Oh yeah completely forgot about that XD

Do you normally CP battlefield in that instance?
I used to counterpick Battlefield vs MK's but I'm now afraid to after I played Plank at Apex where he air planked me aka went on the top platforma and used all of his jumps dairing until the time ran out.

He first got a 30 percent lead then did this. Most MK players will not do this but just in case I usually cp Smashville. Have been thinking about Halberd.

keitaro you can beat air planking >__>;

just wait for him to exhaust his jumps and then do the uair+bair juggle trap or actually just read his airdodge and bair/uair

Lol not true at all. I have much better aerial mobility than falco. If you try to come at me i will just beat any of your moves with dair or tornado. People always see the strategies I do and go "oh, that is easily avoided" (me vs puffster) until I do it against them. A smart player abusing Brawl's gay tactics is more efficient than anyone can really understand from an outside view.

actually since you're here, plank, could you describe exactly how you air plank? it'd be useful to have information coming from the "master" himself to try and devise strategies around it. you yourself indicated that puffster used an extremely inflexible style of play against your aircamping and didn't make an effort to try and fight it very well at all. what keitaro described to me seemed to be beatable because dair has enough lag after it where you can uair or quickly bair, i think. even if you tornado if the falco DIs during the first few frames and ADs through the side of the tornado it'd be punishable, no? but please, if you could describe air planking and why exactly it's so effective (esp. vs falco) it'd be great so that the FBR could have something to do for our hardest matchup along w/ Snake (hardest =/= most lopsided...this matchup requires way more thinking than others)

also in no way did i say beating air planking was easy lol, i just said it was doable. it requires a lot of effort and courage because you basically have to be willing to constantly try and initiate trades or guessing games and not be afraid of taking some damage in return for stopping the planking even momentarily.

I had originally posted these in the "Critique my Falco" thread but apparently that's pretty dead seeing this is here but anyway...

I gave up on Falco some weeks ago but while I was using him as a secondary I managed to get some footage. BTW I hate recovering to the ledge against Marth because I've eaten numerous tippers that way for some reason. Stupid sword...but yeah critique away.

... that marth is just terrible...

You way outmatched him, so really I can't comment on this very well. It's best to post a match you lose, we won't think you're bad or anything, it makes rating easier.

work on your shdl timing, don't try to CG marth, instead on lower (0-9) go for dthrow > gatling, hold shield, regrab, usmash (dont gatling again, easily DI-able n stuff)

CGing marth is often just not worth the risk, you can try the buffered chaingrab but i prefer just using the method above.

I know I have footage of me getting wrecked by Nope. I just have to ask my friend to hunt on his laptop for it.

I usually do Dthrow x2/3 (from 0%) to Gattling Combo. It's like an instant 40-45% damage.

Hey guys-- Falco was my first main, technically he's my 2ndary now to DeDeDe but I am probably going to re-main him again at my next Circuit Event because I've been practicing him a lot lately.



Here's my only recent tournament match (Joker's Monthlies June, I got 5th using mostly DeDeDe) with him (more to come soon hopefully):

MetalMusicMan vs Ngamer (Falco vs Yoshi) Tournament

haha, plank
the MK's that i played so far that dair camp are
M2K, DSF, Tyrant, obviously theres more that i still have to play

but falcos laser camp>>>>>>>>>>>>MK's dair camp

i figured out that gay strategy, its just only hard to punish M2K's air camp, because he has better spacing than all of you "MK" mains out there.

nah lol, he got too far behind at the beginning, lasers dont do enough to catch up.. especially not on battlefields top platform.

He's back.

He came back at Ozzfest, going Marth/Falco.

Now he's using him most the time, but also Marth and MK sometimes to.

to beat the MK dair camp

instead of playing patient when they are in the air.
Just trade hits with them using bairs and etc.
giving the mk time to play patient and dair camp makes them more hard to hit.
but once falco is in the lead, just laser camp all day and that makes the MK go on an offense, which will be his down fall.


oh and to prevent an MK to flying in the air just do a basic shdl to keep him on the ground that way u could try to approach him with grab cautiously, so you could start out a chaingrab, I've seen DEHF do that. So i had to take that from him lol.

lol, i know. this was one of. adding more is a pain in the butt no thanks to vista. A simple conversion program does not even work. It's a fun match to watch though.

i think he has played judge. when i playeed judge last at the tourney he said he had played sk before. but i dunno. and i hardly care to much. no point in making a usless argument on my part.
