That's irrelevant. I was just saying that all the WORLD CHAMPS are/were from California.

Oh ok, btw I agree California is like the most skilled Smash state ever

I hear this a lot but I don't understand. Would it be just like spamming grab?

Well you can make them pretty dumb if you try because Falcon shuts down Falcon's approaches pretty hard with DD grab and pivot Nair

Especially when you figure out that doing your Nair 2nd almost always kicks them in the junk when they go for a Nair ...

Iono doesn't seem as fun as like ... beating up on Foxes or something haha

 

[Twinkles]

I randomly started watching MachDash

I like his stuff

dd camping. also, tech chase regrabbing. really easy for falcon to regrab himself, pretty sure this is exactly what johnny meant when he referred to himself turning up the gay lol

 

[kyaputenfarukon07]

Dittos can be really gay sometimes

[Warhawk]

you told me that you thought it was even at pound 5.

You changed your mind?

I think he thinks that with most Sheiks it is even because they don't know the matchup but for the ones that do it's slanted in their favor.

 

[odinNJ]

falcon dittos are fun if its not all techchasing and utilts, the stupidest edgeguarder ever, it shouldnt work but it russles me so hard

plzzzz falcons learn to shield drop its super easy and this ***** needs it

 

[Walt]

s2j: bob$ says he'll beat you next time and "I had it! I ****ing had it then I bobacked!"

roughly paraphrased from the last 2 days.

 

[Juggleguy]

You can't spell Boback without Bob

 

[ShroudedOne]

Man, that Bob$ vs S2J set was the most hype thing at that tourney, in my eyes. Then he SD'd. I raged at my computer screen.

 

[S l o X]

guess i missed that match. /:

qft. i just want to repeat it 100x every time i'm commentating johnny

 

[Tee ay eye]

everyone should learn to shield drop

 

[knightpraetor]

i can't tell if falcon's uptilt hits below the stage or not because the animation is weird. As he is finishing the move, the foot falcon is standing on ends up moving upwards in the animation...wth..does falcon levitate at the end of the move? is he just that baller?

 

[Gahtzu]

qft. i just want to repeat it 100x every time i'm commentating johnny

i showed him how to do it at Apex but hes too lazy to burn the motion into his hands. That being said, s2j learn this **** and I promise u will never lose

 

[taylosun]

When would someone use shield drop? I don't really see all too many spots where it would be the safest option. Shield drop uair?

 

[Wenbobular]

Shield dropping gets you out of any pressure situation involving someone jumping above you when you're above a platform

Also gets you punishes when they think you can't retaliate while you're shielding on a platform (i.e. Marth uptilting you on a platform goes from to )

 

[Gahtzu]

So true and once again Falcon absolutely 100% no denying needs this **** ESPECIALLY NOW since its still a new-ish technique and people dont have set punishes for it besides just reacting. Basically its a sick technique thats still unexpected. DONT YOU WANNA BE UNEXPECTED!?

 

[Wenbobular]

It's not even new Shai Hulud(sp?) made a youtube video of it a while back
People are just mad lazy

It's also funny because the controller also determines how easy it is for you to shield drop if you do it by rolling one notch down because on some controllers you can roll it one way and it'll work but not the other, some controllers let you do both ways, and then some controllers ... let you do neither =_=

Probably the reason why I can only shield drop going to the left

Also the thing is once you know about shield dropping and are on the lookout, it's actually not too difficult to bait
Or at the very least, not run into the obvious shield drop setups <_<

 

[Эикельманн [РУС]]

shield dropping truly is lovely. and yeah, shai made a video in like 06 about it lol

For Falcon it makes platform camping better because it gives you another avenue of escape or punish for when they come after you.

 

[Wenbobular]

Platform camping is dumb <_< not a real reason for shield dropping IMO

 

[Gahtzu]

Jeapie where u at

Definitely not the only reason to learn shield dropping, but it does help platform camping if you are ever going to use that strategy.

 

[Wenbobular]

I'm saying platform camping is dumb in general ~_~ if you wanted to do that you'd play Fox or something

 

[ShroudedOne]

Well what about general maneuvering around platforms, say if you want to avoid Falco lasers or something? (though generally, Falcon probably doesn't want to be above people)

 

[knightpraetor]

hmm, i shield dropped about 9 times in real matches lately, but I only got out like 2-3 times. I also shield dropped between marth's uptilt in one match but got caught by the next one. Is there guaranteed to be enough lag to get in even if the marth uses the IASA frames on his uptilt?

worse yet, dropping through a platform with shield drop against marth often gives him an inside uptilt as opposed to tipping it...so it can combo you perfectly:\

 

[LordYggdrasil]

If you shield drop right after the shieldlag you can hit him before he can. That's the best way to use it.

 

[Wenbobular]

Yeah you just have to be mad good at shield dropping
Even if you're 100% only going left while angling your shield or something, it's way better than like ... 75% from anywhere

I pulled a sick shield drop Bair -> Dair as Falco on Bones's Marth ... but then I got too hyped and forgot to jump back haha

Are you saying you hadn't ever seen the Darkrain vs SS set until now?

...

Not sure whether to feel happy for you, or disappointed in you.

..................

Second match was just zero to deaths, back to back....what the hell am I watching...

 

[taylosun]

When was the last time a Falcon ditto happened in a big tournament bracket anyway? It seems like the only active top level Falcons are S2J and kind of Hax.
