    Is Hbox the GOAT?

    It seems like a number of the old players are b*tching out of Melee now that they can't compete with Hungrybox. I used to think the younger players would usher in a new era but some of the best ones haven't been competing either. In my opinion, anyone that hasn't won a supermajor with Hungrybox...

    Good Secondaries for Falco?

    Not from a short hop, and not when they're trying to dash in to attack or grab, will this matter. It's really not that bad, no worse than Phantasm endlag. Really dude, you should give it a spin against CPU opponents to test this out. Dedicate some matches to relying heavily on Reflector as an...

    Q&A Ultimate Falco: Gameplay & General Discussion

    They're both equally difficult, and at this point, it isn't clear whether they even fill different niches, so you should honestly just try both and stick with whomever feels better. Because they certainly do have nuances that distinguish one from the other, but these do not seem to translate...

    Good Secondaries for Falco?

    10 seconds in and I already have advice: use the Reflector as an attack; it's your farthest hitbox. Also consider using Laser more than you do in order to pressure the opponent in to approaching you. Then punish with said Reflector. But really, use the Reflector any chance you get. It's like...

    SSBU... Sakurai still let us PM players down

    One of your complaints is that recoveries are too strong in this game. My opinion is that the recoveries being strong is not the main issue and shouldn't be the primary focus. Instead, you should look toward mechanics like ledge trumping. Ledge trumping and the like are what really prolong the...

    SSBU... Sakurai still let us PM players down

    Take Villager for example. One of the farthest recoveries in the game, but hardly safe and not dangerous. Unless your character has a sword, you'd be hard-pressed to release ledge and pop their balloons without missing one or allowing Villager to take the ledge you've left open. However, if you...

    imo remove ledge trumping and recoveries are no longer an issue

    How to Play Neutral As Falco?

    @tokenturtle nair has a shorter range, little better combo potential, and fewer hits. Fair should be a better option, especially if the last landing hitbox in tr4sh has not been removed. Hit them with it again. Then gauge how they've reacted. They'll probably get frustrated and charge with dash...

    How to Play Neutral As Falco?

    @tokenturtle you aren't committing to grab enough. Yes, you can get shield-grabbed, but usually people wait for the dash attack. If they keep shieldgrabbing your grab attempt, mix up with short hop fair, and try pulling it back. Yes, use the reflector to stuff approaches and to hit mid range...
