As a loyal falco main, of course i, as well as all of im sure, want to do your very best to be as good as possible with him. And to be as good as you can, this is going to require some technical gameplay. So, i say we help each other out in this thread. I am Going to make a list of falcos technical moves, as well as an explanation on how to do them, and if i am missing anything, please feel free to tell me the name of the move, and an explanation on how to do said move. So, here is the list i've compiled so far:
*if i dont specify what to initiate the dash attack with assume i mean the A button assuming no controls were changed.*
Hyphen Smashing: The act of initiating a dash, than during the dash animation hitting up on the C-Stick to perform an Up-Smash with more range than a normal up-smash.
Gattling Combo: The act of dashing at an opponent, hitting your opponent with the dash attack, and as soon as the attack connects, hitting up on the C-Stick to cancel out the dash attack with an immediate Up-Smash.
Boost Smashing: Once again entering the dash animation, but this time doing a dash attack by hitting down on the C-Stick, than hitting up on the joystick + Z. The result of the button combo should be an Up-Smash being charged while sliding the length of the cancelled dash attack. The longer Z is held, the longer it will be charged.
Pivot Grabbing: Dashing, than very quickly hitting the opposite direction on the joystick, than immediately after hitting Z. The result should be a quick grab in the opposite direction, an if timed right, you will slide.
Boost Grabbing: Follow Boost Smash directions, but instead of hitting up + Z, simply hit Z as soon as the dash attack is initiated. The reult should be a sliding grab, with much more range.
Reverse Boost Smash: Do a dash, than while running hit the control stick in the opposite direction, than immidatley hitting up on the joystick, followed by A + X. The result should be an Up-Smash charging in the opposite direction you were running.
Reverse Boost Grabbing: This is pretty much a mix of boost grabbing and boost grabbing. What you do is run, initiate the boost grab, and hit the opposite direction on the joystick. The result should be a pivot grab, with a huge slide in it.
This is all I have on falcos technical game. If i am missing anything, or explained something wrong on a said technique, please tell me and i will edit my post. I will post vids soon showing each technique and what they should look like, and, if i am lucky, ill get some vids of the techniques in action.
