Do you know of any?
I'd just like to see it done more often with my Falco properly. I saw Carl (FalseFalco) Laser -> Grab a lot before.

Are there videos of any other players who laser approach really well? :grin:

i think the laser game is just about variety. Zhu does a pretty nifty job of laser approaching in the recent NCB vids :p

Pay attention to the way he mixes up dash dancing with lasers, shielding with lasers, and just maneuvering over all... it takes precision to do that..

imo forward has the the best laser game period. He completely out-laser'd dashizwiz when they played (still a good match).

and bombsoldier has some tricks i've seen only him do.

Mathos just sits there and spams though doens't he? At least thats what i hear. its still effective anyhow so : /

All the pros have good approaches, their styles just vary, thats all.

Mathos is pretty good. Forward, Lambchops, and PC are very solid laserers. There's alot of good videos out there of great lasering; B-will had a good one. Silent Wolf, when he plays Falco, can laser very well as well.

lambchops is amazing. i loved the set against linguini, that **** was crazy.

B-Will is garbage at the game and plays marth now anyways. i'm mming him this weekend if he comes to my tourney though.

I HOPE YOU READ THIS TRAITOR. i drew him a nice little picture the other day though of his falco since it doesn't exist anymore

no man. you have to watch the lambchops vs. linguini set. Lambchops has the best lasering i've ever seen in my life. Hands down.

Every single one is well placed, and his entire spam-play is actually strategic. It works to trap opponents for free grabs and to keep the flow of even a missed tech chase going. Its insane.

One laser into aerial =/= good laser approach. Standing SHL spam =/= good laser approach.

Go find vids of pretty much any good Falco, and most of them will make at least decent use of the annoying little red projectile. IMO, I think Lambchops has the most disgusting laser lockdown that I've seen recently.

He may seem to spam randomly a lot, but he doesn't. He has some sick *** lazer combos that you'll never see coming.

agreed. lambchops has some really good double jump lasers / platform lasers etc... i recently tried using some of this stuff and it helps alot against ppl who full hop camp.

Lolz laser camping is easy on ganon. But Lambchops is very good with lasers. He and I are similar in that he uses old school laser tricks but he adds his FL tech skill for some flash.

If you want some laser tips I wouldn't look at 3 year old Mathos vids lolz (it was sweet during its time), but look up some Lambchops and Forward vids.

wheres the self-confidence.

You are still insane with lasers. Its just in that never-get-hand-cramps way of SHLing that just keeps going and going. Maybe I'm thinking only about that match vs. Green Mario. but still, lol incessant lasers are just as good as well placed ones. >_>

I wasn't being unconfident, I was saying that if you want to learn laser tricks you shouldn't look at ridiculously old videos. Old vids don't really help anyone out; you don't want to learn old mindgames.

Lolz well people shouldn't pick camping stages and lasers won't be a problem.

.... How important can lasers can be?

I shoot some... but lately i've been gay with them. Lambchops knows. I just played him at a tournament a week ago...

And yeah Forward definitely out lasered me, first time we played.

eh, I don't really see a point of this thread.

Pretty much every falco in the stickied video guide has an exceptional laser game.
