I thought it was legit.

I laughed how the fact that I see the title "Prescribed to Get Off" (or something like that)

and the first clip is of mario

But small things, small things.

I never thought of doc's d.air as disjointed, but if it is, yes.
I finally bothered to look at the hitbox. There's a pretty big circle way below his feet.

i guess it's disjointed cuz the hitbox is like all around him and stuff too
see above.

I LOVE doc's dair so much.

Also I need help with setting up a kill on falcon.

What are some good setups/%'s for setups
D-throw -> f-smash / d-smash, around 100 - 120. Then edgeguard. Usually you will need to edgeguard falcon, unless they DI bad. They live forever.

A lot of clips were very funny. Not in a bad way.

3:03 in Shroomed's combo vid is interesting! I must know what match that was. Shroomed vs Tang I'm assuming?! And the magnifying glass Fsmash in Mute City on Falco was nice too! Great vid! HomeMadeWaffles, it's your turn to get a combo vid now! lol!

uthrow fair after 100

backthrow any percent? lol

dthrow to fair at like 200 XD

dthrow to other stuff at like 150 i think.
You actually can u.throw fair Falcon (and fox and falco) before 100%, i'd say like realistically, 85%. The thing is it wont kill, which is why most people dont ever do it (For it to kill, it takes retardedly bad DI. More retardedly bad than people NORMALLY do vs fair, which trust me, most people do.)

B.throw @ any percent actually isnt THAT great against capfal because if they DI it (which they have all the time in the world for), you'll wind up throwing them out and up. The more up they have, the stronger their recovery is. Not to say you cant shut it down, but you give them more options the higher they go. (This sounds kinda obvious, but my point is that b.throw isnt always the answer.) B.throw IS the answer if it kills though. Or the obvious "Im jacked up on the ledge."

D.throw -> f.air. You laugh, but that's actually a good thing to know what kinda guarenteed stuff you can do "at mcdonalds numbers." Especially if you want to make ridiculously dumb extermely safe decisions like this guy right here and you wind up with FFers in those percents.

As for d.throw to other stuff, it depends on what you're looking to do. One big thing that gets overlooked on FFers is d.throw -> jab, which can be done at any %. I mean ****, I forget about it alot.
and yea i know lol, i shouldnt have put any mario in the vid
You shoulda make some joke about those combos being mario before he got his PhD. XD

I use dthrow jab on falcon if i grab at 0 because its hard for them to get away from it and it sets up for another grab.

He was asking how to set up a kill so like yah...i agree with most of what u said tho haha. Like he wanted a kill options so obviously u arent going to be trying to use a kill move at falcon at like 0 unless u rly think u can get a gimp XD. So like by "any percent" i meant like any sorta highish percent because u could get off edgeguards/kill moves more easily than like uthrowing at 60. *shrug*

that was such an awesome stock. It took long, but you made sure you didn't get punished for anything.

C is legit too. I remember when he played Raynex at TGMTSBCO.

what?

yea w/ a lot of midtier chars you have to decide whether you're going to go for the grab combo or to set up for edgeguarding when you grab fast fallers at mid percents. you just gotta get some exp. to see what you wanna do.
etc.

Yup. Mixup material. Good mixup matieral but nothing's worse than going for that, whiffing the grab, getting grabbed then combo'd. :(

Edit: Shroomed, love the SoR music. :)

Hm, while I do use throw -> usmash it doesn't seem like you have enough time to follow up usmash except at like, mid %s. I'll have to try this more.

Our recovery is too terrible for many safe mixups. Best and most reliable is just ledgedashing asap into a shield.

He has options from what I've seen but the ones he can use depends heavily on the character hes fighting and their abilities to limit is options at the ledge.

On my 5th 4 Loko and still ****** you.

can't you ledge WD?

You're invincible for most of it.
Aren't these two options... the same? Also ledge WD is a good option but its not 100% safe, you can be hit during the cool down lag and thats super gay.

All and any aerials depend on your opponent doing something that can be punished or just not expecting it. Most characters can simply ftilt you out of a ledgehop and you die.

Airdodging past and regular get ups through attacks work fairly well if the person does something.

I am most fond of immediate ledgedashing into grabs/dsmash or trying ledgehop dair. Plenty of people stall on the edge with ledgehop pills but once again its really risky for a small reward. If you feel risky and they are close sometimes just Up +Bing back onto the stage actually works. Especially if there is a platform above to hit them onto.

Seriously though, I can't think of one character who can't embarrass a Doc trying to ledgehop something.

Yea i can waveland onto the ledge no problem, but, the problem is, THAT ALL DOC CAN DO FROM THE LEDGE.

like literally, none of his aerialsfrom ledge are helpful. nair is pointless, fair takes too long, bair is only good if you can get over/around them,. dair is ok i guess, i've been messing around with it but it still sucks

so ya, you have to ledgehop waveland into either an attack (probably the riskiest option, i stick to jab), grab, or shield. gg

meh, im guess just used to playing falco where there are like a billion ways to get back on the stage from the ledge, but yea, most characters have atleast one go to aerial which wont be easily punished and can say gtfo my face. i feel like wavelanding gets predictable...-_-
