I went to a tourney yesterday and got first with falcon/sheik/fox. I use them all about equally. No more no less. The tourney before that, I got top 15 going all falcon only out of like 90 people. So the tourney on Sunday was for me to see how far I can go with using all my other fun chars.

Captain Douglas Jay Falcon got this. I just wish SS would response to me about my request of going double falcon in teams at axis but he never replied to me =(

Champ.

you're the reason i practice.
lol.

ALSO, if you and SS did doubles with both falcons, I'm pretty sure you guys would tear it up, because honestly even though some argue that falcon isn't great for singles, he's definitely not too shabby in teams.

Two **** Falcons= holy ****ing s*** pressure. lol.

The sheer manly would make opponents jump off the edge to avoid being smited by them.

the sheer manlyness would make them win without playing. the opponents already SD'd before they SD. before the announcer says go the falcon's would already have won, even if the control stick stays untouched, they win. In fact, this alone makes that brawl impossible, as the announcer will never say GO when he is supposed to say GAME.

programming paradox?

All he had to do was pick Falcon on the character select. They just gave him the prize money right there.

thanks for the support every!

I really wish I can team with ss because I always wanted to see double falcon punch haha.

None of the vids were recorded cause Glen aka getyourtournament.com aka the best source for socal vids wasn't there. Sorry guys.

I kinda decided already to go one by one, as in falcon only then falcon/sheik/fox then falcon only etc.

I been developing a new falcon strategy lately. Also adding some stuff that I picked up from watching ss vids. He's very good at reading the opponent's movement. Defensive is his style and I prefer agressive style haha.

He's got nice movement and such but it seems like he uses Raptor Boost a lot (on the ground). He tries to punish almost every missed move with it.
Who are you talking about? Champ right?

Raptor Boost is punishable if used at the wrong time, but out of a dash dance your opponent almost always gets hit by it, and after a missed attack (depending on the ending lag), it's a great move to use.

A long time ago all of us said that raptor boost sucked really bad lol...when really it isn't used enough. It lacks priority, but I've recently been using it in different ways and it works well. Try running away from your opponent and then quickly raptor boosting the other direction towards them, or dash dancing in place for half a second or so and then letting out a raptor boost.

Just try it. It's not a bad move.

Actually, no, I was talking about SS. I've noticed though that although it can be easily shieldgrabbed, most other attacks out of shield arn't fast enough to punish it.

raptor boost **** if u don't spam it. Spam it too much and they will realize how to punish it.

As stated before, works best from dash dance or an out of no where move. If it hit's their shield, just start jabbing cause some time u can jab before they hit u.

Ahhh...gotcha. hahaha...wow, he does use RB a lot. I guess Mike was giving him a ton of opportunities for it though. Still, he had some better options there...see what you mean now.
