    PPMD's Falco Discussion Thread

    Hallo! Been having lots of fun and success since we last talked, playing reactively off lasers that have a bit of distance with my opponent is great I find myself noticing now little people do this whenever I watch other Falcos play lol. My question is about getting the first laser out. I find...

    Is laser > stand still an alternative to laser > dash back or are they mostly for different situations? I remember you saying you like laser > stand still vs Sheik, do you sometimes like it vs Marth or are you generally not landing lasers in a range where standing still would be better than...

    PPMD's Falco Discussion Thread

    Hallo So I've been working on reducing my usage of two main options, full approaching laser and immediate laser in place after a laser. I think I understand in theory why this playstyle in powerful but in practice the game almost feels harder cause I'm not just giving my opponent free execution...

    PPMD's Falco Discussion Thread

    Hallo, Curious about how much waiting is too much vs Marth. If I laser > wait vs Marth (dash forward, wait, dash back) and I don't see something obvious to bite at I might want to setup another laser but since lasers take so long and I've wasted my frame advantage it feels like a tricky...

    PPMD's Falco Discussion Thread

    I have a few clips but they're all short. Alright I'm trying to play neutral the way your describe and I'm starting to eliminate a lot of the bad options I did that didn't allow me to react or be proactive in the first place but I'm having trouble knowing exactly what to look for in some spots...

    PPMD's Falco Discussion Thread

    Ah yeah I need to incorporate standing still into my "waiting" options. Cool. Edit: (If I'm posted twice in a row is it best to just edit my last message? lol) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrp9lZvmwb8&feature=youtu.be&list=PL3h4WCDXJCNJYGpaAT7ROddcZs5umIuZG&t=151 Here's an example of...

    PPMD's Falco Discussion Thread

    "I tend to prefer dashing back there the majority of the time in case Marth swings or dashes back." Makes sense vs Marth as those two options are def the most common. How about vs Sheiks? Dash back beats take laser Ftilt and shield laser rising early aerial but is kinda tricky vs her jump when...

    Ah ok I resonate with everything despite me not having asked a question lol. https://clips.twitch.tv/MushyWildCheesecakeOptimizePrime How do you feel about this juggle sequence? I tend to tell myself to juggle "from the ground" vs low % opponent since fh Bair isn't really scary and might...

    PPMD's Falco Discussion Thread

    Hallo :o https://clips.twitch.tv/PlainExpensiveRaccoonBigBrother Kinda wanna talk about decisions at ranges like this. I did laser > dash forward > laser in place x 3 > half approaching laser (which he powershields but its not that big a deal as I’m out of range of PS > grab / fair). I think...

    PPMD's Falco Discussion Thread

    Yeah I'm mostly talking about the ground game but basically my understanding of what to do in the different modes (having laser control, not having laser control, fighting for laser control) feels a lot better now than it used to. Having laser control in general has been feeling a lot better...

    PPMD's Falco Discussion Thread

    My understanding is that his high laser is going over Marth's head when Marth dash attacks. And thanks! Westballz is actually so good on the top platform lol. I feel like I’m spooked and threatened the whole time and if I jump to hit him he’s either shielding ready to shield drop shine or he...

    Third Post: Fthrow vs Marth I think there’s def something there, Fthrow seems better than I used to think actually. I played Macd’s Falco of all things with secondaries like Marth or Peach and he does a ton of Fthrow > approaching sh fair or something and he caught me a surprising amount of...

    Second Post: Marth on the ledge Yeah this scenario is annoying to solve because in high pressure tournament situations it’s so much easier to just walk to center and hope Marth gets off lmao. I’ve done the crouch you thing you described and it’s def amazing at times but I ran into the same...
