I'm with superboom; this argument severely disappointed me.

Anyone else think falcon's taunt is OP?

 

[asianaussie]

falcon's dash, more like it

 

[clubbadubba]

well i think its more that the dash makes the taunt OP. those super fast taunt cancels are tough to counter.

 

[SuPeRbOoM]

I can't show my moves that fast.

 

[TalosSSB]

Learn to grab noobs, damn!

 

[reallyfastcar]

I'm sorry I couldn't be bothered reading through all of this, does some one recommend any combos to practice or something to practice with him when i'm not getting 5 stocked online.

Usmash/Dthrow -> Uair(x) -> up+b/Dair

Let x be any integer between 1 and 10, essentially

Usmash/Dthrow fthrow -> Uair(x) -> up+b/Dair

Let x be any integer between 1 and 10, essentially

you nub

but essentially do the combo that was mentioned above, reallyfastcar, until it is is easy. might be easier to practice that on heavy characters like falcon, or DK for maximum easiness given his large size

if not tell me whoever is 5 stocking you on the server and i'll go and throttle them for you, and slap them in the face for not going easier on newbies

 

[Krynxe]

Damnit I made that mistake fffff

 

[asianaussie]

10 bucks it's pete

 

[ciaza]

wouldn't surprise me

apparently kronos is back btw

 

[reallyfastcar]

haha it's true tears, his fox just pumps me.
And ok thanks for the tip

 

[ciaza]

truetears is the WORST person you could play against, as he uses macros (cheating) to escape from combos. i suggest playing people like rom or even jasper, as weird as jasper is, as he is is relatively close to your skill level

 

[reallyfastcar]

O really I just thought he was really good at getting out of combos, he has helped me improve like crazy.
I jjust got nothing to practice anymore. So Iwas after some new moves

 

[reallyfastcar]

Are there certain combos which require a "joystick jump" over a "C button Jump" I just cant seem to get high enough and pull off the move quick enough with "C"

 

[Sempiternity]

you can try using the R-button if you're having trouble attacking immediately after jumping

 

[reallyfastcar]

I'm not sure it just seems "C" does not give me the same height from certain videos.
Do the top players incorporate joystick jumps in also?

 

[SSBPete]

yupp! often you'll need to stick jump to get that little extra height for falcon to continue an uair chain

top players use it every now and then. it all depends on the situation.

 

[reallyfastcar]

Thanks.
So at the 52 second mark off http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSfqzsgddsg&fb_source=message the bit after the second grab where he jumps off the edge to uair once than he jumps again. Is the first jump joystick?

 

[Sempiternity]

Looks like it. You need all the height you can get when doing combos to the top of the tent and in that situation it's just easier to jam the up-direction and then press A, instead of jumping with the C-button and trying to do a u-air without double jumping.

 

[reallyfastcar]

Ahh that makes sense, thanks again sempiternity.

 

[Sephirothxxx]

Since Falcon is my fave right now, I figured I'd ask this here.... I always find myself caught in a chain of upsmash! (which seems to be a favorite thing among people like MATTS!) How do I get out of those? They make me wanna rage!

 

[kyaputenfarukon07]

Don't get hit

For me 99% of the time I find it difficult to get out of one

So I try to avoid the problem from the start

 

[Sephirothxxx]

Well yeah of course I know to not get hit..... I'll keep working on it....

 

[The Star King]

I'm guessing you mean Kirby's utilt? You probably won't get out but you can DI up to maybe reduce the number of utilts you suffer by like one

 

[Sempiternity]

If you get caught at low percents on ground level, you can try DIing down to catch a tech, but be careful, if you can't pull it off, you'll be caught in even more hits...

 

[The Star King]

Yeah I wouldn't recommend that cause of the risk you mentioned, plus Kirby's utilt is fast so they can probably prevent that from happening, and it's not hard to hold up and press the A button

 

[Battlecow]

Strong DI away from Kirby can get you out after 1 or 2 if you're at 0 and already pretty far away. Make sure you're ready because it's easy to miss that tech and get eaten up anyways.

 

[Sephirothxxx]

Ok thanks for all the advice :D Now to get to work.

 

[Olikus]

I just give up on DIing if I get caught by kirbys utilt. Some pain you gotta take like a man.

 

[SSBPete]

you never cease to amaze me

 

[The Star King]

^I'm surprised to hear that from a guy who comes from the land of "DI is cheating"

 

[Sempiternity]

it's not worth the damage to your controller

 

[SuPeRbOoM]

just di up always unless you're good at side ****ing

you gotta remember that kirby can dash pivot uptilt and continue the combo

 

[SSBPete]

^I'm surprised to hear that from a guy who comes from the land of "DI is cheating"

its just nice to know someone feels the same way we do

still the main reason im pushing for (j) to be our standard smash game

 

[The Star King]

Hori Mini Pad!

 

[Sempiternity]

but it's so... mini!

 

[clubbadubba]

haven't people's hori's been destroyed from DI too? I thought bcow said his fell apart real quick.

 

[Sempiternity]

no joystick is invincible

i would just be crestfallen if my hori crapped out

i'm okay if my N64 controller fails because it's expected to

 

[SSBPete]

xbox 360 joysticks are indestructable
