OK so I decided to pick up this character and I was wondering what is the core fundamentals of this character.
Things i should know or look out for?
Strengths and weaknesses?
Bread and butter tech skill?
Good and bad match ups?
How to play the natural?
Uncommon knowledge?
Advantages stages?
Basically how should they be played as base level. Don't be afraid to state the obvious because that might be exactly what i need. All advice is welcome!

  1. Marth is deadly, try not to be tippered or grabbed by him.
  2. Your recovery is not the greatest, you should always try to find the safest way to recover.
  3. Strengths : Just about everything.
  4. Weaknesses : Bad recovery.
  5. BnB tech skill : Wavedashing, Dash Dancing, SHFFLing, Waveshining, JC Shine, SHL, Isai Drop, AC bair.
  6. Not necessarily any bad matchups, but Marth v Falco is arguable to be slightly in Marth's favor. Peach and Puff aren't great either, but you should be able to get around them with a little experience.
  7. Good Matchups are definitely Falcon, Sheik, and anything low tier lol.
  8. Neutral* is made up of using the tools you have, which frankly, Falco has amazing tools. Lasering a lot is absolutely something you HAVE to do. If you find yourself being approached, you can wall out your opponent with utilts, ac bairs, lasers, etc.
  9. Too much uncommon knowledge to spread it here, but you'll find it all out in time.
  10. The obvious : Shine is amazing, Nair is amazing, lasers are amazing, dair is amazing. Shine can combo into a myriad of things, try it out and you'll come to love this character more than anything.
