Back during the Apex 2015 days, what drove you to win? I feel like there is a difference between wanting to be your best and wanting to win. Sometimes I stop caring about winning because the drive to win can be overwhelming and an obstacle to progress. Yet, I would think that not caring also...

I do not think that being on a platform against Puff is a good idea at all. At a low level, maybe it can be good since Puff probably won't time her upairs well. Around mid level, Puff will time her upair to hit after your in-place dair or will shark your dropthrough. Every Puff expects Falco to...

Laser, and practice your post-laser options. Dash Dance forward or back, laser in place, approaching laser, sh aerial, etc. If you want to sh aerial, make sure to overshoot it, as almost any character will dash back. I think the default should be to overshoot aerials, but undershoot can be good...

I've been practicing double shining using the X-to-B slide for well over a year, but perfect Shine OoS has been extremely difficult. I always find myself jumping too high out of shield, and I know I'm not the only spacie who does this. Instead of doing the slide technique, try hitting up on the...

i know this thread is ancient but you should DEFINITELY eat lasers. It's of course better to powershield or whatever, but realistically you're gonna get lasered a ton and getting stuck in shield is exactly what Falco WANTS you to do. Beat Falco by booting up Uncle Punch, going to the Powershield...

Falco's grabs are extremely good in the sense that he can get many grabs while establishing and improving positional control, but are bad in the traditional sense due to no follow-up flow chart. In (((simpler))) cases, grab can be utilized to mix-up the pressure game. F-throw is an excellent...

Hey PP -- what's your thought process for out of shield options in the ditto? I feel really oppressed by a half decent falco, and whenever I try to laser out of shield to reestablish control, I get hit in the face.

i watch anything wizzrobe s2j and none put out. The former two put out more guides, while the latter you have to learn through osmosis. But no the character is wildly better than in 2016.

I mean Ghatzu thinks so because falcon has the most universally destructive punish game, but to be honest I feel like Falcon’s neutral tools are totally outclassed by sheik falco fox puff and Marth. And frankly that truly perfect combo game is no too far off in difficulty from the Fox TAS...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xV-_DkpWu_s I would check out some old westballz vs. leffen videos to get a really good idea of how to move around on battlefield. The gist is you want to shine -> wd towards where you hit them -> immediately shine them again -> wd down towards the closest...

I wanted to ask you how to approach 50/50s, because recently I am really feeling on my back foot/like a big dummy whenever I am adapting to my opponent. I outlined an example below. Scenario where you are getting techchased by Marth, specifically after Falco does a tech roll. If Falco dashback...

PP, what's the benefit of moving under a platform to laser? Do you just mean back up to establish solid laser pressure?

Might be late to the party, but having mental endurance in melee (at least for me) is correlated to the state of your health. If you're sleeping poorly, not eating well, are dehydrated, or are out of shape, your brain will tire out far easier. There have been multiple times where I've been...

Hey y'all. Putting some thoughts to the board since I've been thinking about this matchup a ton. I think it's super easy to get discouraged when playing against a decent Marth, especially at a low level where it's easy to feel that you die every time you get touched. Though Marth's punish game...
