Thank you Based Mimi.
I wanted to say that, but I'm not sure that bringing the fight to the platforms against Falco is the best idea. I'm not sure yet.

IMO, powersheilding works, but im not so good at it as of now, so since ive only been to 2 tournaments, Im basing this off of what happened. Final Destination. I got lasered, i shielded , and got my shield almost gone/grabbed. I float above them, still shot by high laser. Went even higher, then got pillarshined/uaired. And if that didnt happen, i can only float for so long without being daired. Maybe i just had a falco spamming lazers, or there are other ways to deal :p

also, i'd appreciate if you guys checked out my other thread "Critique my Peach?" i have some matches there from no johns, you dont have to critique/watch the match, but id be grateful if you did ^_^

the more you play falcos the easier itll become. it used to really bug me as peach and jiggs now its not nearly as much of an issue. they fly and stuff.

Powershields is not so great for peach if you wanna avoid and then punish lasers. Peach is not so fast so the only punish you get from powershield a laser (most of them time) is that Falco takes a couple damage. Ofc in some situation on close range you can surprise with jump OOS nair or something.

But like pretty much everyone have said I will also say Float. The float is incredibly good to avoid Falcos laser. Just float a little bit over them and the lasers should not be a problem.

i have a question in regards to falco, not his lazers however. but i didnt want to make another thread to ask a single question lol.

his upthrow. for some reason i have a tendency to DI his up throw in the opposite way he is facing, which i know is wrong but for some reason thats what my reflex does lol.

anyways, im just looking for advice in the best way to DI his upthrow.

thanks :)
