Falco spamming grab lock..... help?

[Link Hero of Hyrule]

Hi I posted something ages ago saying I needed help against a Falco, hes the hardest one on my FL (probably no match 4 the rest of you),but I need help with the above.

In my old post members mentioned a few tactics, and I used them and managed to win 2 out of 6-7 matches. Is there any other tactics when vsing a Falco, apart from using zair, and mindgames on him?

please help me, I want to be as good, or better than him, thx.

(soz no vid of matches havent got a cam)

DAC
Jab Cancel
Zair edge guard
bomb throw to bair
bomb throw to arrow cancel

you have to remember that falco is a Link counter pick. this will be one of your more difficult matches because falco exceeds link in every way (spamming, offense, defense etc)

some basic tips

watch for the grab after the laser approach
learn to power shield fluently
he'll most likely use the shine to stop your approach and your projectiles
learn to meteor cancel the dair

learn to meteor cancel the dair

what? I thought there is no meteor cancel in brawl.

cause of edit: changed was to is

Have a bomb in your hand to stop the Chain Grab.

Don't get grabbed.

wait wait what? Meteor cancel o.O? just UP B:ing after the Dair hit? Like in Melee :o?

Falco falls fast so use utilts or upsmash.

you can meteor cancel in brawl, its just a lot harder to time with a jump

if you mash on up B without tap jump off i think you can do it perfectly every time, but good luck recovering with only link's up b....

If he spams his lasers I block them with the awesome sheild, by crouching, and by throwing bombs at him whilst hes doin that, so then he comes to me.

the first clip isn't meteor canceling it's a walljump tech

fighting falco, don't get grabbed, it's like fighting ic's in melee, if you get grabbed, you will PROBABLY lose your stock. so don't get grabbed at low percent
