First, you do a short hop and at the PEAK of your jump, do two lasers in a row really fast.

This is how I do it on a gc controller:
1. Dash
2. Press c-stick down
3. Immediately after step 2, press up on analog+Z at the same time

You can hold down Z longer to charge the usmash.

OMG, really? You just made my Falco 50 times better!!!! XD XD XD

 

[saviorslegacy]

lol, 8AngeL8 was just joking.

 

[saviorslegacy]

Wow, that was wierd. Angel and I posted at like the same time. :/

 

[8AngeL8]

^ZOMG DOUBLE POST MODS COMING TO **** YOU!

It's still hilarious that he took me and Mithx seriously.

 

[Mith_]

And the thread is 17 pages but questions on the first page were answered.
I smell a troll.

 

[8AngeL8]

Maybe he only read the first page and didn't notice the other 16? Lol, it's possible...

 

[Denzi]

Back on topic plz.

kthxbai

Edit: ****, waste of 800th post

 

[K 2]

How do I do that reverse/pivot wave/boost grab thing?

 

[Mith_]

LOL SUCKS FOR U MAN XD

@K 2: its somewhere here in this topic. denzi posted it. i think its on page 15 iirc.

 

[B0mbe1c]

LOL page 15 ok, I'll go check there. xD


Im just joking Mith. :3

K_2: You have to do a regular pivot grab, but think you have to press Z later than usual to get the sliding effect. Eh, I honestly dont know, but that should be some help.

 

[K 2]

Ah, sorry I didn't read 17 pages of posts/250 posts before posting my question, my bad.

Right here. omg 4th time copying & pasting this.

Man Denzi, you are having a hay day with that lolz

 

[Denzi]

Man Denzi, you are having a hay day with that lolz

I was wondering if anyone would catch that

 

[8AngeL8]

We should sticky just that post...

 

[Denzi]

That'd sure help me out

 

[8AngeL8]

Just make it your signature, lol

 

[Denzi]

I'm seriously considering it, though the people on the "not Falco" boards will see it and go "wtf?" If someone asks agaig I probably will.

 

[8AngeL8]

Just make the quote by "Me, explaining how to do the falco pivot chain" or something like that.

Sounds good enough. I'll keep it there for a while and hope we don't get any more qusestions about it. (lol @ mah spelling)

 

[8AngeL8]

Lol, qusestions. Time to start a Falco board fad.

whether or not it will become a fad is qusestionable

 

[8AngeL8]

Roflmao

I like it.

 

[Vlade]

Maybe there's nothing that can be done to prevent the inevitable.

 

[Denzi]

All right, time for a serious qusestion.

LHDL: I can't land on the stage after doing these and if i try to move far enough forward, I just end up phantasming. What am I doing wrong? (help)

 

[8AngeL8]

When you jump, just slightly move the stick, as if you were doing a tilt. Almost immediately let it center back, then do the lasers. It's actually a tricky technique, I still screw it up sometimes.

 

[Hylian]

Enjoy your sticky.

 

[B0mbe1c]

About time this thread got stickied.
LHDL: you mean leaving the edge -> DJ -> lasers? Or run off stage -> DJ -> lasers?

 

[Mith_]

Go go sticky.

Denzi I'm not sure what you are asking. I'm assuming LHDL means ledge hop double lasers. Whenever I do them I never end up on stage, I just end up grabbing the ledge again lol. I guess do what Angel said.

Let me make sure I know what I'm doing first before I answer xD.

-Away from ledge + jump
-DI towards level
-Lasers.

lulz.
I wish the thread maker would edit the post. >.>

Question:
Who can you deal with a Metaknight who has a percent lead and is ledge stalling, other than just hope he makes a mistake and leaves himself open?

Not much.

@ Others: Yes I meant ledge hop double lasers.

Also: Yay, sticky!

 

[Vlade]

Yeh falco has a really tough time dealing with ledge-stalling.

 

[B0mbe1c]

I'd be risky, go over there and try to get a bair stage-spike. This should make him get off the edge hopefully, then I'd get back to regular defense and force an approach by him.

 

[Tommy_G]

Run up to the ledge, shield then grab the ledge quickly when he gets off. Learn to time invulnerable ledge hopped aerials.

You make it sound so easy

If their tag is Plank then slap the controller out of their hands for making this strategy so well-known and Bair stage-spike them.
Or you could do what Tommy said although when you are standing on the edge in shield all they have to do is sit there on the edge, Falco has no OoS options to punish ledge-stallers. In which case I advise spamming spot-dodge so you don't lose too much of your shield, 86% invinicibility is too good. Of course all your options are punishable which is why this is such a pain for Falco.
Props to this thread for proving me wrong, got a sticky, I like it.

1000th post

 

[Denzi]

Congrats on 1000th post.

Does spotdodge spamming really make you 86% invincible? It never seemed that safe to me.

If you buffer it perfectly then 86% of your frames are invincibility frames (according to the frame data anyway). It is completely useless against attacks with long lasting hitboxes but use it against Ike and watch him fail over and over again until he eventually starts spamming Jab (quickest move to repeat).
