Kirby vs: Falcon

[nitro-blazer]

The last few needed for 100% Character completion. Instead of making it in the other character forums, i'd get my information here, just for convinience sake.

Falcon: Is the Knee a problem? What about his wack crazy flaing arm recovery? Does he out "prioritize" you in the air with his mobility and Reach? What about ground, is it the same as Ganon in that some attacks can be ducked?

Also, add in everything else you can think of...

falcon is about the same as ganon as far as difficulty, but he is easier to combo because of fast falll >:P

and kirby would play rings around mew2

Not necessarily, he has much more amazing speed and combo's, and plays COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. Notice the emphasis on COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. :laugh:

CF, IMO, is one of the easier (or at least more fun) matchups for Kirby. There are a few things to worry about, namely dthrow to knee. But it's pretty easy to duck CF's grab, and well, Kirby can neutralize the rest of his approaches. Trying to come in with a sh is easily eaten by a fair, raptor boost can be cc'd, dtilt'd, utilt'd, or grabbed, dding to grab can be easily broken/avoided by crouching and wding with tilts. But be careful if you get caught by any one of his aerials, as he can usually follow it up with any number of others depending on how you DI. Luckily, the same is also true for you. One utilt can lead into several bairs/fairs each followed by another utilt and hopefully eventually finished with an easy edgegaurd or uair.

Wow, thanks. However, one thing confused me.

Trying to come in with a sh is easily eaten by a fair

Is it Kirby coming in with the SH thats easilt beaten, or vice versa?

[Gimpyfish62]

Kirby can break most of falcons approaches with a fair is what he means I believe.

One thing to watch out for is those Uairs and bairs from falcon. especially the uairs. Sure the knee is a problem (kinda) but its less of a problem for kirby than for most.

And no, you can't duck under his attacks QUITE like ganon, but you can duck under some of them.

[Omnigamer]

Yes, I was referring to CF shing in towards you. It'll get through the knee in nearly all cases, but they'll from time use an uair instead, which is a bit more iffy. Also, a lot of CF players will subconsciously jump out of their shield after getting attacked to try to land a knee. This is the perfect opportunity to catch them with a fair... simply use a tilt against the shield, then immediately full jump into a fair. It'll catch them more often than not. Even if they don't jump, keep moving so that you fall behind them and can use a bair on the way down. From there, utilts. Ownage.

Don't get grabbed, don't get kneed, have fun with dthrow tech chases, don't fall for mindgames on recoveries, own his recovery with dtilts and aerials, mix up how you DI, approach with tilts, keep low, kill his sh game with fairs and tilts, abuse utilt into fairs and bairs, and have fun owning him

It's actually pretty tough on Falcon because he has to play very differently.

(i know the difference between Cf and ganon :dizzy: )

not saying that Cf is excactly like ganon, just similar in difficulty if not easier

[g-regulate]

i know nothing about this matchup

i know nothing about this matchup

Ironically ebough, you play both Kirby and Falcon, or at least used to p;lay both at one time, right?
