question more on game mechanics here. so as far as i know, in order to hit a tech, you have to press l or r 20 frames before you hit the ground. if you press either l or r and you DONT hit the ground within 20 frames, you will be unable to tech for the next 40 frames. as far as i know this is...

hey @Dr Peepee how do you handle jab in place from marth? because the way i handle it is by not engaging it lol. at least when i fight marth players who like to jab, it's almost always done at a certain kind of spacing - usually when i am in a position to cross their shield with an aerial/empty...

what if you nair instead of dair?

thanks a bunch! yea this helped me out a lot. after finally being able to play while with some people, they started to be afraid of being sent off stage. so a lot of neutral game and combo game scenarios revolved around them doing something to avoid that. so now im going into matches to see if...

More of a player vs player question than a falco question, but since falco is the only character I play seriously here goes. Long post, there is a tl;dr at the bottom. So when you guys have a read on the opponent’s movement do you guys always try to punish it? Or is it better to see what they...

Hey @Dr Peepee, I have a lot of questions that kind of expand on this. Also I'm super willing to hear what everyone else has to say too. 1. When fighting players who are very analytical/adaptive, they will probably know when you are trying to gather information from them, especially when you...

it's possible to tech chase on reaction with upsmash if you can determine where they will be and also act within 12-13 frames ish frames or a fifth of a second. i forgot, i did extensive testing on this a long time ago. you need to position yourself right where they hit the ground to do it...

I land my shines in a few ways. 1. Catching their jump to platforms. If they like to jump to a platform after getting hit by a laser or when it looks like I'm going to dash forward, I pin them under a platform and then intercept them when they are moving to the platform. ppmd does this a lot...

major props for posting this. i would like to call myself a 'labber' - i'm definitely going to try to innovate with this information some more. i have a few ideas for different matchups. just a question - where are you obtaining the disjoint values? how do you know that falco's fair disjoint is...

pretty sure you cant pillar marth at 0 percent on fd. i dont remember but you might be able to get it after 20 percent if you delay the dair. On platform stages you can get the pillar on marth at 0, you just gotta delay the dair perfectly

yea sometimes i use the aerial interrupt to help follow up when certain characters DI falco's uptilt really well

you gotta get out of there before he is in your face. depending on the spacing/timing, you can roll out, use full jump mixups, or retreat to ledge and ledgedash. or hit him with something before he's close enough to shine so its about recognizing fox's behavioural patterns and what he does...

- practice your bread and butter combos on the character cast until its very consistent. - i know it sounds basic but dashing around and dash dancing. having perfect control of your ground movement is so necessary - shinegrabs, and double shines and converting off of them into combos -JC grabs...

in certain situations maybe for example if your opponent can tell that you are spamming the b button every time after you shffl, then the next time you do a shffl they can dodge it, and use a move on you that will get them a knockdown. because youre pressing down and spamming b, you will di down...

naw i don't think it's possible to react to blank lasers, regardless of distance. because the whole time falco is in the air, they're gonna be expecting you to laser. when you land, you'll be in only 4 frames of landing lag - in this time frame their brain has to recognize 'hey, he didn't shoot...
