and eRonin: raptor boost recovering against mario isn't the right thing to do
cape = omgwtfbbq
Quoted for truth. I play against a good Mario user, and he is extremely dangerous to Falcons when trying to recover. Raptor Boost should
never be used to recover unless you are much higher than Mario, and I'd be wary of even using them on the level, because you can easily be caped into raptor boosting straight off the level. My best way of recovering I've found is to either recover as high as possible (sucks I know, but it's better than death by cape) or actually go below the stage, and then Falcon Dive backwards. They usually won't try to cape it (or will miss trying to anticipate you recovering earlier), and if they ledgehog, Falcon Dive will usually fold up and over the level (awkwardly).
Also, you can try shaking things up if you know you're going to be caped, and raptor boost or Falcon dive in the
opposite direction. It's worth a shot if you know you're going to be caped
