Yeah... :/ But, it can add some pressure off stage, so I guess it can't be practically unusable.I really don't like how nerfed D-Air is.

You can't seem to escape his f-air anymore so you can basically destroy people if you catch them with it while fast falling offstage. Have killed myself a number of times trying to do this though. Seems better than d-air honestly.What do you guys think of Falco's gimping/off stage abilities? Isn't it... amazing?
Yeah, it's really risky, but the reward is great.You can't seem to escape his f-air anymore so you can basically destroy people if you catch them with it while fast falling offstage. Have killed myself a number of times trying to do this though. Seems better than d-air honestly.
Has been confirmed/disconfirmed Falco´s DACUS in this game? I only know about Sheik but dont know if exists more info about DACUS on other characters.Falco's DACUS is not the same as in Brawl. It's about one or two steps from a regular dashing up smash. I don't know the buffering mechanics in this game and I don't know where to get that information from so there may still be hope for BDACUS.
Here's some of my approaches. Approaching with shuffled Bairs is great, since the move has like no landing lag. Personally, I think the phantasm works well too, cept you have to short hop it like in brawl to have less recovery.So, how has everybody been approaching with Falco? I like to either dash attack or run in and jab, though there are probably better options. What else is there?
You can confirm who has a DACUS by going into training mode, setting the speed to 1/4 and doing a dash attack then do the up smash. Falco has it but it's not worth it if you ask me. Shiek, Robin, Shulk, Rosalina, and Wario have DACUS' worth using at this point. I don't know if the Wii U version will have different mechanics due to the limitations of the current 3ds but hopefully Sakurai will listen to the competitive smashers for patches.Has been confirmed/disconfirmed Falco´s DACUS in this game?

Slightly lower startup and cooldownWhat are the advantages for IAP apart from more range?
Yeah, mate. IAP is Instant Aerial Phantasm. In Brawl it removed the ending lag of the move but in SSB4 I think its much more useless :/ Anyway, yep, if you IAP, you wont stop at the edge of platforms, that can help you in some situations.Apologies for my lack of knowledge but what's IAP? I'm guessing Instant Aerial Phantasm but I'm not 100% sure. Never really got into Falco in Melee or Brawl. If it is what I'm thinking of, isn't the only benefit less ending and or starting lag? Also because of the way Phantasm works in this game, an aerial one wouldn't stop at the edge like a grounded one does. 'Course I could be totally off on this whole IAP thing '-';

Hehe, I'll be the first to say I am nowhere near competitive enough in Brawl to have properly looked into such techniques, let alone actively use them when playing. The fact that this was apparently common knowledge surprises me as I had seen practically no discussion of this in Smash 4 threads. Still, now it should hopefully reach far more people than before, and we can really start to see it.^ I feel like this was really obvious to me.
I guess because I just knew/understood how the game works from the get go?
Day 1 observation was that air dodges have auto cancel frames after you can act out of them and any technical brawl player knew about auto cancels on aerials before they come out due to Platform cancelling.
It wasn't even discovered by DeLux either.
Forget dair, you have better options everytime you think about using it xDWhat's something that combos into dair?
People underrate him because they don't get what the new Falco is all about. He's pure footsies, so only the most hardcore players can max him out.is SO underrated in this game LOL!
