hey blea, my comments below. will edit with more in due time. vs chillin: i'm going to go ahead and agree with blueEG's point on fireball usage vs. fox's recovery. i think the main issue is its recovery time. every once in a while i definitely believe that its a useful mixup, even versus...

excuse the errant double post.

after extended work in the lab, a few highlights and new ideas for everyone to consider with these concepts in mind: we all need to be dash dancing, and a LOT more. this is something i've rediscovered after initially ignoring DD at large because of preconceived notions concerning the viability...

Does anyone know exactly why the first two jabs cancel momentum? It reminds me a lot of Amsah teching or something, where the momentum is applied afterwards.

Favorite tech traps vs. both spacies and floaties?

Everyone needs to go watch the VODs from that most recent SSS (I've linked top 3), Johnny was doing some ridiculous stuff as was mentioned. A lot to dissect and learn from here.

I really like Jason's Falcon, he's (of course) so on point with those re-grabs. He gets them when I never would have considered going for a grab in the first place. He can convert, too! Also had a very nice offstage dair (near) gimp early on in that match with PPMD I believe, around 8:27...

Usually if I powershield an aerial or grounded attack I'll go straight into Gentleman's, to try and get something prettier going. How about instant up-air and nair? Might be options.

Anyone have any advice for the Lucario match-up? I can't seem to convert much off my throw opportunities on him, and any time I get hit once it leads to a 5 hit combo, me off-stage.

Have any Falcons here experimented with stuff like up-throw > stomp? I figure this is a good way to rack damage while putting the opponent into another teching situation flat on the ground, maybe even allowing for a missed tech punish after the fact. Thoughts?

Hey Falcons. I went to my first local tournament recently and I had a lot of fun, played a ton of Melee, and placed pretty decently. When reflecting on what I could have done better in my matches, one thing stuck out: my reads. In friendlies with training partners and friends, I make my reads...

I've been loving the gimping potential Diddy has, but mostly I've been relying on stuff like banana toss > dash attack > down air, and I'm looking to mix it up. What are some of your guys' favorite gimp setups?

Wooow, Smoke2Johnnies at this evening's Super Smash Sunday! (Spoilers ahead.) Such clean play, that combo into stomp off-stage versus Plup's Fox. Got damn. Game three versus Lucky in Grand Finals on Yoshi's... Good lord. After dropping two games this man regained momentum furiously and just went...

Interesting idea on using Z, I feel like I've seen slight rumblings of this technique before, but never implemented it myself. Any thoughts on Z usage for other situations where getting an aerial out quickly is key? (Maybe stomp/knee from ledge, nair spacing?)

Congratulations to both of y'all. Keep grinding. Got another question. Improving my micro game as Falcon. Where do I get started? Gentleman's is an obvious one, however beyond that I sometimes find myself panicking in close-up situations if I've whiffed an aerial, expecting a punish. My pivot...
