falcos best moves are dair/shine/laser and worst move = uair/dtilt/fair?

Sheik's worst move = fair/dthrow/needles.

They are equally as bad as each other.

Best = umm...

to be very very technically correct

everyone's worst move is their taunt
Nope. Luigi is host of the worst move in the game in every regard.

Downward angle ftilt with Luigi is hands down the worst move in the entire game. Set knockback (none), set hitstun (less than the lag at the end of the attack). Nothing can be done with it.

Some of the most ridiculous moves are being said for worst...

Falco's ftilt is way worse than his uair/dtilt/fair, and Doc's dash attack is ****. Idk what you are talking about.

I wouldn't say his ftilt is way worse. I mean it can't combo, but angled down ftilt is the best way to edge guard a fire fox to the ledge (from above).

Falco's Ftilt is very good, as well as his Dtilt and Uair. Maybe not his best moves, but certainly not his worst.

Doc's Dash attack is quite good, his dtilt is trash tho.

Roy: Dtilt/Ftilt
Zelda: Fair, Bair/Dair
G&W: Parachute/Down B

roy's ftilt is actually very useful for that character. realistically his worst move is probably back throw? none of his attacks are exceptionally great or bad really.

doc's dash attack is pretty nice too. as is falco ftilt.

the thing with fair is you can get it to carry them in certain situations, and combo out of it. regular trajectory f-tilt doesn't really combo into anything AFAIK. I think f-tilt is Falco's least useful move.

I don't care how old of a "joke" this is, if you look at it seriously, it's a straight fact.


Zelda's down+b is one of the best moves ever made in a game. By successfully doing it, you go from low tier, like, low 8 or so, to top 4 in game. It's hard to find that ANYWHERE. If you do, it's usually with some additional cost (usually meter of some kind). Other games have had the same concept for the same cost (i.e. Maids in Melty Blood), but the improvement of the change is NOWHERE as good as Zelda -> Sheik.

on the other side, Sheik's down+b is one of the worst in the game. I won't go outside the game walls because the move has some use. Yes, at the press of a button you drop the ability to beat a portion of the game with thorough use of d.throws, but Zelda is kind of a feather to Sheik being a rock. So like the few wise Sheik players do, dropping your awesome for a brief second on recovery could give you a chance you normally... would probably still have ('cause sheik's recovery is good anyway).


... I say this through my teeth, but Sheik's Down+B is actually one of the things in existence that is worse than Doc's d.tilt.

How good a move is isn't dependent on how well it combos. Silliest logic ever.

I don't think anyone would argue Falco's ftilt is useless, but it is definitely the move I used the least (obviously personal style will come into play). Losing moves that you can combo with like dtilt and fair are going to have a much greater effect than losing a move like ftilt which is largely used edgeguarding and is typically just an option to edgeguard, not at all a requirement. Basically, I'd rather have to edgeguard without ftilt than combo without dtilt/uair/fair. I also use dtilt and uair to kill all the time, so the only debateable move in my mind is fair.

I'd rather give up his kicks after the first two jabs than remove f-tilt.

I hate M2's dair. It's ****ing awful

Best attack? I think Falco's Dair is very good. Great hitstun, pretty quick and decent hitbox. A move with great utility.

(Also: Can gimp ppl)

Ok, by "bad" I mean his least used/least effective move, and in my own opinion no less.

Feel free to let the world know what you think his worst move is, instead of merely putting mine down.
