What is Falco's goal when Puff is in shield? I know I want to get some type of opening but I'm not sure how. What does short hop up-air in neutral accomplish versus Puff who is a bit higher than short hop laser range. Does it do anything other than damage? What is your strategy for avoiding a...

What should you do if Puff does a laggy move on your shield at low percent and she lands next to you? Same situation as above but what if you are facing away from her? What do you think about using full hop dair in neutral against Puff once dair can start knocking down?

When I am offstage recovering about side platform height and Peach hits me with a turnip, is there anything I can do to avoid Peach's aerial afterwards? I'm not close enough to airdodge on stage. What should I do if Peach is approaching while floating at laser height but I don't have time to...

When I launch Peach towards the top of the blastzone, I'm trying to firebird into Peach to secure the kill. Recently I have been getting hit by Peach's bair and I don't trade. I'm not sure if I should continue with the firebird or if I should try to aim for Peach's feet. Even if I do get hit, we...

Let's say Peach is trying to up-b from below the stage sweetspot and the Falco does the walk forward down smash/ forward tilt. Should Falco be reacting to Peach's up-b or is it a read on their timing? If Peach does the lowest up-b, can Falco still punish? On FD when Peach is floating above...

When Marth forward/back/down throws me at low percent, I'm not sure which direction I should generally be teching towards. Should I tech towards stage or to the ledge. Should I even have a preference? How do I safely reset neutral when I am on side platform and Marth is holding center. I...

What is the best way to utilize my invincibility against Marth who is moving around the platform? I used to try to shoot lasers on the ground in case they drop down but they remain on the platform. I'm not sure whether I should my invincibility to gain a positional advantage or to try to get a...

How can I edgeguard a Peach who is floating parallel to the stage? I was thinking about just holding the ledge and double jump bair when she gets close. I'm concerned about me missing the bair and getting hit by her parasol. How do you deal with Falcon on the top platform? Most Falcons leave...

How do you avoid Marth's forward throw runoff fair edgeguard? How to deal with Marth using lightshield when Falco is shield pressuring? I want to grab but the last move I did on Marth's shield pushes them so far back that I am no longer in range to grab. I then feel like if I want to continue...

What's the purpose of Falco's lasers in neutral in the Fox matchup. I hear the purpose is to lockdown Fox, but when I watch high-level Falco Fox I rarely see Falcos get a direct punish because Foxes are always moving away when they get hit. When Fox is below Battlefield, can only firefox...

When I shoot Fox with a close laser but I'm not close enough to shine, I want to do an immediate aerial/grab but I'm getting hit by Fox's take laser shine. I'm not sure what to do. I want to do an immediate option to not let the Fox jump or dashback. I'm scared of waiting a bit or else Fox can...

I heard you talked to Kodorin about the space Falco should be standing against Marth in neutral. I think it's around a Falco roll distance away. Can you speak about why this spacing is good? I haven't seen any Falco utilize this space. Are there any vods you can recommend of Falcos using this...

There are certain matchups I can't win unless I remain discipline and setup advantageous positions before I approach. After I win a few games, I want to skip the setup and just approach which results in me losing. It then becomes difficult to switch my mindset. How can I improve my discipline...

Hello! I'm not sure what's the purpose of Falco utilizing a short or long dash dance How useful do you think running crouch in neutral against Marth is? I find that I can crouch cancel Marth's dash attack and fair. It loses to grab and sometimes nair. Nair only sometimes, because if the Marth...

After not taking Melee seriously for a year, I started trying these past 3 months. I thought it was going to take a few months to start seeing results but 2 months in I started getting ranked wins. This was very unexpected. My mentality used to be that wins don't matter and improvement is the...
