Falco vs Samus

[ChrisRoxal]

So this match up has been messing me up for a while, I have looked for forums about it but I don't feel like I get the information I need to truly dominate this match up, my questions about this match up are how to I properly aproach Samus ? How do I properly combo and kill her ? how to properly edge guard her ? and how to deal with her CC ?

You should check frootloop at SWEET prologue. He seamed to have an idea.

Mango is pretty good at this matchup and so is PPMD, but they along with numerous other falco mains sometimes switch to secondaries like fox and marth. apparently HMW also claims to know how to strategically play the matchup whenever he commentates on it.

General tidbits but not indepth:
Being safe>going aggro. dont be the guy that gets wavedash back forward smashed, downsmashed, or up b'd from when shield pressuring unsafe.
Respect samus up b, sometimes late aerial into shield is a good option.
di the up b by holding one direction and not spazzing out.
try not to combo with shine but multiple aerials/uptilt
Samus can't really approach, so dont feel forced to approach yourself

Can falco get anything of a throw in this match up ?
