Falco in teams?

[BOLT08]

So I'm sure we've all heard that Falco is god awful in teams. Due to the fact that lasers are tough to pull off without owning your teammate in the face, and chaingrabs are tough to pull off.

I think he could become a viable character on teams if with the correct char for a teammate. Diddy kong i think is certainly a possible one.

What is your opinion with falco on teams? What characters do you think falco can do well with on teams? What are his weaknesses on teams? (Obviously recovery is one)

In theory, Falco and Diddy work well together, as demonstrated by this awesome diagram from p8nted.

lmfao I love that pic so much.



Anyway, honestly I have been trying to experiment with different team combinations with Falco lately. I haven't had a lot of success but I'm just starting to really try. I used to go MK or DeDeDe in teams when I played with Legan, but I never really gave Falco a shot because I just assumed he was bad. So I wanna experiment and see if I can make him work.

Given that, I'm very interested to see how DEHF and SK92 do at the upcoming major tournaments.

LOLZ, that diagram tells all.

Hm... I've had decent success with Mr G&W with Falco. However, that might be cause my friend and I were pretty in sync with what we wanted to do and how to play. In fact, we lost tournament because 1. he ended up going 1 on 1 versus Snake at the end of a match...worse match up=lose.
2. He was fighting a kirby, and hit adown smash that everyone thought hit, but the Kirby realized (about a second later...felt like an eternity in slow motion as I recognized what occurred and couldn't speak fast enough) the situation and fsmashed him to death. All he had to do was litterally down smash again...

Anyway, enough complaining, I find that G&W works really hell. If you want to laser camp, the both of you stick to one side and he can bucket low lasers or just crouch if he's full. He can tech chase and play the while you knock people toward upwards and away. The combination power is actually really high and it's a fun duo to play as. Still, I don't think Falco has very many partners that are viable.

No, he's a loner. It's the only part of falco that sakurai actually kept true to the starfox games.

Falco + Ganon;

Flame Choke -> Laserlock =

Too bad it won't happen though, since the team with Ganon in it
will most likely lose before getting a 2on1-situation ;\

 

[Yumewomiteru]

Falco + ZSS, too gud.

 

[MetalMusicMan]

Falco + ZSS, too gud.

You know, after reading wulfy's idea, that doesn't sound bad at all. I fact, quite... good!
