FINAL SMASHBOARDS POST: This post is a bit hard to write. But it feels like it's time. Basically 15 years ago today, I joined this website after watching Wak's Advanced How to Play Guide. People thought I was a troll account given my username, and I went to my first tournament as Mario. I...

FINAL POST HERE: Thank you all for joining me on this journey here. 10 years ago, I was watching Marth players say there was no hope for the character and I began sharing advice in hopes to show them there was SO MUCH Marth can do. Public opinion has shifted today, and I'd like to think that my...

Hitting with a Bair as Doc is throwing the pill or right after is best so you can strong hit both the pill and then doc. If he pills from far away you can kick pill then go for another way to edgeguard doc after but it can depend. Sometimes if Doc pills kinda low you can FH over it and Dair...

1. Sometimes you can still laser and land on the platform if it's lower. What to do from here depends on matchup, but attacking from the platform or even while on it can be interesting. If you'd rather avoid that, then you'd want to back up to the edge of the stage to laser or move more toward...

Here is the full twitter thread by Shy, who extensively labbed this: https://twitter.com/ShyPF/status/1251991945825615873 Useful for both Fox and Falco

You can also dash in pivot SH/FH Bair but you have to start before they jump so it's not always reliable. Fox's FH is just great at keeping people out, so in addition to what has been said so far I'd recommend lasering the landing and playing a mixup, possibly a more aggressive one if you can...

Yoyo! On Fox, you can Dthrow shine at lower percents(this is less likely to work if you are a higher port, and also if they know about this trick and have good SDI). You can get a mixup even if they get out. Throwing them offstage is always great. Fthrow tech chase at high 30s and low 40s is...

Shield is good when you're pretty sure they will attack AND you can't CC punish(which is usually, CC isn't great for Falco in most matchups). Sometimes you can't move away or get an attack out in time but you can shield so those would be good times to do it. Out of shield, shine is great if...

Sounds like you need to be gentler with yourself. You'd be surprised what can happen when you let these tensions go.

Attacking can be directly going at them where they are, overshooting to where they will be, protecting your space, or faking/threatening....to say it a different way. The point is to connect your movement and attacks, to have intent. No intent, no connection, no threat. But yes, I'm not...

For sure. I won't be doing Smashboards a ton longer, but it seems like we get to have some great conversation before that happens! Some tactics and techniques are stronger than others. And sometimes all you need to do is one thing to win in bad matchups. But yes vs stronger characters it helps...

That's all true, what you said.

Whiff punishing is stuff like Sheik AC Fairs in front of you but you Dtilt and either hit her landing or hit her dash/WD back. But, if you're too far to Dtilt or in dash animation then whiff punishing might be walk Dtilt to hit post-Fair movement back for example. But yeah, you can't only look...

If you run in retreating Fair, you're going to wind up back where you started. So you'll go back pretty far. It's not going to be likely punished unless they're pretty prepared for it. But that also means you won't technically be giving up any stage since you move in then go back. But...

It just sounds like you don't know how to threaten moving forward. Something I'd suggest starting with that might be more comfortable is dash in retreating rising Fair. You see Zain do it sometimes. Also run up Fair/Nair in place(Fair can be mid or late). When you can control your space...
