Full hop (you may wanna go a teeny bit backwards, like if she f-tilted the tip of your shield) -> wait until sllightly after the peak of youur jump -> falcon kick. As long as shes not at a really low percent its a good way to hit her away and escape .

What moves are good vs Sheik OOS? or should I be just wave dashing oos?

tomahawk

yall r dum

 

[TaFoKiNtS]

I agree.

There isn't much you can do that is considered a guaranteed or safe option. You have to make reads on what sheik's strings are.

Yes, you do have the option of stomp OOS. Is it an option? Yes. Does it always work? No......
You can roll. Is it an option? Yes. Does it always work? no.....

S2J give the homies a cookie of advice.

n00b question from a n00b player:

Is moonwalking a legit strategy in Falcon's game? I've been trying to moonwalk but I can't moonwalk except for maybe 3 centimeters, lol. How in the world do people moonwalk large distances? <-- I guess that's part 2 of my question

One of the few times I've seen moonwalking implemented in a meaningful way
For the most part, it's not incredibly useful movement

Moonwalking longer distances just means doing the half-circle faster

The closer you do the half circle motion to the inside of the stick the further you'll go. Basically work on not having to rely on any of the ridges to form your half circle. Speed is obviously a factor too.

and moonwalking is legit, why wouldnt you utilize a movement mixup that your character excels in?

Gahtzu's birthday was yesterday though.

 

[Hax]

didn't realize that lol, i thought it was a random pic from google images or something. that's sick Gahtzu, happy birthday!

falcon's birthday is definitely 420 though

Speed is the only factor. Moving the stick closer to "the inside of the stick" is simply the least distant path from one side to the other so it should go quickest.

good catch

 

[Wenbobular]

Moonwalking isn't a good movement mixup because it's so slow ... if you want to go anywhere with it you have to do a super obvious startup <_<

 

[Gahtzu]

you can shroud it's startup by mixing up your dash dance lengths and just being slippery in general. you can even use the start of your sticky walk to stop yourself in place and react to whatever. If you moonwalk recklessly then expect to get punished just like any other move.

 

[Wenbobular]

I mean you can try to be tricky all you want but it's still slow as balls haha
Maybe jumping out of it during the startup would be a little confusing, but going for full on moonwalks is kinda dumb

 

[LordYggdrasil]

I disagree.
You can execute nice mix-ups with it.
Starting with it and doing a well spaced bair can be really surprising.
Of course you can use it like Nando for the techchase (i do it often), and it's surely the fastest option to grab the ledge.

 

[odinNJ]

and it's surely the fastest option to grab the ledge.

Umm, if youre talking about flying across fd to grab it then sure. But if youre anywhere near the edge backdash is much quicker.

If your opponent has the reflexes of a snail then sure

I played with some locals and tried to implement moonwalking to get in some solid hits to prove wenbo wrong but I ended up only ever using it to edge guard or do wacky tech chases D:

 

[Deleted member]

moonwalking is good

 

[McNinja]

moonwalking is good

Undeniable logic. Discussion over.

 

[Windrose]

If you think a falco is going to LHDL, moon walk off the stage and dj back on and knee him from behind.

it's so funny. cuz WHO WOULD MOON WALK THERE???? and then it works cuz the ****ing lasers go infront of you.


moon walking for edge guarding is pretty good you can use it to launch yourself for a bair or mix up with a double jump back towards the ledge and grab.

 

[Deleted member]

you have to be more creative and not think one-dimensionally

for example:

on FoD, you can moonwalk up-air someone on a slightly raised platform, edge-cancel that, up-air, then up-air again and the momentum lets u hit them twice

Ooh Moonwalk Tech chase, I want to pull something off like that.

 

[legion598]

You gotta use moonwalks. like against marth and chars that have to catch u to hit u do moonwalks and charlesons all over the place, sometimes u can do silly moonwalk grabs and wave dash mix ups.

 

[tarheeljks]

moonwalking is def useful for the toolbox. i just think the vast majority of us have more important things to work on than incorporating moonwalks optimally. i'm all about donig whacky things and keeping my opponent off balance, but i drop too much "simple stuff" to work on something that is pretty supplementary. guess i should only speak for myself though

 

[Windrose]

the s2j ice climbers exercise is pretty fun.

i miss so many L-cancels vs 3 sets of ice climbers lol.

What's a charleson?

hey guys. my name is ian, or eikelmann. i'm a ganondorf main from florida working on picking up falcon as a legitimate secondary. i just recently got footage of my falcon for the first time, and i'd some sort of critique on the first (and i suppose even the second match).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cenTiNe6WuA&feature=relmfu

at the 6 minute match mark, i switch to ganondorf, so please ignore those matches unless you really feel like watching any further, lol

i'll have more falcon stuff up probably as well.

i look forward to all of you hopefully tearing my gameplay apart. marth is my biggest weakpoint for all of my characters.

 

[Scidadle]

HOW DO I TECH CHASE WELL?

I suck at it

And what are some good ways to practice tech skill as falcon?

 

[legion598]

I think that the secret to good tech chasing is having a healthy mixture of reaction and prediction based tech chases. The more reaction tech chasing u can do the more consistent ur tech chases will become. However, most kills come from prediction chases, like stomping and kneeing a tech. U should build damage with reaction tech chase grabs and once the damage is high enough use all those regrabs to predict what tech they will do and kill them with a stomp, knee, or raptor boost. sometimes u can land kills off of reaction chases like Uthrow > Dtilt, or U throw> knee, or a drop zone.

[glow]You should probably put the link in the Falcon critique thread. Also, I would take Sworddancer to FD. I'm not sure if its a bad marth stage or he just doesn't like it personally. I noticed that Dark Sonic doesn't like it either though so it might be a Marth thing.[/glow]

 

[Эикельманн [РУС]]

i banned it because i assumed i'd be going ganondorf eventually lol

 

[AxelSlam]

hi ian. falcon is pretty cool.

 

[Эикельманн [РУС]]

Yep. Guess I should have posted my stuff elsewhere lol
