose it's because of it's vastness, so the matches would take ages...

Actually, i've heard that Dreamland 64 is also a good stage for falco, not sure the reason, maybe the distance the platforms are from the ground compared to other lvls make it easier for falco to shine-spike and wide bottom lvl allows for more SHL-ing. The wind is annoying, but it's the same for all chars

And I'm guessing fox aside, falco has the advantage when fighting anyone else, because can shine-spike others to death easier on the fin and it's very hard for him to die (he has to tech) if he gets hit towards the fin when standing on the tail end of the ship

FD is my main choice: cause of the laserspamming.

Mute City is nice too: Spike, Road, Spike, Road, Spike, etc.

Brinstar Dephts: 2 shines can kill a normal character.

I think the best stage for Falco mainly depends on what character your opponent uses. For instance, Final Destination is a good choice against a Ganondorf because you can just run and SHL if you so desire, but it's not such a good choice against Peach because she can chain throw you freely with no platforms to break it up.

In general, some good levels for Falco are Final Destination (SHLs), Corneria (space + low ceiling), Yoshi's Island (low ceiling), Flat Zone (low ceiling + blaster can knock around the tools), and Dream Land (space + platforms to break up chain throws). Of course, then there's some that I forgot >_>

Of course, these levels are no good if you aren't comfortable with them. I suggest you mess around with a lot of levels, find one that you think could be a good Falco level (look for space or a low ceiling in particular) and get used to it.

final destination as said the laser spamming rules!!!! and maybe hyrule but its usually ban in tournies but my fav is yoshis island past that one has it all laser spamming are from the clouds and platforms

Actually, platforms hinder his shine-spike loop.

For my Falco, I love flat stages, FD, Pokemon stadium neutral mode. Dreamland 64 and battlefield, I use SHB to force opponent to go aerial, then react accordingly. I hate FoD because of the platforms.

How do you all think Falco does on jungle japes? I don't know if this is just me, but I like this stage for Falco.

SHB does quite well here, you can't spam it in the way you can on FD, but it's verry usefull here. If your oponent is on one of the side platforms you can SHB them if you don't fastfall too early, the rest of the stage you can find some places to use it as well.

Falco's spike ability's are quite usefull here as well, with the 2 gabs in the middle of the stage you can sometimes go for an unexpected dair, or even ocasionally a sideB.

Falco's crappy recovery isn't that much of an issue here either because the sides of the level are pretty close.

I don't know if there are certain things against Falco here, but against my friends I like to pick this level every now and then.

[Mr. Falco]

I think FD is the best stage for Falco. I kill everybody there, because you'll get many chances to do Falco's airbone down attack.
