You must understand that when the opponent is offstage, there is not much they can do, even if they read you. If they airdodge, they die. and if they counter with another move, it will most likely result in their death too.
When you get the opponent offstage, falcon is a beast. But getting them offstage is the problem >.<
Yes, a DA can setup for quite some gimps, but, the DA is a risky move and all follow ups can be airdodged without them taking a big risk of SDing.
And I've been wanting to ask you, how's your hand now? Is it getting better already (maybe you're not yet able to brawl, but I mean less pain, more things you canalready do etc.
)
