Just wondering what the adept falco users out there find to be a better tech for falco
personally i prefer the old short hop single laser as it was quicker at shooting at ground level but explain ur choices plz

and yea yea i know, brawl is brawl, melee is melee theres no point in looking back blah blah blah
no flaming plz this is just to see people's preferences

edit- shdl does not have a fast fall

i much prefer the old SHFFL over the new double, simply because i find it quicker and easier to pull off. =/ but that might just be me.

i prefer melee's, even in this one, ill single laser it, first one never hits anyways. unless they in the air coming down, then ill double laser it

To me, SHDL isn't useful at all unless you're camping or you just wanna keep your opponent at bay.

the SHL was a lot faster, useful, applied certain mindgames (blank shots), and combo'd real easily.

I have limited experience with Falco (play fox mostly) but I've found both SHDL and a single laser both useful. They're situational. Some characters naturally end up in the air more, like a Marth player, and they will often jump into the first shot of a DL. If I'm playing someone who is more restricted to the ground then the single is easier for me to pull off.
