Thanks for all of the Shiek edge guarding advice, coincidentally Kira just made a guide on it and even uses Falco for most of his examples. If anyone's interested in watching the video I provided the link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=820utmlAqnU

Thanks it was very helpful, can't wait to read the whole thing!

How effective is using an f-smash or d-smash to punish expected recoveries? Does Sheik die from one move more than the other? It seems to be that when I edge guard her I just hit her to the other side of the stage and I have to rinse and repeat. Also, if Sheik beats me to the ledge is it just...

My issue is specifically killing her. I am able to get her offstage easily, because I usually get a nice combo in, but once she's at higher percents she just flies offstage and is still alive. I feel like i'm just repeatedly fishing for strong bairs until she finally dies.

Does anyone have any tips on killing Sheik? I can combo her fairly well, but I always have a difficult time closing the stock because she lives to such high percents.

Whenever I use D-throw against fox I noticed that under 40% both falco and fox can challenge each other with a shine, so it is all about being faster. Above 40% though, fox is usually knocked slightly out of falco's shine range so it is more difficult to follow up. I attempt to read their DI...

Can fox jump out or escape an U-throw follow up at certain percents? If so would that mean D-throw has a better chance at follow-ups than an U-throw at this percent?

Did Armada just completely neglect to DI in this situation? I think that D-throw is a good mix-up near the ledge, because it can set up a really nice DI trap if the opponent is expecting B-throw or F-throw. This gfy is a perfect example of that imo.

How useful is d-throw against fox? I know he can't tech it because of his weight, so would that mean at lower percents reading which way fox DI's could result in a punish? I think it would be most effective on a platform while fox is at a lower percent, because it would be much easier to react...

Does anyone have advice on how to properly play the falco ditto? I'm not familiar with defensive opportunities or even how to properly deal with getting lasered. I know the punish game is similar to playing against fox, but is there anything unique to playing against another falco?
