On my 5th 4 Loko and still ****** you.
Oh and he ***** the mario chars harder than any other char IMO (doc/mario).
You've said this before and I'm curious as to your justification for it. I would say in general it's either Marth/Sheik, and in Doc's case Falcon. I'm not disagreeing with you, Falco is def a tough matchup but at least IMO its more manageable than a Marth who spaces right, or a Sheik who's just.. sheik.

i think falco has no disadvantages..jiggs i think is his favor or even at the least peach is even or slightly him..lasers **** the float watch lambchops play peach..he ***** every known pro peach there is...icy's is dead even..no question..fox is even except final d..marth i think is in falco's favor because marth has to grab him and lasering can take that option a way..ask m2k....i think a really good sheik gives any top falco a hard time..even shiz will tell u he hates playing his brothers sheik..but thats what i think no one listens to an icy main..lol

And for good reason lol. If this were true what you wrote above it wouldn't have been like 3 years since falco won a major tournament. Hell I was the highest placing falco at pound 3 (13th) since foward played mainly fox/sheik. Falco isn't as good as everyone thinks. All the things I said still stand IMO.

I say the doc/mario thing cause I've beaten like every good mario/doc with amazing consistency. I've beaten boss, velocity, bob$, green mario, DJ Nintendo, and probably more that I'm forgetting. I just doesn't seem winnable for them. I mean I don't main them so I guess sheik/marth could be harder but if it is have mercy on their soul lol.

If you ask m2k he thinks falco vs marth is even btw pp&j. As do I.

Yeah I can see Falco vs Marth being even. Falco better pray when he gets knocked of the stage by Marth. But yeah, those lasers man...makes grabbing so much harder. lol

Random question, but Fox and Falco are the only ones with a general consensus advantage over Sheik.
As a Falco main, I personally believe Falco to have the disadvantage against Shiek.

As a Fox secondary, Fox wrecks Shiek's world. <_<

I personally believe Falco's disadvantageous matchups to be:

Marth. Falco, like Fox's disadvantage vs Marth is PURELY stage dependent. It's not the character specifically that wrecks Falco, but which stage Marth is on. Against Marth players, I frequently win on DL64, and Pokemon Stadium, whereas I get my world wrecked at FD, YS, and BF. FoD is neutral, since despite being a passive player, FoD opens up so many options for combos, as well as the platforms being more difficult for Marth to wreck Falco's world with.

Peach, depending ONLY how Falco approaches the matchup. An aggressive Falco will get demolished vs Peach, whereas a passive Falco will turn the matchup into a 50/50.

Jigglypuff, period. Jiggs is a **** hard match for Falco. =\

Shiek. This isn't something I can explain very well. Shiek just.. wins. Period. It's kinda gay. =\
