does the falco d-toss, seriously after a d-toss this is what a falco should do.
d-toss -> walk/dash regrab ->go back to beginning
...........-> DAC grab -> go back to beginning
...........->dashattack -> land punish with f-smash (easily jumped out of)
..................................-> instantly cancel to a u-smash(escapable especially with ZSS)
...........->retreating neutral B for camp reset lol
...........->sj. d-air
...........->sj. fastfall n-air-> u-tilt
........................................-> regrab
........................................-> fsmash
........................................->dash attack -> instant cancel u-smash
Note alot of those arn't exactly true combos just gay *** setups that can be tricy to escape especially with so many options, also note the lack of down B, just don't do that.
All Falco has to do to shut ZSS down is SHDL, downB, and CG to spike (Which is a kill on quite a few stages). It's extremely depressing how simplistic the matchup is for him.
It wouldn't be as bad if armor pieces weren't completely and utterly useless.
CG spike doesn't work(we escape around 40%, and reaction up B grabs ledges, we will not die from a spike for a good while.) also lol armor pieces are the only good thing in this fight, if you still have pieces u can shut his game down. Its just overall his move set is bad for us.
Also yeah we totally **** hard on norfair and RC, its a strong advantagous us.
Let me put it this way, only a falco main(or a close secondary) should CP ZSS with falco, if not they will kinda get owned, because you really have to know the character really well, because alot of the lol gimmicks taht work with most the cast doesn't work exactly the same against ZSS.
I am going to rate the matchup on what I think it is, by level too at least the ones I have decent exp with the match on.
FD 2.5:7.5 falco (we are ****ed) <---ban this so hard
Japes 3:7 falco (really really player dependent, I actually have like a decent track record vs falco on this one)
Smashville 3.5:6.5 falco (p. **** bad)
Yoshi's Island 5:5 (its a close match what can I say)
BF 5.5:4.5 ZSS (this is a weird map I think we win it overall, but it definity has some thigns for falco)
Brinstar 6:4 ZSS (its kinda tricky but lots of platforms lots of love)
RC 7:3 ZSS (watch out for gimps with spike and other junk at low percents)
norfair 7:3 ZSS (you should win this seriously now)
I don't have much exp with other levels, but yeah.
edit: Also drop the pieces to punish roll/over B against falco don't throw them you clods.
