    PPMD's Falco Discussion Thread

    Thanks for the info @Bones0 and @Dr Peepee ! I need to work on slight DI during chaingrabs, so this should be a really applicable way to improve on that. Gonna take a look at the Kadano thread in a bit and study up, this matchup can be pretty tricky.

    PPMD's Falco Discussion Thread

    Hey, I had a couple questions regarding Marth's CG punishes on Falco specifically: 1. Once fthrow regrab stops working at super low percent, they start going for regrabs, then up tilts etc. What I want to know is at what percent I can shine out of no DI on the chaingrabs. My gut is telling me...

    PPMD's Falco Discussion Thread

    Sup dude! It was a good set for sure, I just want to get as much as I can out of the loss moving forward. If I can catch onto the timing of grab and just hold shield as long as possible before that happens, I might be able to catch it with a SH dair or something like that. Overall I really...

    PPMD's Falco Discussion Thread

    I hadn't even considered shield DI as a way of getting shine OOS on moves that would otherwise be too far away. That's a really neat idea. I hate to ask a super broad question, but are there any matchups where falco's OOS punishes significantly open up more by incorporating shield DI in/away to...

    Taking a break between bracket matches?

    I had an interesting experience today at a tournament that was rather upsetting. I almost managed to pull a major upset, but ended up throwing away games 2 and 3 and lost the set. All the meanwhile, some guy was loudly cheering for my opponent throughout the entire set. I stood up to unplug my...

    PPMD's Falco Discussion Thread

    To piggyback off the current topic, I had a lot of trouble today getting stuck in shield vs. Sheik during a tournament set tonight. It felt like if I tried to do something like dair OOS to try and punish a spaced fair on my shield, I would just end up getting hit first by something like ftilt or...

    PPMD's Falco Discussion Thread

    Oh yeah, forgot to mention I was neutral lol. I've been told that I play too proactively and often run into things that I could probably avoid by just taking a step back, and I guess the ditto sort of accentuates this hole in my gameplay. Hearing it from you really helps, I'll keep working...

    PPMD's Falco Discussion Thread

    So I went back and watched the vod, and it seemed to be an issue specifically on DL. Reason being the top plat is low enough and far enough from the corner for him to fullhop aerial from the corner. To be more specific, the scenario would usually play out in one of two ways: 1. If I was on top...

    PPMD's Falco Discussion Thread

    Definitely haven't been utilizing platforms enough in the matchup now that you bring it up. Side plats vs her seem really intuitive since lasers threaten the space in front/above her. Common knowledge always tells me that being above Peach means you're in a good spot, but whenever I try to...

    shine oos

    I actually shine out of shield my flicking the analog stick up to tap jump out of shield, and then slamming it right back down and pressing B to get a grounded shine. It was really easy for me to pick up because it's similar to the way I perform double laser from the ledge. You're gonna get a...

    PPMD's Falco Discussion Thread

    Hey, does anyone have any general tips for dealing with Peach float when she's right above SH laser height? The only 2 ways I've found of dealing with it somewhat effectively is 1) sharking with SH up air and 2) dash dancing at a reactable distance and whiff punishing an FC aerial with laser...

    playing that one campy dude

    When I was watching the set, I noticed you were fsmashing pretty liberally. A lot of the time it would result in you getting shield grabbed, and we all know how devastating it is to get grabbed by fox in this matchup. When you approached with lasers, a lot of the time your opponent would just...

    What other fighting games catch your interest besides Smash?

    Skullgirls is a lot of fun. I feel like people who are fans of Melee would get a lot out of it since the game's combo system allows a lot more freedom than most traditional fighters.

    Yoshi or ICs?

    Just wondering, but how proficient are you at shield dropping? It's an incredible tool for yoshi since he can't jump out of shield and also doesn't suffer from shield stun when he shields an attack.

    Can't stop jumping when wavedashing

    Plenty of characters make some sort of sound even if the wavedash is frame perfect. Sheik and Samus immediately come to mind. If the OP mains Sheik, then there's nothing wrong with him using the audio cues to practice wavedashing. Btw I love your videos <3 Anyways, if you keep getting a jump in...
