There really is no exact reason. The biggest thing is lack of usage and skill. Very few people use Falco to the best of his ability. I would say that about no more than a dozen people right now, attend the large tourneys and place well. Most all seem to be on the west coast and only able to attend a few of the large tourneys across the nation. While there are dozens and dozens of other people to represent Snake, Wario, DDD, MK, etc.
Never do. I could never time it right, so I gave up on it and resorted to Bair guarding and egdehogging to finish them off.
People can seriously DI the trap a lot easier than the spike. I can DI normally and hit the stage in time to tech, I am just so surprised with the trap I fail to tech. I believe the trap also sends them to a greater degree under the stage to recovery a lot easier.
I always shield if it is in close range. If not, and I see it coming a mile away, I'll try to SHDL or reflect. But that is a bad match up I have personally so I prefer to use CP snake against him.
Shielding works, you just have to make sure you don't eat 2 tornados in a row or else you will lose the shield. Also to prevent poking you have to angle the shield upwards. I see so few people do this when I use MK.
I need to do that more often. I typically SHDL most often, but remember to use the shine occasionally.
The owner of the thread didnt' type it right, so we just left it there. As inside joke we try to act like it was never spelt wrong.
What was spelled wrong?
I have no idea.
You're darn right you don't.
You seem upset.
Rofl bowssssssss
That is because you can use any aerial to momentum cancel. For vertical all you have to do is FF an aerial. The FF is the most important part of vertical momentum canceling, so that is why any aerial can be used. For horizontal momentum cancelling you want to use the fastest aerial and 2nd jump. That is' falco's best method horizonally. FFing here really doesn't do anything. And Bair happens to be Falco's fastest aerial. But for simplistic purposes most people use C-stick down since that always does a FF with Dair. And Dair is like falco's second fastest aerial. So it's an okay substitute for Bair on horizontal momentum canceling.
Try to edit posts if you have more to say if your post is the last one instead of using another post. Just pointing that out.
SDI to ledge tech?
OH MY GAWD. I'm sorry, but I need to flame you!!! (I won't though)
SDI to ledge tech?
Reflexes bro.
The Klap Trap is hurt worse than whoever is getting spiked. Sensitive teeth and all.
Nope. Don't ask about it.
you don't need to DI to tech a stagespike
Hey, I wouldn't go and say that. Falco does have standing CGs against a few people, but the situations are limited. For one, Falco has it against the fast fallers, if I recall. Shiek, wolf and fox, but they pretty much have to be buffered. So it is easier to just walk CG them instead. Also, if you BPG pikachu, TL or DDD so you slide to the very edge of the stage, you can stand CG them for awhile before they do the whole splat thing. Easiest to LL pikachu, DDD and TL from the splat on pictochat. So I typically try to CP against them on pictochat if I am using falco still and JJ was banned.
Can't you DI in a way that will allow you to land on the stage itself instead of having to resort to teching? I swear I remember SK92 mentioning that sometime ago.
Its a great way of retreating and pew pewing 
I rather reverse them, as random phantasms (doesnt happen that often
) are often a positive thing seeing that nobody sees it coming.
Yes, yes I do. That's how I've always done my retreating lasers.
But Phantasming off the stage accidentally = instafail.I rather reverse them, as random phantasms (doesnt happen that often
Unpredictability = instawin
That's basically what it comes down to, just whatever you find easier.
I really love the *wheeeey boost*.
The first one is B-reversal, the second one is Wavebouncing.
Wait, so wavebouncing is the one where you turn around and fire your lasers, but you still keep momentum going in the direction your initial dash was before you turned around?
Ahh I see.
