I've seen SS use moonwalking in his falcon style. In your opinion is it worth the extra effort to learn to moonwalk well?
Just a side note, but you don't have to be able to SEE the moonwalk for it to be working. Even a sucky moonwalk shifts your momentum. I often run away to moonwalked SH stomp/bair/knee.

EDIT: @ brendol

ur doing it wrong!

lol, i know you get grabbed, but i was refferring to the auto space. also, is the auto space thing kinda random or just so hard to pull of you cant do it consistently?

hey mango, on spacies, is there any way to knee into a grab?

like... preferably knee and have the teetering animation cancel all the lag, grab, d-throw to another knee off the ledge.

can it be done?

but i mean without moving, like grabbing them before they get knocked out of grab range.

so you could grab them and already be RIGHT on the edge for a d-throw -> knee.

well i know he does d-throw -> knee all the time.

i think it would be outrageous if you could knee into that combo and have it be impossible to escape.

Doing dthrow->knee->grab->dthrow->moar knees on jiggs is fun

guys I have a question for any technical falcon(s): When you shffl uair, how do you do it to do it as fast as possible? (it's important with uair cuz sometimes you need the uair to come out the first few frames of the jump to keep the combo going...). Y+c-stick is to slow, and if I use Y+A I risk double jumping. Control stick to jump and c-stick for arial maybe...?

a Throw to Knee in spacies with Dthrow > Knee is If they doesnt Tech or Tech in the same place... cause they are FastFallers and they Hit the Floor first that you hit them with the Knee so is a Really fast Technique that only works if they are not waiting the Dthrow or have Bad Tech, or if they do a Mistake Teching in the same place.... most Trhow to Knee combos on Spacies is in around 60% or more... with a Uthrow > Shffl Knee... in Falco... Fox I think is a little more % I dont know... cause is more easy too keep him busy with the Techchase... and wait for a Dair > Knee or a Uthrow... dont worry too much for a Low % Knee... cause you will have too do a lot of mistakes like a Dtrhow > Knee and if the Falco Tech to another place... He could just make you eat Blasters...and fox... if you do it close to a Edge and he just Tech to the right way... you maybe will know in you next stock thinking "why the knee doesnt ****ing works" is true, a Low % Knee on spacies is a Fast Kill sexys... but remember they are FastFallers so is more easy too keep him entretaining with you Tech Chase and then wait for the right moment and then side B > Knee or Stomp > Knee or Uthrow > Shffl Knee (Just sexys G-regulate XD)

for short hop rising uair, i find y to cstick easy, i sometimes use A though.

for full hop rising i always use A, sometimes control stick and cstick if i want it retreating.

shorthopping with the stick i find way more inconsistent than accidently double jumping

I would go with the C-stick, Mike. This may be a little difficult at first, but you will get faster. Use the center of your thumb, or whatever is most efficient. Only tilt the stick just enough to perform the aerial. This will save you some time.
