I just started using falco and I noticed these are the moves I least use when I play as him, and I'm wondering what I can do with these.

Utilt after a SH nair. Dtilt is rarely used but it is a good surprise maneuver, especially after a SH dair into the stage. Gets your opponent back up quickly. Utilt is more useful for that though. I miss dtilt's melee killing power...

Don't use Dtilt
UTilt you can use after any aerial for good shield pressure. Also good at all percentages to set up into an aerial

Like everybody else has said, uptilt after ariel. I don't know about Dtilt. Maybe when you're Dsmash will take to long to come out,but I don't know if it is faster then your Dsmash.

For dtilts I generally do something like auto canceled nair or dair into jab. If it's sheilded you can dtilt sometimes to catch them off guard or act as a poke so your dsmash doesn't get stale. Dtilt is better in this scenario because it has less ending lag.

Up-Tilt: Racking up damage, stright after Nair
Down-Tilt: Nothing much, suprise attacks can work. but thats probably it.

I miss D-tilts killing power in Melee, then there would be like Fox's up-smash for falco. too bad there isn't much killing power

Dtilt is good if you need priority against characters like Metaknight and Game&Watch with lots of little poke attacks. It tends to clang where Utilt would get punished.
