BetaZealot's Zone Theory: BZZT

[BetaZealot]

Alright so, I believe in 6 zones that a Falco should pay attention to.

1: The opponent is on the edge

2: Starting distance on FD

3: Close combat

4: About 2 or 3 Falcos away from you

5: When you are on the edge

6: Is the air, which we prefer. I'll have another section just for this zone.

I think this is important because if you are SHDL'ing in zones 3 and 4, you will get grabbed or punished. Especially against MK.

Zones 1 2 3 and 6 are zones we should have the advantage.

Zone 1: We can limit our opponent's options with SHDL

Zone 2: We can just spam SHDL, approach with it, or camp with it

Zone 3: Jab them like in SF4 baybee. Grab them.

Zone 6: We have bair and dair, Uair and Nair are pretty nice too.

The bad zones:

Zone 4: If we SHDL, the opponent can rush in and get a throw

Zone 5: We're on the ledge. That's always bad.



This is all I've got right now, I'm at school. I'll add more when I get home at like, 4:10PM EST.

Post what you want, we can't deny your right to post on a forum : D

 

[BetaZealot]

I've been developing a new theory on zones.

It's coming along well.

 

[AvoiD]

Or you could add the stuff you have to the official falco guide, so people might start taking interest again :D

Either way, your call.

 

[Tommy_G]

Hurry up and post your guide. I have a guide of my own and I don't want to steal your thunder.

Awesome sig btw

I'll give him until the end of the day unless he says something.

I have moments like that all of the time with my friends on aim, but I can't put all of them on my sig. :-/ ty for the compliment. That whole thing came from when I got really good at platform canceling. When I showed everyone, they were all like....that's useless...and slowly but surely everyone wanted to learn how to do it. It's stupid, but amazing.

 

[Teran]

Why didn't you just ask in the Q&A thread?

 

[BetaZealot]

I guess I'll just add my zone theory.

I'll write a whole nother guide anyway.

 

[Teran]

Edit it into the OP of this thread when you're done.

No need for another thread.

 

[BetaZealot]

So are you closing this thread?

I thought this was a clear indication that I wasn't.

Besides if I'd wanted it closed, I'd have done it already.

 

[BetaZealot]

Oh ok.

Can you change the title to

BetaZealot's Zone Theory?

BZZT

What do you think of it so far?

Zones 1 2 3 and 6 are zones we should have the advantage.
Not necessarily, match-up dependent.
Zone 1: We can limit our opponent's options with SHDL

Zone 2: We can just spam SHDL, approach with it, or camp with it
besides many more options
Zone 3: Jab them like in SF4 baybee. Grab them.

Zone 6: We have bair and dair, Uair and Nair are pretty nice too.
our aerials aren't safe on shield
The bad zones:

Zone 4: If we SHDL, the opponent can rush in and get a throw
why shdl? why not shl? why not shine? this is all to situational
Zone 5: We're on the ledge. That's always bad.


.

You can't discuss zones like this with match-ups and situational stuff.

You can't say about close combat 'here we have the advantage' we don't always have the advantage in close combat.

 

[BetaZealot]

Alright thanks for the input. I'm just putting zones out there so we can add them to matchups.

In general n stuff. I can see where you're going.
