Help with approaching?

[-kokiri-]

im having trouble approaching (specifically diddy). whenever i come near he will spam the dodge until he gets an opening. do i need to work on my mind games or should i just stay defensive?

 

[Zeallyx]

Stay defensive

 

[-kokiri-]

that leads to banana/peanut spam, so just shield that until he gets bored enough to come near?

Try to get him to approach

but that'll be difficult

Falcon sucks

 

[-kokiri-]

alright i'll work on it.

Down smash him, if he always spot dodges sometimes it'll catch him lingering. covers if he rolls as well.

 

[Lionman]

Nair cancel to utilt

the problem with that is his downsmash is so much faster than mine, so i dont usually get the hit off.

 

[Zeallyx]

Actually charging smashes is a very good way of dealing with spotdodgers

 

[lordhelmet]

Holy **** you guys.

If he's literally spamming spotdodges, just autojab him.

Smash>jab

punish like a boss, not like a ***

Approaching is a myth.
Get in a zone where he's incomfortable and use safe moves (like SH aerials), then when he commits punish with dash attack.

Jab 1 to Jab 2 to Grab to D-throw to U-air to N-air to RAR'd B-Air to Offstage Reversed Falcon Punch.

The Labernash Combo> smash. Punish like a man, not like a boss.

 

[-kokiri-]

and approaching (if needed) from the air is a bad thing right?
because i've got some pretty embarrassing gameplay on youtube of me trying to land on stage with a knee on ICs... like 3 times in a row...

 

[Psychoace]

Don't approach with knee, pretty much ever.

 

[Labernash]

^^^ This. Unless he's offstage, then get ballsy.

Grab the ledge and U-Air if you're trying to get back on.

You could approach with B-Air or N-Air. But, run, jab>grab is better.

Jab 1 to Jab 2 to Grab to D-throw to U-air to N-air to RAR'd B-Air to Offstage Reversed Falcon Punch.

2knee is just happy to witness me.

How does "" say happy

 

[Labernash]

Looked jelly to me.

 

[Zeallyx]

How does an easily seen through psuedo combo beat a charged smash in damage

 

[Labernash]

Taking a stock > dealing 15%

 

[Zeallyx]

Taking a stock > dealing 15%

The point is you won't take that stock that way

Hence the ""

 

[Labernash]

I do that combo ATLEAST twice a match. Takes da stock.

You're just being hurtful.

Play against better players then

 

[Labernash]

Not possible, since I'm the best.

 

[-kokiri-]

working on approaches as we speak. also having trouble with yoshi's grab, just spot dodge it?

 

[Zeallyx]

better =/= best

 

[Labernash]

Spotdodge then jab>grab

better =/= best

I don't know =/= what this means.

But I guess it's a compliment. Thanks!

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

 

[Napos]

B-air works for me

 

[Zeallyx]

You make me sad

 

[Labernash]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Psychoace knows what's up.

You make me sad

sorry <3

 

[Zeallyx]

sorry <3

It's alright.
I think it tells us more about my inability to deal with idiocy than it tells us about your ability to trigger and thus show my aforementioned shortcoming

 

[Labernash]

I agree.

 

[Zeallyx]

I agree.

Then we agree.

Nair seems good. If you overshoot, just cancel your turnaround animation with jab.

 

[Psychoace]

nair is super easy to shield grab most of the time.

 

[Tugnus]

Falling for constant spot dodges isn't a CF approach problem. The problem is your overall gameplay. You would succumb to that tactic even with MK. You need to throw in A LOT more feints. You obviously never jab which is one of Falcon's best moves. A decent way to approach is a well spaced fast fall Uair to Jab/Grab (Mix it up to avoid shield grabs).

But like it has already been said. CF is also just a terrible character. The best option would be "Don't approach", but that is almost impossible with a character with 0 ranged attacks.
