Damage Moves and Kill Moves

[Spudnick]

which moves do you primarily use for killing, and damaging. I've found that I hardly ever use smashes to kill (except down smash occasionally) and that I rely more on aerials. As for damaging moves, it may sound silly but probably the A jab combo accounts for around 25% of all my damage. short hopping a nair and then fastfalling so the second kick hits is extremely easy to string into an A jab combo. Even if they spot dodge the kick you still hit them multiple times, racking up quite a bit of damage.

Kill strokes: Knee of Justice, F-smash, D-smash, U-air, PAWNCH, side-B (air), B-air.
Damage moves: U-air (yeah, it's both), tilts, U-smash, N-air, side-B (ground), down-B.

That's the bulk of it. There's more, but I don't use them much.

Damage moves and kill moves are mostly a pick and choose game in Brawl if you ask me. If you really want to kill with a certain attack, you just need to know what percents it will kill at undiminished and purposefully save it.

Personally me, I would try hard to save one of Falcon's aerials, like the B-air or U-air, and I would save his U-tilt for killing. Not that I would never use his Smash attacks, but those are significantly more situational.

I try to do damage with the D-air, N-air, Jabs, Dash attack, F-tilt, Falcon Kick, and Up-B. Not to mention dash grabbing too.

For me my kills are something like 35% FSmash, 25% DSmash, 15% BAir, 15% Punch, 10% UTilt, 10% Kick, 10% UAir, 5% Falcon Dive, 5% Raptor Boost Spike, 5% NAir, 5% Nipple Spike, 5% Knee (sob), 5% other
Which comes out to 150% win. I definately need to get my Falcon Dive kill fraction up....

For damage it's usually jabs/grab, Kick, UAir, BAir, and FSmash, with a bit of tilt poking thrown in. I havn't been using NAir much lately, perhaps because I've been fighting characters against which it is hard to approach in the air.

Kill- Dair, Knee, Falcon PAAAWWNNCH, Down Smash
Damage- Up Smash, Nair, Down B, Bair, Jabs, All tilts

I sometimes switch it up depending on who i'm playing.

1move, FALCON PUNCH! Seriously though, Captain Falcons finishers are meant as damage dealers as well. I find setting up smashes then abusing them (With correct timing) is the way to go.

I find myself not saving any attacks on falcon. I don't know why.

i think that a good killer move is his knee in the air its a fair i think but i see alot of c.falcon vids where he ko's with that knee in the air...
