D3 vs Quick Ranged Characters

[Badjuju]

I really love playing D3 because of his awesome CG and his incredible reach, but last weekend I ran into a great Falco... which was my doom. CG = no good, and his blaster kind of keeps me away. Plus Falcos fsmash is pretty deceiving too. Any strategies?

Ah, in my opinion this is a fun match, mostly because Falco is kind of a Dedede counter.

He has a CG, so watch out for it. Lucky for you, it only works up to 50%. CG -> Dair spike from a low percentage is a big possibility, so keep on your toes.

You're gonna want to use your Dthrow as a tech chase. If they roll away, you dash attack, if they roll towards you, Dtilt, if they stay where they are, Fsmash.

You want to keep a Waddle or two in between you and him to soak up some lasers, and I think Ftilt cancels lasers, so you can approach that.

I suppose it would be best to keep at around mid range, enough to Ftilt him, but not too far or else he'll laser spam you until you approach.

Those are just some general tips, some can be a bit risky, though, so test things out before you bring them to tourneys and the like.

Yeah that CG of Falcos really messes me up. I'm so used to be the one chaingrabbing >.< lol. I really wish I could attack Falco in the air, but he always gets away from me using Falco Phantasm. I'll def use the tech chase advice. I've never done that before, but it sounds fun.

PPF is dead on...

tech chase...watch his cg...waddles for shields...

falco is kinda a ddd counter...difficult fight for sure

 

[Sonic-Doo]

PPF really is spot on, though I'd add that DDD's fthrow helps when you find yourself on the defensive, it creates the space needed to create some waddles for the shield effect though I'd use that at your own discretion as people I face tend to shy away from DDD grabs.

Oof. Reading these posts + chicken nugs w/ ranch dressing + 2a.m. = dead brain cells. I'll absorb the most that i can lol =D

You're gonna want to use your Dthrow as a tech chase. If they roll away, you dash attack, if they roll towards you, Dtilt, if they stay where they are, Fsmash.

These are just some of the many options you have with Dthrow as a chase move.
If they roll away you can also chase -> regrab
If they roll toward you, you can also regrab, Dsmash, jab, or maybe even inhale
And if they tech or get up in place you can also Ftilt or sometimes regrab

 

[GhettoSheep]

Against falco you really need to abuse your ftilt. Its got the perfect range to hit falco while keeping him out of laser spam range AND fsmash range. Also, if you need to approach powershield the lasers. roll or throw out some of your minions to absorb them. Those are just a few of his many approaches. Remember your ridiculous number of jumps. He's also really easy to gimp so if he goes off the edge make sure he stays there
