I have discovered the best mindgame that Falco players can use:
Empty short hop to shine.
Why does it work? I don't know. It seems people would wait for the shine anyway before rolling or doing something out of their shield, but the emptiness just makes people get hit. It seems a mindgame of this magnitude means we can't even comprehend WHY it works.
Oh yeah, if you can doubleshine that makes it even better. It's a guaranteed shine. And if you mix it up with slow-walk-up-to-them-to-shine then you'll be unstoppable.
It works best on Falcon for no reason, but mostly because it generally out-prioritizes Falcon's aerials better than other character's aerials.
Don't try this against Samus or Bowser.
EDIT: This is MY trick that I found/invented, so don't use it.
