    PPMD's Falco Discussion Thread

    Hey @Dr Peepee , it's been a while, hope you're doing well? I've been struggling a bit with the concept of "closing the gap" as it were, when my opponent is far away from me in neutral. Now previously I would've just done some variation of approaching laser and sort of played whatever happened...

    PPMD's Falco Discussion Thread

    Okay so after doing some more thinking / testing these out, my followup is when do we want to be Lasering in Place instead of Dashing between Lasers? My thoughts were: 1. When you already have a good position set up with your Laser e.g. Marth is cornered in Shield and you are just outside of...

    PPMD's Falco Discussion Thread

    Okay so this time @Dr Peepee I have a few discussion points about Dashes between Lasers. I've been trying out the Long Dash Back -> Dash Forward Half Approaching Laser, and it's been working well but I don't think I full understand why. Usually when it's working well the opponent tries to Jump...

    Okay that's cool, I have a lot of trouble understanding when I have time to react to something and when I have to guess, it's something I haven't really thought about when I do analysis so I'm having to back track through my knowledge and figure it out lol

    When you dash back in a spot like that have you already decided what you will do after it or are you just reacting to what they do and then making a decision? or does it depend

    So when you go for something like that, do you have in your head that he will either come in with a level 1 N-Air, or he's going to wait and then come in with a 2nd intent N-Air, so I will Dash Back then Laser In to cover both? I feel as if usually when I think about these things I'm along the...

    PPMD's Falco Discussion Thread

    Yeah Half Lasering in is one of the things I thought of, just wasn't sure if it was good to risk getting hit by a level 1 N-Air in, to be able to get initiative back if he goes for a Level 2 / 3 Approach. I suppose if this spot comes up vs Marth it's usually when you wouldn't have control in the...

    What you said makes sense, most interesting bit to me is "Similarly, what a Marth may do when they set up PS may be different at different intents(they may go for a pivot grab on you first if they assume an attack for example), and also whether Marth decides to get on a platform or not if he...

    PPMD's Falco Discussion Thread

    Yes I feel like I understand it currently as he's gonna attack now, or after a beat, but I don't consider the 3rd level that much, and I definitely don't see it as the opponent having different strategies for each level. So how would you typically approach analysing these 2nd and 3rd levels of...

    "It also sounds like you have to learn to play upon people's actions after their initial one." Yeah this sentence hits the nail on the head I think, I only really have planned out the first interaction, rather than the sequence that follows, I feel like it's hard to figure out all the things...

    PPMD's Falco Discussion Thread

    @Dr Peepee I played Makenshi a bit yesterday (Not sure if you might've played him when you came to EU, he's quite an oldschool Marth) was pretty brutal haha. I'm just gonna write some thoughts here, just because it will help me vent a bit, but if you have any thoughts they would be appreciated...

    PPMD's Falco Discussion Thread

    Yeah that's the thought process I had when I was thinking about using Low Lasers instead, you start to risk him jumping over, but in turn that can also generate openings such as beating out the N-Air with something, or lasering from further back to catch him out of the Air, so I'm glad I was on...

    PPMD's Falco Discussion Thread

    In terms of Half Dash Back Laser being used to fake an approach, what would I want Marth to be respecting for this to be effective? I assume the range where this is most useful is the just outside F-Smash range that you mentioned earlier. My first thoughts that this sequence works well against...

    PPMD's Falco Discussion Thread

    Thanks for the quick response, I'm doing good. So in terms of Approaching Laser, I've found that shooting high lasers (press B within first 4 F of Jump with earliest FF) you end up avoiding the PS because your landing animation ducks under it and then you can go for Shine (Grab makes you stand...

    PPMD's Falco Discussion Thread

    Hi @Dr Peepee hope you are well, I've been reevaluating my Marth MU at the moment and have been watching some of your twitch streams for inspiration and was wondering if I could ask some questions about how you see the MU / some of the sequences you go for? So I know one big thing that...
