Anyone notice how when you start with falco, your at least alright.

But then you start playing fox for a bit.

And when you decide to play Falco again you suck? O_o

i think my main problem when moving from fox back to falco is the diference in wavedash...
with fox your tapping as fast as you possibley can almost... and then with falco you have to actually time a little bit... wich is easy when you warm up with falco, but after an intense 24 hour fox session, falco feels a lot bigger and heavier if you catch my drift....

whats different for me is the shorthop difference.
true but if you just use the same pressure and speed when u use falco as when you use fox it doesnt matter...
but if you cant actually short hop with fox its a bit harder i spose....

the timing is a little different for waveshining, and l-cancelling, but thats about it. there just a different character thats all. you shouldnt suck switching chars, and if you do, stick to one

I have trouble with the speed difference. When I play as Fox, I make commands quicker because Fox is faster and does things faster, but when I go back to Falco, I would input too many commands at once and Falco wouldn't do them, because I do the commands at the wrong time. Like for shl, with Fox, you can fire it quicklier, but for Falco you have to time it differently.

So for me, it's speed difference and timing. (Those things can be considered the same though...) :/

i main fox, but almost every time i use falco just to mess around i can only WD like 1 out of 3 times lol. i cant waveshine anywhere near as well with falco either and the last thing for me is that i forget falco's usmash is far worse than fox's rofl.

yeah, the biggest problem for me is getting used to switching from fox's SHDL to falco's SHL, with the SHL being low enough to hit smaller characters.

nah i just mean in the way i press the button.

i slide my thumb off of it real quick, instead of press it with the middle of my thumb and having to worry about how fast i hit it. its just how i got used to it.
thats not cheap just smart.
sometimes i play falco just messing around and he feels way too slow and i feel cheap running away watching them suffer under a rain of lazers
