Hey first time posting, i don't know if its been asked before didn't do a lot of looking around but what if when you are Dair Shining a shield, instead of SH Dair out of shine if you where to JC grab out of shine instead?

First do a regular pillar when they are shielding, then instead of SH out of Shine and Dair again, can't you just do a JC grab, or is not worth it because falco dosn't have the best of throws

Edit: By JC grabs i mean a shine grab

Yes you can do it and its a solid mixup, for example do 2 pillars and a shinegrab every time you pressure, youll have conditioned your oponent to that rythm, and if you see that he spotdodges the grab, do 3 pillars, and punish the spotdodge.

Falcos grabs are good for positioning, and if your oponen has bad di, or you condition him to di some way because of what throw you use, you can grab>throw>regrab like 5 times (hilarious when this happens) but the best grab falco has is upthrow, since rising bair is super good, and rising flutterhush (yes it works) gives good damage if more than 2 hits connect, if only 1 connects, then it puts them on an awkward position, since its a distance somewhat shorter than nair, but longer than softhit reverse bair.

Experiment with your grab game, and always throw your enemy to a place that gives you the advantage (out of stage, in the air)
