While this is true, it may not be quite accurate. 'Skill' is a very strange term and can be defined in many ways. Some players are technical and others not. The phrase 'equal amount of skill' doesn't really work because some skills are better than others. I think that a Ness that is trained in...

While the video is certainly not getting an Oscar, it's not a stinker. It does confirm things for some people. In my case, I found it useful because it confirmed what I was thinking about the knee being about timing rather than a 'spot'. And, ya know, watching Snake get owned is fun.

I hadn't been sure what the exact hitbox was. I'm glad you showed that it is a timing thing! I'll try to work a few (but not too many) into my gameplay.

Well, you leave a lot of openings in your style, and you seem to depend on the knee a bit much, as well as your falcon punch. I don't think you quite have the Captain's rhythm down yet, but I would encourage you to keep with it if you want to be a CF main.

While it seems that it might be a basic idea, in my experience backthrowing Squirtle and then getting some distance, charging, then dash attacking, followed up by a falcon kick tends to disorient the other player just enough for you to get a D-smash. Alternatively, AAA combo can work on...

Welcome back, G-Reg. Can't wait to play you at one of the upcoming tourneys in some Falcon Dittoes. Best of luck!

I tend to get at least two of the Up B's off when I'm being chased in midair off the stage. Just because it's not easy to land doesn't mean it's unfeasible. The attack still has solid priority and is relatively quick to pull out. It's not a bad move, and it's not the key to the city of I-win...

Hm. Interesting how all of Falcon's specials can flip around. Looks solid for one-on-ones, but I think this might actually be a really nice teams find. If one teammate is on guard for a raptor boost and all of a sudden the other gets it...that might mess up their flow and give a serious...

Right. The UpB move is good, but it's not a game by itself. It can change flow, like Wolf's Shine, but it's not a game-strategy. I am a ground-first Falcon. I do have a good Air Falcon, but I was a Bad Melee player, and so my Falcon started off as a groundie. That actually ended up being to my...

It's also a very nice move that comboes into itself. If you're quick, you can land three or four of these on an unsuspecting enemy. It messes with their heads and leaves them with a lot more damage. Also, when an enemy is just barely on the screen, like when you Fsmash them and they're...

There is a difference between playing defensive and playing Safe. Now, Falcon is a character you must be safe while playing, but his strength is in his quick offense. He can rack up damage quick, and can execute if a smash is pulled off at the right time (throws are a GOOD thing for Falcon, his...

"TIRES DON EXITS!" Well, the Tier system is generally based on tournaments, so if you want him high, win with him. That's what we can do. He's a character you have to learn, but what you learn from him can be used so well on so many other characters. I am a Falcon main and I have no...

Alright, so, with your match against Mario, you were smart to be cautious, but you need to also approach. Your technical knowledge is shown very well, but you need to press your speed against Mario. DI unexpectedly, and don't let them see your hesitation. Your Ground game is decent, could use...

Fun Tourney, met a lot of people and had a lot of fun! Can't wait until next tourney. - One thing I think we should definitly change about the tournament structure this time is that Sudden Death should be allowed as opposed to percentage. At first glance, this sounds like it would favor...

Good Falconing, you know your technical stuff, but you sometimes go a bit out of your way to footstool hop. The Marth could stand to do a bit more down smashing and forward air. You might benefit from some Falcon kick and Raptor Boost. Otherwise, good job.
