hi, long time no see I wanted to ask about how falcos use uair shine for pillar combos instead of the traditional dair shine. why do they do this? what are uair's advantages/disadvantages over using dair? another, maybe too broad of a question but i tend to drop combos after about 2 hits in...

What do I do vs falcon when he tech chases me, I feel like no matter if I tech in place, roll in, roll away, they just always catch my tech option, it's probably that im just too predictable but I don't know how to break those habits

Why am I so awful at the video game super smash bros melee? everytime I play the game, after every session I am always so depressed and feel like im useless. I suck so bad at understanding neutral, punishing, edgeguarding, recovering, acting oos, attacking on shield, positioning, everything...

Yo, I've noticed that one of my worst habits is that I always just do the typical aerial in (no over/undershoot) and it makes my neutral game awful lol What did you do to add more variety to your approaches?

Hi, long time no post I wanted to know how you do platform tech chases after a shine, I seem to always overcommit by shining way to early (expecting to shine them before they land on the platform) I've tried things like wavelanding and double jump dair but I just don't have a confident method...

Hey PP and falco thread, long time no talk Recently I've been struggling with implementing overshoots and undershoots. My question is what are some more ways of over and undershooting that aren't just wavedash forward and then throw out an aerial for overshoot and fade back aerials for...

I've heard things about only dash dancing a maximum of 2 times before you approach because any more than that and your opponent can just react and punish. Is this really the case? If so, why do people sometimes dash dance for longer? I also have a hard time dealing with players who overshoot...

What do you think about dair > utilt at like 10-30% where you have enough hitstun to reliably combo into it but before knockdown %'s does shine almost always have better combo potential in these scenarios or is utilt better as a mixup to read DI away and combo into fsmash? I ask this because I...

Thank you heaps, just a couple questions though. Are you talking about on hit here or on shield? Also what would I do against sh rising nair > shine, can i shine oos between the moves? Why do they have to do a heavy mixup in that situation, could you give an example of a heavy mixup in that...

Hey, its been a bit. How do I deal with Fox's short hop aerials/shine pressure, I feel like the better Fox players in my region do this a lot vs me and I don't understand what to do against it

Not Falco specific but how do I enjoy analysis more, a lot of the time I do analysis it just makes me wanna play and by the end of game 1 I just kinda get bored. What are some ways to help me enjoy analysis more?

Not necessarily a falco question but I wanted to know more about playstyles. I always hear that "Melee offers the player so many ways to play" but the only playstyles I'm aware of are aggressive and defensive lol. I feel like this is probably why I still don't know what my own playstyle is so...

Thank you. Something I've recently added to my daily execution practice is corner pressure where I just repeat fade back dair, sh high bair, utilt and dashback laser/laser in place in any order in centre stage. I was wondering if there was anything else I should throw in there?

Hey PP, I just wanted to ask what is your most common type of laser to use in neutral. I know lasers are situational but which one comes up in most neutral scenarios? Edit: I just realised this is probably a matchup based question lol so lets just say in the fox matchup

What are the most common options people do out of laser at low-mid level of play? I think it would be like Shield and Jump right, otherwise they just get stuck in movement? And then dashback and CC would become more common at mid level?
