Fox because after you play fox enough you realize he's the best char in the game and stop playing your main.

WTF... you play falco, don't waste your time learning other characters. you could have spent time learning a match up instead just counterpicking which probably won't work against a good player

I don't really have a secondary I use in tournament, but if I did use one character some then it would probably Fox(with Marth right behind him).

I bust out Falcon or Mario in friendlies sometimes, but whenever it's business I'm usually always Falco =)

I also like playing Yoshi, not as much as the other 3, but he's still legit ^^

Jiggs isn't THAT bad for falco.

as long as you can DI the U-throw 100% consistantly and recover like a champ its a pretty even matchup.

with that said imo it is falcos worst matchup, or one of his worst ones.

Main: Falco

Secondaries: IC's, Ganon, and Fox

They're all fun to play, and they cover some matchups I still struggle with for falco (namely, puff and marth, though playing IC's against sheik is fun ♥)

fox. he's like a hardcore version of my main, which works much better for doubles, and some crappy floaty matchups that i hate. i'm trying to main both.

Fox, because back then I chose Fox and Falco because I liked Star Fox.

They both eventually turned out to be really good characters and I had no real reason to change them since they were my favorites as well.

does playing fox against peach on FD count as a secondary? Otherwise I go pure falco against all characters on all stages ( except peach on FD )

I think that if you're good enough with falco, there really isn't any justification for a secondary.

hmm, idk. zhu goes fox against puffs. i think that's solid justification, even though he could prob win w/falco. why pass up an edge though (assuming you can play fox well of course)

he probably plays fox because he feels uncomfortable with falco. i don't know the guy personally, but that seems the general consensus on falco vs puff. ironically i believe most puffs would rather play fox than falco any day. Most people don't have the patience, and mental fortitude to play the fox vs puff match on a high level for an extended period of time. Fox doesn't have Falco's ability to control space and force the approach, and most Fox players don't have the capacity to run the clock out.

hard to believe when the consensus seems to be that falco/puff is even and fox/jiggs is in fox's favor


edit: at least i thought it was? could be wrong obv
