    PPMD's Falco Discussion Thread

    i mostly agree with what @orvs said regarding stages, though I would say that ps is definitely good as a cp (maybe alongside ys) orvs also covered a good amount of edgeguarding stuff, but for clarity/additional info i'd say that first off you have to pay attention to whether peach has used her...

    PPMD's Falco Discussion Thread

    Hey @Dr Peepee! This was a super helpful post—thank you! You seemed to sort of touch on it, but I was hoping you could talk a bit more about falco's defensive options from his DD. I find that, given his slow/short dash, falco feels a bit more limited when it comes to defensive play from DD...

    PPMD's Falco Discussion Thread

    Can I get some advice on how to play against a ledge-camping puff? Obviously, if I have the lead, I don't need to approach, but what do I do when the puff has the lead and is willing to go to time-out? For clarity, mostly what the puffs I've played against have done is some combination of the...

    PPMD's Falco Discussion Thread

    Ok, I just meant that I understood your post as asking for advice about the falco ditto in general too (you saying "some protips?", "my dittos in general are pretty crappy," "i have trouble with the neutral game", which would suggest a lack of understanding of the matchup in general). I...

    Not to be an asshole, but you're the 4th person on this page to ask for advice on the falco ditto. Start by reading some of the above posts edit: insta karma got me, "4th person on the page on which you asked"

    PPMD's Falco Discussion Thread

    ok more specifically in response to your questions: i feel like falco dittos are a super strange matchup because it seems to me that the closer range/minute interactions are super emphasized, so there's a lot of little things to learn iirc from previous questions about the matchup, PP always...

    PPMD's Falco Discussion Thread

    @TheRealAlbert (and @Splice) From a quick look at albert's falco ditto on stadium, the main things I would say are: —make him respect your defensive options more when he approaches. A big thing about playing falco dittos and against falco in general is staying mobile even when getting hit by...

    PPMD's Falco Discussion Thread

    @Dr Peepee Hey, I've been meaning to ask. At evo, I hardly saw you use dtilt in your match against Fly, but I remember in some of your earlier sets vs icies ( I think in particular vs. chu at zenith 2012 and wobbles at apex 2012 iirc), you used it a lot. Any reason for the change?

    PPMD's Falco Discussion Thread

    is there a proper response to getting hit by marth's side b? like in particular if you get hit by the first hit and expect them to continue with the side b. i've tried sdi-ing down to get my shield up or sdi-ing past them but both with limited success. maybe it depends on % and whether i'm...

    PPMD's Falco Discussion Thread

    I'm not one for necrobumping usually, but I'd like to think this is a post worthy of discussion. I feel bad that PP gets singled out for responses so often, but @Dr Peepee have any thoughts? Anyone else welcome too, of course. If not, i'll just leave this be

    PPMD's Falco Discussion Thread

    this is twitch so i don't know how to watch in slow motion but: these are some things i notice right away 0:20 — shine looked like it would've hit and is generally better at that percent (0 ~ 40 shine is better before fox starts to tumble from the dair) 0:24 — try to CC a lot of fox bairs (if...

    PPMD's Falco Discussion Thread

    I wanna talk about a basic concept if that's alright. I noticed recently—actually from playing teams—that I need to understand stage control and spacing (spacing in the sense of that video lucien made a while ago, more like zoning rather than hitting with the edge of specific hitboxes) and...

    PPMD's Falco Discussion Thread

    Thanks, though I guess that I should've been able to come up with that myself :/ Pretty random, but, whenever you have the time, I'd love to hear your thoughts on Leffen's fox and how you think your matches would go with him. You should check out the posts on this page from Kadano, but, in...

    PPMD's Falco Discussion Thread

    Thanks Kadano for all of the helpful posts; they were super helpful! How do you guys deal with foxes who can reliably do the invincible ledgedash? Just try to space around it and punish any move they do (usmash or whatever)? I feel like I have to give up more stage than I'd like to to do this.
