well I'm relatively new to the pit game, but I will definitely say you must absolutely avoid that chain grab at all costs, it will destroy you. I played a pretty good falco today and struggled. You have to make sure you take advantage of how miniscule Pit's lag is in comparison to Falco's. For me it was all about keeping him busy and on his toes with quick attacks that had little to no lag and taking advantage with a grab or regular A attack...also its really easy to catch falco trapped up in his AAA and holding it. (the one that stays out) It can trap him kinda easily)
For me, the arrow game is kinda destroyed by a falco user who knows how to use his reflector. However, I found his arrows good for mind games and making a falco predictable. Jumping into an arrow attack almost encourages a falco to use his reflector. I coerced the falco player into over using his reflector, which while it was useful to him, made him a little predictable and gave me opportunities to apply pressure by running in.
the laser is something you must be aware of. Being really good with the down be is a must in my opinion. Personally I'm not fantastic with this yet, but I'm trying to get better. I can imagine that if you are a great Pit player, you will easily be able to reflect those right back with your quick reaction time. It wasn't worth being hit by a laser for the sake of getting off an arrow either. just to put that out there. and I never use my side B to reflect because with falco's speed in getting to me i was punished every time...and usually into the devastating chain grab.
I'm not sure what DLX combo is exactly, but from the parentheses I think I got killed by this...every time today. This is just downright scary. At low percentages it just starts into a nasty combo and at high percentages you are pretty much a goner. I found that you must avoid that first hit and make sure your always moving away from falco. moving into him gives him an opportunity to use his fast up smash which is pretty much his main kill move. his fsmash is really easy to avoid imo. Just avoid the first hit however possible. Haven't really developed anything yet since I am new to pit. I'd be interested to see how someone avoids being set up by that combo because as a newbie I found it difficult even reacting pretty well with shielding and dodging.
his recovery can be nasty, but can also easily be punished. its risky going after him at short range because his side b spikes you down. didn't know that till today. so if hes got an easy recovery and can make it back with his side b I'd recommend picking a spot and if your quick at reactions jump and aerial down a immediately and you'll hit him since his trajectory is straight across. if he's far away I usually just go after him with arrows for the safe side and if i'm trying to get a KO I just got at him as I would any other character. Not really sure of a strategy here.
either way, don't blast me. Like I said...I'm new to Pit and brawl in general to be honest, but I thought I'd put in my two cents.
