Who is the easiest opponent for you when you play as Falco?

For me I generally find Captain Falcons and Mewtwo's easy.

Maybe also who's the hardest?

Well im not exactly from Aberdeen i actually live in peterhead but if you live in aberdeen you should know where its at :p .... links grab can be a pain but if he misses it, it's easy to punish because of the lag time... how good are you at smash btw? :p

Yeah I know where Peterhead is.

As for being good at smash...I probably have no idea. I've only been playing it 8 months and there's not a lot of people to play.

Maybe. I'm kinda worried about soon going to Aberdeen College just now.
As for Bowser players. My boyfriend plays a decent bowser but I beat him with Falco.
He doesn't play as often as me however so probably unfair.
Whenever we play tiny Melee, he picks young link and uses the Up+B attack a lot. The sound is so high pitched and funny:laugh:

Err Bowser. Seriously he is a HUGE target you can't even miss at all.

Hardest..Marth. >.> Counter happy Marths usually messes up Falco's game..sort of not really maybeish.
Same here, bowser is definitely the easiest, cause he is so slow, and you can hardly miss him. And the hardest is marth because his aerial game really messes up falcos, and marth can punish falcos bad recovery..

I'll have to say that Bowser & Mewtwo are the two easiest and the hardest would be marth/peach (sometimes)/ and fox

Mewtwo is so much easier than bowser. But then again I haven't played a professional Mewtwo, just people at a decent level.

Personally I think ganon is the easiest, he's slow, can't do anything when you're gayzering, and has no defensive options when you're attacking. At least Bowser has the fortress from shield.

if you can outspace them ganon is really in your favor, due to laser and combo options.
i also like playing captain falcon because of the great combos and edgegaurd falco has over him, but cf if played properly and severly kill falco.



Marth is a hard matchup due to range and grabs, you have to laser well, have excellent spacing and recovery tricks are key to ebating a good marth.


peach is just anoying as helll, and her chaingrab hurts and her dsmash *****.

i find fox to be a hard matchup too, his uthrow combos and shine kills are frustrating

Eh. Personally, I find Sheik to be Falco's easiest matchup, aside from maybe other Falcos.

The rest of the matchups down the line all have their annoying points. I'm also not taking low tiers into account.

Fox can gay Falco in many different ways, and also has a simple 0-(death?) cg on Falco.

Falco - Whoever can combo/DI better will win.

Sheik - You can combo Sheik easily, and proper DI can save you from the gayer combos that Sheik will attempt to string together.

Marth - Sword's annoying, 0-death CG is annoying, his edgeguard is annoying.

Peach - Dsmash. 40-death CG, turnips, aerial superiority.

CF - nasty tech-chasing game, knee nets CF early kills. Also has Falcon punch combo D:

Samus - Difficult to kill. UpB out of shield neutralizes pillaring. Missiles can be a pain, so can her tilts and aerials, not to mention fsmash/dsmash.

Ganon - You may THINK Ganon's easy to combo, which he might be, but a properly spacing Ganon is a ***** to play against.

Doc - CG, cape, bair, pills.

So IMO Sheik is one of Falco's easier matchups, and Marth would be one of the more difficult ones.

have you played a good ganon yet? he is not as easy as you think, b/c if you take 3 hits from him, your basically dead. and he's pretty hard to kill unlesss you edgeguard

I would say Bowser. Bowser users still have trouble dodging Falco's lasers. And it's pretty easy to over bear them with pillaring. The bigger they are the harder they fall.

I dont really have any good ppl sooo, ahahhaa. OK. Hmm... Im saying this from what I know about tthe characters cuz the only good oppenents I have are Links, Yl , Sheik (This kid is a monster!) some kid tryin to be better than me at fox by Usmashin evry 10 secs.. aand.. a couple decent roys.. I actually watched a few vids of Falco about an hour ago. Peach was devasting some falco.. it was hilarious. So ima say hardest is Peach/Marth. Easiest is boozer I figure but I would need 1st hand expirence to be sure on that one.. Ive seen some Boozers own big time.

Peach is probably Falco's worst match up. I personally find Jiggz to be one of Falco's hardest match ups. She can CC under the SHL and Uthrow-->rest is killer. Bthrow to edge-guard is a beast too. To quote my friend: Falco is so easy to gimp.

For easiest match up, I'd say probably G&W. It's really easy to shield stab him w/ Dtilts and you can also combo him pretty good. Pika's pretty easy too, SHL walls pretty much all of his approaches. Just, try not to get grabbed.

I wouldn't say Mewtwo is Falco's easiest matchup if the Mewtwo player knows what he's doing. Take a took at Taj's Mewtwo for example :p. The reason Mewtwo is easy is because no one plays him on a pro level.

The hardest I think are either Marth or Peach.

I like to play against Fox and Falcon although none of my friends can play him as well as my Falco so maybe that'll change one day :p.

lol mewtwo... lol id say any char >>>>> mewtwo so iunno about that, however if u are talkin about any char thats a non-lowest tier, i find that links, young links and samuses are pretty easy because they rely on projectiles, and if you spam laser.... yeahuz you know whats up

If a bowser lets you do that he is probably the suckiest bowser i've ever seen. Play a good bowser, die around thirty percent a couple of times, and then tell me falco vs bowser is the easiest match-up ever. Sure Falco has a lot more on Bowser, but don't underestimate a good one, unfortunately besides like the 15 of us in the country your just going to get randoms scrubs that want to be different and main a low tier.

As for my falco experience easiest match-up ever goes to Kirby, come on now, everyones easiest match-up ever goes to Kirby.

Not everyone's... Sheik's easiest is Bowser or Ness (Can't decide which matchup is worse), a few characters might have an easier time with one of the other bottom 4. But Kirby is the easiest for a lot of characters.

The hardest I've ever had was probably a cross between Peach and a GOOD Ganon. Marth isnt the hardest but he isnt the easiest either. The easiest Matchup would be DK and Bowser.
Against a good Kirby BTW one might have problems! Unless your dair is sharp!
