Wow really nice falco man, I espicially liked your waveshines, very effectively performed. Do you go to tourneys?

 

[illboyzeus]

yeah, I'm a Minnesota Smasher.

 

[x4FoSho4x]

your falco is decent...just keep playin its better than a lot of falcos in the forums

 

[illboyzeus]

can someone please rate the vids.

8/10. You're good, better than most people here.

EDIT: I loved the first video, it was just brutal.

 

[invertigo]

definitely awesome. about your shine-dairs, maybe you should just dair or bair them instead of shining because youre missing most of the aerials out of shine. aside from that just a few poor move choices and you do repeated sidestep dodges alot, steer away from those. if you have time to sidestep dodge a couple times, you could be doing an attack or moving away.

9/10, excellent combos, good use of all techs and great execution. Your opponents were adept at mistiming things like shines and approaches and gots teh *****. There is still much to be improved upon, however, espeically details like DI, though your budy Disciple could use some of that too. I liked your laser gay, tell your friends to practice WD out of shield like madmen and learn to lightshield so you can learn how to players that do that.

Edit: Ooh and wavedash out of your shines, better and more consistant combos to be had.

more mindgames.

Wait my DI was bad? Wow that makes me feel like crap inside lol, but yeah I did get ***** in that first link he put up but it happens. Funny thing is he's the one with the technical skills and I'm the one with the mindgames.

I noticed something very crucial on the last video. I don't know how deep you guys are into your technical skill (you both seem technical enough to me) but you are both doing some things that you might only do against a computer. This applies to both fox and falco... you guys use a lot of uairs when a bair would be a much better choice. This is a stronger point for the falco since his uair isn't exactly his best move except for finishing some shine combos which you use it very well for. However sometimes you use it at very high percentages. What you SHOULD be doing is focusing on getting your opponent off the stage to setup for kills.

The reason I notice this is because its a problem I had with my game as well, which probably developed from practicing technical skill against a CP so much, all I did were these extended flashy looking combos. When a real game came around though I wasn't finishing my opponents quickly enough, which doesn't win matches. Basically there is some unecessary flash that needs to be cut out of your games.... more bairs ledgehoggging, simplifying to do things that get you kills. The good news is you both appear to have a good grasp of all the technical stuff (though I saw a lot of random fullhopped double shines with the falco... where you going for double jc shines on the ground or what? If you can't do them don't... they aren't that important)..... now you can work on mindgames, being more tactical etc...without having to worry about tech skill. This is something I myself still have a lot of trouble with and it takes me a while to warm up when I play before I start really THINKING in my game, you don't want to be on autopilot too much.

I guess I give you guys a 7/10 or something? Though I don't get how rating works because it really depends on who I'm comparing you to, you shouldn't really ask for ratings since they are subjective and not good measurements... if I compare you to other people who ask for help and post videos maybe a 7/10 is fitting but if I compare you to pros then a 4/10 is more accurate, at least thats probably what I would give myself if I watched one of my own videos and then watched a match of PC Chris and KoreanDJ playing or something.

8/10 I thaught your Falco was very good, if anything work on your edge game a little bit seemed like in the second video Fox could read what you were gonna do pretty easily. On a platform level maybe try and waveland a little more just to add some speed to moving around the stage and use it as a mind game to keep your opponent geussing where your going.

 

[illboyzeus]

Thanks for all the input guys, I'll try to put up some more recent vids later, I'm taking all of this into account and finally going to focus on mindgames while still being technical, sort of like forward's playing style.

 

[d_shep04]

you got some pretty good matches. good tech skills and everything. your definetly better than most falco players out here. and i liked how you used the firebird as a combo (in the first vid), i thought i was like one of the few who did that. nice to see other people use it as well. keep up the good work, and you'll be on dashizwiz lvl someday
