...haha ST do you really have to ask that question?
Campy. Lasers, gyros. Sits at one edge of the stage, waits for me to come to him. Spaces himself PERFECTLY every time. Powershields all of my lasers. Sometimes gimps me and sometimes doesn't. Waits to punish bad spacing.
ARGH SO **** PATIENT
Is he actually ON the edge hanging or just near it standing? Cus it sounds like you need to take his advice, and other than that space him as well as he's apparently spacing you.
You're Falco, yeah it's fun to be aggressive and getting on a combo-roll will usually always take you off your smart game. Like any of Falco's other tough matchups, you really gotta know when to go ****incrazy and when to just plain be smart.
Here's what OS said in your link:
For Falco vs. ROB....
I would suggest using your blaster as often as possible. Get in the habit of throwing out your shine or simply standing blasters after landing; your goal is to rack up a lot of damage on ROB.
I do this all the time, well all the time as in every match not EVERY SHL. Mixing this in with normal SHL will be sure to get some damage on ROB.
It is VERY important to stay away from the edge. ROB will destroy you in this fashion due to your awful recovery; all he has to do is throw you and then hit you with a weak laser and you are forced to up+B! This means he can hit you out of it, and can easily kill you.
I always save my jump to make sure I don't get hit with a Gyro, laser or even Fair. If he is camping the edge (hanging, popping up to shoot lasers/gyro) Either stand in the middle and just reflect it, or go to opposite edge and bait him to coming, and jump up with SHDLs.
Your grab game is going to be pretty good, and your damage dealing is going to be good, so focus on those two aspects.
Your bair has no landing lag, so throw that out when you are in close proximity to ROB until you can hit him and start up your lasers again.
This is the HUGE advantage you have on ROB. Falco is so fast that racking up damage is pretty easy against ROB. Bait his aerials and punish in the air, beware of his distance to the ground thoe because his fair and bair have little to no lag upon landing-leading to him comboing you.
A good ROB will often bide his time, powershielding lasers until he has a full laser. If he attempts this, give him a reason to approach. Start doing standing blasters to make it more difficult for powershielding, or move a bit close then blaster, etc., etc. You want ROB to be aggressive; one powerful laser hitting you at medium % gets you off the edge, and then it is **** time.
Your shine is amazing at messing up ROB's spacing, so don't be afraid to throw it out.
Again what he/I mentioned in his first statement, mix up your laser game so some actually hit haha. Basic mindgames: make him do what you want, punish, rinse, do something different/repeat
Your main KO move will be your d-smash, your damage dealing moves will be your jab, bair, and blaster. Your forward air will be good to use if he is spamming spot dodge, but it has landing lag to be frugal with it.
I usually kill with Upsmash or Fsmash. Falco's DLX is too good. Getting ROB to 140% is a guaranteed Upsmash kill on the average ceiling stage (FD)
I wouldnt recomend Fair, EVER, to a grounded opponent, but if you can pull it off Godspeed.
Your main goal is to make HIS spam game harder than yours so he has to approach YOU. When in close, you can have the advantage with your superior grab game and excellent bair pressure.
ROB has a lot of ways around your blaster spam, including simply hanging onto the ledge. Every 20 seconds he becomes dangerous at long range if you make the slightest mistake, so if he does that you've got a whole new ball game ahead of you. If this occurs, you have to pressure HIM. You can do this by simply doing standing blasters until he gets up and hopefully hitting him once or twice, or by getting near the edge until you can run off and bair or dair him from the stage.It's a hard matchup for Falco when ROB won't approach, since Falco doesn't have much of an approach against a ROB that can powershield his lasers.
It may seen basic, but thats really all it is: spam better. Just know his options so you can punish whatever he does. You have a viable reflector, his...not so much.
I'm guessing OS just reads you better, which is nothing to be embarassed about as he is 'the best' ROB, is he not?
PS youre one lucky son of ***** because of that!!!!!
