Falco feels lonely

Well he doesn't have too many friends. It's lonely at the top.

flaco is amazing

He is indeed. He is also incredibly frustrating to learn, however.

Worth it at the end though. Even if youre not winning any matches, using him well is somwehat satisfying

This is my own personal bit but performing well with the top tiers always feels dissatisfying. If I do crappy, all I can think of is "man, I can still do bad with the characters from the top?" and if I do well it's expected. I get much more of a great feeling from kicking ass with the fair to middling characters, especially against the top tier. Shine combos with Falco are sweet! Satisfying beyond belief. But (!) kicking Falco's sorry tailfeathers around with C. Falc can't be beat.
I watched a few skimmed episodes of the anime, and read some comments on the clips, then discussed it with someone who has both read and watched it for a good run-down of it.
Sounds like it would be pretty cool. Good character development, always a good change of pace and main-events. Good combo of goodness right there.
I'll still with Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind for now though. Too. Good.

I'm one of the only people I know who's not a fan. I just don't see how you can emotionally connect to that large of a cast to begin with when they introduce characters as they slay others. It's a formula to make a cast with potential that ultimately falls flat for their impending doom and your lack of caring because of it. /2centsI watched a few skimmed episodes of the anime, and read some comments on the clips, then discussed it with someone who has both read and watched it for a good run-down of it.

It also doesn't seem to have much for altruistic, or any other purpose for reading outside of some of a few limited morals. Lots of explosive transitions based of despair, in terms of character-growth for each of them, but it's a tricky thing to do properly when the entire universe of the story is based on something excessively dramatic and non-contrasting to begin with. Over-the-top is 'catchy' for that reason, though novelties wear off for that same reason. Nothing sticks unless it has a quality of value that will make a person go 'I want to experience that story again, because somehow I know I'll get more from it if I go through it again, because somehow I know I've grown from it.'

Jesus, agreed. Avatar the Last Airbender is insane, literally with only hyper limited shortcomings (not including the ending). Also your above reasoning is why I so highly rate FLCL. If only more anime (and the legend of Korra) could aspire to have such value.
What's FLCL?
Korra is the perfect sequel, as it's not trying to duplicate such a piece of art, and it's doing the opposite side of the spectrum, even being frustrating to watch the ignorance of such a thing is very directly related to typical life relationships and 'seeming' dilemma's. Everything from the potential to 'learn from the mistakes of others so you don't have to make your own' to 'we're all on the same team so we might as well act like it' is present there, which were absent from LoA since that series was kind of 'the step beyond' that for much of it.
Perfect for filling the gaps, in a way, fine-detailing. The creators are aware enough to know they shouldn't pursue something like a duplication, of even wave at it, and when someone puts care into their art, it's noticeable even when it's not the masterpiece. LoK is a good seed of LoA. I wouldn't ask for more, even though it 'could' in other context (not an LoA follow-up).
Stories are the best ways to get messages across. Guaranteed. I'm glad there are people who care deeply enough to use stories as a way to inspire. <3

In actual related news, what's the consensus on the Falco vs Falcon matchup from Falco's perspective?

Kill him if you touch him.
Don't get touched or you'll be killed.
How?
Just like everyone else, it just happens to be a little more in the extreme of 'the holes are BIG in Falcon's game if he DOES anything, but if you DO anything, he WILL punish you for the hole you leave'
Same idea though. Choke and be sexy.

do falcos grabs feel any different to anyone else? Along with his up b? To me it feels like he cant move as much after his upb and his laser from the grabs are different to DI.

I have a question, why did PMBR change falco's moveset from the brawl one to be back to being a fox clone, I mean it confuses me I thought people didn't like clone characters, like I understand wanting to make him as competitive as he was in melee and all and changing his reflector back was a good move in my opinion but why change all his A moves (minus the jab combo) to resemble fox's I figured he had some pretty cool animations that fit his character (this isn't meant to cause any problems or anything i'm just curious)
Nguz95
Smash Lord
Falco was both one of the most dangerous and popular characters form Melee. The subtle differences between him and Fox made him play less like a clone than most people realize. Additionally, the PMBR set out to recreate the top Melee vets as part of their mission statement. Project M was not designed to be like Brawl +, which sought to balance the Brawl cast. Project M was designed to be a spiritual successor to Melee, which was aimed primarily at competitive Melee players. This necessitated keeping the top threats from Melee completely intact.
GeZ
Smash Lord
Along with Nguz's statement I'd like to pitch in that Falco is to Fox as Falcon is to Ganon. Only the most untrained eye sees their tool set as anything but polarizing. While some animations are very similar, if not blatantly the same, the results of the hits varies drastically, creating a very VERY different character.

So how do you guys feel about your new alternate? Pretty hype? It got me to dust off my Falco and give him a spin again, if not just for a little while. For those who don't know got to 10:20 on this vid: http://www.twitch.tv/vgbootcamp/b/484761034

Unfortunately I think that's just a texture Jcaesar had on his SD. The character select screen, the battle icon, and the texture did not match up, which tell me that the red Falco was just a texture. Black Olimar is in a similar boat. I could be wrong, but those are my impressions.
GeZ
Smash Lord
I'd agree, but I've played with Dantarion on his Wii and his also had Black Olimar. I need to ask him if it's a custom skin or a change. I don't know how he'll feel about my asking about Falco though, since that hasn't been formally announced. I'll see and edit this in a bit?

I remember on one of the streaks someone was complaining how he'd always mix up falco to always be in the blue team cuz of his skin; prob theyre trying to see if this fits/helps or its just a texture
GeZ
Smash Lord
I can confirm Black Olimar is that color, which is awesome. Turned my favorite color even cooler. And I'm asking about Falco's now.
Hello, new player here. Played melee for years, decided to go serious after watching Evo2k13, have a lot of work to do. I've decided to play Falco, and I have a question about b-reversals. Is it viable to SH away from an approaching opponent only to B-reverse a laser to counter attack?
Nguz95
Smash Lord
The turnaround laser is more effective because there is a little endlag from the laser. It keeps you safer than b reversing does because you can't get shield grabbed if they shield the laser. I recommend you check out Mogwai's Falco thread here: http://smashboards.com/threads/mogw...gue-of-legends-and-doesnt-write-stuff.203781/
This thread has a ton of great stuff about Falco, especially his lasers. If you have any questions, someone might be able to answer them here.

Yeah. It's another Laser mixup. It could easily set you up for a grab, shine combo.

If you short hop phantasm from the middle of Battlefield, you'll grab the ledge. So that's something.

Yes it's very strange. I'm currently figuring out the distances on other stages. You can also do it from two "tiles" distance on Skyworld, and right under the farthest edge of the middle platform on Yoshi's Story. You can do it with every ledge, the only hard part is knowing the distance.

Eternal Hitstun
Oh I thought everyone knew you could do that. It's useful sometimes to continue combos and when you pull it off as a combo extender it looks pretty cool. You can also attempt to spike someone with it who is close to grabing a ledge but if you miss them you're going to lose a stock. So that one not so much...

Does it work in Melee?
