Judge, you've got a very nice Falco. Your pace was great and while you missed the random tech here or there, your tech skill in general is excellent.

I don't know that I can offer much advice as to how you can improve your game... You made a couple of mistakes, but I'm sure you're aware of them.

I saw one or two edge guards that you missed, a couple missed l-cancels that got you punished and one SD...

I was really impressed by your pressure (though I lol'd at your laser spam on Pokemon Stadium) and your wave dashing was spot on.

All in all, two thumbs up. Looks Pro.

Actually, I do have one criticism, though it's not a big one. I was going back and rewatching your vids and it seems like occasionally your hands get ahead of your head.

What I mean is that you push such a frantic pace, that you sometimes rush an attack, or make a poor decision.

Prime example is the first stock on Pokemon Stadium. You open with a nasty 55% combo, Fox comes back, you brawl a little bit and then send him flying off the left side of the stage...

At this point you can tell that you're still in frantic attack mode, because your edge guard (a d-smash) comes out way early, and the fox is able to recover.

Another example comes shortly after this, when you d-air too close to the edge and end up SDing.

I don't want to criticize you for being aggressive, but getting ahead of yourself can be a painful mistake...

When I watch your videos, I'm most reminded of Shiz, and believe it or not, his frantic play style has also been criticized for being a little bit too "Go Go Go"...

you got a very nice falco, very similar to mine. the only difference between me and you is that i tend to roll alot, which i am working on. everybody is not perfect with their games so im not gonna say anything bad besides work on your l-cancelling... and that' all i have to say about that...

Good job soldier

thanks for the help guys..... and i dont know why its just i like being aggressive like i always tend to want to attack him but i also need to learn how edge guard better... thanks for the advice....and i think it is kind of funny that u said shiz bec when i first started using falco i always watched the shiz and pc chris... mostly shiz and i guess i got my aggressivness from him... it could be bad at sum times i just need to learn how to control it at certain points in the match...

But thanks for the help guys does anyone else has somthin to say about me and my falco?

You're not doing anything wrong with your Falco... Don't take my comments that way...

It's easy, when playing Smash, to go into some subconscious turbo mode where you attack, attack, attack and forget to even think about it...

That's what I think you need to avoid.

Other than that, your Falco is absolutely top notch.

Yeah I have the same feelings as MrBitter, apart from a couple of messups in technical skill it was hard for me to place exactly what was causing you fault in your gameplay. Like MrBitter I came to the same conclusion that it was just that you put yourself in bad positions quite a few times throughout the match. I'm not really sure what advice to give you, just play more defensive at times and mix it up.

Otherwise superb falco mate ^^

A place called Cucamonga or something..
Wow Dior's HAS gotten better but wooow..its funny how people make these comments. I wouldnt quite compare judge to "pro" because otherwise I wouldn't be beating him as often as I do. I wish there was less praise (even though he deserves it) and more critique because thats how he can improve his game. I'll leave it at that.

Rofl I just posted and its not showing anything. So I'll sum up what I just said.

It looks like you do lots of Dairs as an approach. You should switch that up. You should do more Nairs, try to keep it 50/50. They both have their priorities. And against fox, the main thing you want to do is mindgame the shine. With Falco the best way to get better is by getting more mindgames. It can help his game out in wonders.

And do more grabs. Grabs can be very effective. If you want to see how. Go to my new thread in the 1v1 section.


Its called Smash Bash III Tournament videos. Its from a tournament that I won two days ago. I hope this helped.

In my opinion, you were amazing, keep it up and you could be the next Pc Chris.



(Edit) I don't do this personally, but you said critique, so use some grabs, thats all.

Where it all went wrong
You seem to have solid technical skills and a good understanding of play tactics; however, as mentioned, you seemed to play only with that one given style that you're confident with and didn't vary your technique too often. Greater opponents will take huge advantage of this, so make sure to mix it up a bit more often and adapt more to your opponent's style rather than concentrating on your own. Play the way that skrews up your opponent -- not just the way you're familiar with playing.

So far, you have a very good base ability to start off, so get to work on gathering experience from wider ranges of opponents, and make sure to post some more vids once you do. Keep it up.
