Captain Falcon's Combos and Approach

[K1F]

I always just default to short hop nair like a scrub, so this helps a ton!

 

[Devil G.]

These are all great pieces of advice! I'll incorporate them into my playstyle.

I have also been able to register the first part of the neutral attack to be a true true combo into ftilt, but it is an extremely small window.

Hello again fellow Falcon mains. Some other people were asking how Falcon ought to utilize the combo starters in this game that I talked about in a previous video, as some of them are seemingly difficult to use (landing uairs mostly). I put together a short video describing how I feel Falcon should best use them since it's easier to see it than just read about it. If you've got any other tips, especially in regards to Falcon's approach/how to start combos with him, post them! Or criticize me if you feel I'm wrong or there are better ways to use them.

Anyways here's the video.

Here is my list of combos and setups, I have found and their percentages. If you want me to make a thread with this let me know. For now here is the results.

Probably common knowledge, but what's the difference between a combo and a setup?

 

[BigLord]

Combos are guaranteed and setups are not, afaik, but setups are very likely to happen because of mistimed airdodges/easy reads.

 

[MaxTheDawg]

nice combos there i'll definitely try some of those

 

[MoonSheep]

Awesome combos and videos, will you be uploading some of your games? I would love to watch some of them.

 

[Ritter7124]

glad to see falcon is thriving!

That's the plan. I have a capture card for my wii u so expect the newest stuff soon, I promise it'll be good.

 

[Nightshift]

I'm looking forward to it. Do you have a youtube channel?

At very low percents Fthrow > Dash attack is a very good combo/setup as we all know, but have anyone else also found Fthrow > JC Usmash (Jump cancelled upsmash) useful at low percent? Im not sure how reliable it is but i have found it very useful against most characters.

(For those who don't know, a JC Upsmash is done by dashing, jumping and then immediately Usmashing after intiating the jump, causing Captain Falcon to slide a bit while upsmashing)

 

[StrykerX]

I always have trouble getting my falling uairs to connect... either my timing will be off or I throw it out before I'm close enough to land it

 

[Nightshift]

One time in a falcon ditto, I started the match by dash grab, forward throw, runoff strong knee, walljump, strong knee, and there went the first stock.
