    What's your training routine?

    I'm not a fan of playing against CPUs so I tend to not actually play against any. I practice for atleast 10 minutes a day focusing on movement solely. My routine as of late: 1. Dashdance from one side of FD to other with varied dash distances, super short ones to the longest I can. (I do this...

    JC Up-Smash?

    I would grind it out more and start off by learning to do them slower and then do them faster, until you get to the point where you are JC UpSmashing. Then you should have a feeling on what is too fast. I play claw so it happens to me a lot because i dont have to move my fingers. Wizzrobe just...

    How to optimize moonwalking?

    Input speed is key, the shape of the movement is used to make the input speed faster. I don't remember the technical data so I won't give you any of that since im not 100% sure (search it up if you want to know more.) Make sure to dash one direction then moonwalk the opposite to gain max speed...

    What can I do to mix up my game with Falcon?

    Work on your tech is the go to answer. To put an idea in your mind, learning more tech skill is not about having the ability to push more buttons. You gain MORE OPTIONS (instead of only using a side b approach, once you learn your dash dance spacing you now have the ability to dash dance...

    When should you use late uair in neutral?

    This is similar to a timing mixup, but after using some empty hops (empty hop grabs too!) You can throw this in if they are trying to punish your lag upon landing. Sometimes a non-fastfall short hop infront of their shield into a late u-air can punish a shield grab attempt, but try to drift...

    Melee Confessions

    I realized after playing for 6 months that I was only fast falling SHFFL aerials but nothing else (including my up-B as falcon.)

    Follow Up On Gravy's Pivot Method

    Thanks TauKhan! Your explanation was great! (especially for something as difficult as describing how to move your control stick)

    Follow Up On Gravy's Pivot Method

    It's less consistent between controllers was Gravy's reasoning. I could see why he would say that. Also, I think it would be easier to perform in high pressure situations and eliminates the need to worry about your controller if it has an issue of having snapback (which one of mine does.) So I...

    Follow Up On Gravy's Pivot Method

    Hello, I've read a lot and seen a lot of evidence to what effect empty pivots can have on Falcon's movement/control. I've been able to get pivot actions (grab, jab, jump) consistent. However, my consistency of doing empty pivots is garbage. Usually resulting in either a short moonwalk or just a...

    Looking for nearby Tourneys

    So I googled "texas melee" for you: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17HHLjUfdG8KUIG4g1BxAsq0_ChI_63HW0-pXiCU-nfo/edit#gid=0 This has a lot of events + the link to the melee FB page ( https://www.facebook.com/groups/DFW.Melee/ ). Goodluck at your locals! :)

    Captain Falcon color tier list

    SS: Black S: Red A: Pink (RIP Hax$) B: Green C: Blue D: Neutral (unpopular opinion) PS: I think falcon has the best color choices. Even his low tier colors are a lot better than some other characters high tier colors.

    Mashing and the pummel

    Spinning the control stick counts as multiple inputs, I don't remember where the new inputs start but yes spinning the control stick is good. Also I'm pretty sure you don't need to push all the way down on the triggers I think a slight press counts as an input (I'm not 100% on that though.) This...

    Having trouble learning to not roll much

    Learning wavedash out of shield can be a good alternative to always rolling out of shield pressure. Seeing as you are a falcon main your out of shield options are all pretty bad, I had the same habit of rolling to get out of pressure. Try throwing in some instant Uairs out of shield or...

    Getting into Melee. What should I know?

    If you are getting shined while already off stage usually its curtains for your stock. Attempting to tech it would be your best option (DI towards the stage). If you mean getting shined onstage that pushes you off, attempting to di down and to the ledge is a very good option, you should...
