As タオー said, DD for Fox and space Nair + Raptor Boost + Powershield for Falco. It's obviously much more complicated than that, but you want to have an easy guideline for this type of MU: Don't go for edgeguards unless you're sure you can cover their options easily Techchase, techchase...

For regular instant uairs, I use Y and cstick up, but for uairs OoS, double tap the cstick up very fast and light, you'll get a very fast uair OoS. This method caused me the least hand pain after hours of practice, and is also, for me at least, the most reliable. As far as OoS aerial options...

So, while practicing some, I started looking at the frame data while doing some edge-guarding options. I found that doing the really fast back air that snaps on to ledge as soon as you're done is only invincible for about half of it (I think that if it was TAS, it might be invincible for 90% of...

I used to struggle with my practice partner who played falco, and my win percent was around 40%. I hated this matchup so much that I just didn't like playing with him anymore, and I felt cornered in the entire stage. Then it hit me: - Use up air and nair to cover your airspace If the falco is...

1st hit nair can be used for a grab setup, or for a gentleman. Second hit is used for, as you said, combos. The big difference is the timing, as with 1st hit nair you have to fastfall it, and by doing that you effectively cut off about a third of the time the hitbox is out. During neutral, a...

sigh... RIP falcon board mods 2011 - 2016

Well, the different grabs have different uses: JC grab leaves you with much less lag (you should never do regular grab really) Boost grab or DAC grab reaches a little bit farther, but leaves you with an immense amount of lag. IIRC this is the grab you use for the marth chaingrab. The other main...

That's what I thought. Could definitely be used for style tho

Same. If you can get in contact with Victra that would be great, but where are the other mods, and what's their opinion on all this? I've been writing notes for matchups and tech for a long time before I even started posting here (like a lot of people) so I think the guide should be pretty...

Hmm... That looks pretty sick, but I don't know if it would be practical outside of using it for ramen noodle edgeguards. Whenever new stuff is discovered two things are to be asked: How hard is it to do consistently? and How practical is it? If you can answer those two questions, then you...

Haven't seen/heard of Victra in a loooooong time. Don't know if he's still a mod. It would be really helpful if he is, but what's our backup plan in the case that he isn't anymore/he's not planning on being active? Just pray? And as for the guide that could get stickied, i'm totally up for it...

Now, my question is: how do we start? I have all these ideas and more than that, I have a whole lot of motivation and free time. (and as a board I think all of us could contribute). But how? Has a big change/cleanup ever been done before? I don't recall seeing one in my time, but maybe one...

Amazing. I never thought about the fact that the documentary had anything to do with it, but now it all makes sense. I think that 2 things should be done for making this change, but we would need incredibly high cooperation of the mods of the board, and I don't think they would make such a big...

Hi board, I'm Valor, a kinda new Falcon main looking not for help in my playstyle or on how to deal with things (because holy moly like 80% of the board is now literally this), but I am instead looking for help in answering one question: Where did our community go? I've only joined as a member...

Exactly this. I personally think FoD and FD aren't advantageous with him. But then again FoD can net some really early kills off of a single DI mixup knee, and FD has the conditions for making the 0-death techchases/combos that every falcon strives for. I would also consider the player's...
