Change your timings and your approaching moves.

This. They can only predict those things perfectly if you are predictable.

Additionally, you don't have to be on offense, per se, all the time. You can throw out safe moves and bait your opponent, etc.

Is there not a Falcon skype group here?

Grab when they shield and wait to punish the spot dodge.

how do you punish someone who spots every time you approach them (try to dash grab them)

 

[teluoborg]

You charge an Usmash.

Or if you want 100% success : dash > shield > drop shield > hold A to autojab. Autojab beats every spotdodge.

This is pretty good advice. More generally, anything you can do to keep your approaches varied will make you less predictable, which means they can't use the same defense every time.

A pivot tilt may also work in the dash grab spot dodge situation. But as teluoborg said, autojab is a really safe option that close. There's nothing they'll have out of spot dodge that will beat your jab.

Alright, let's talk about U-Tilts. Any tips on how to get those to work? Any way to combo into them? As a man trying to break into the competitive Sm4sh scene, any and all advice would be appreciated. Please and thank you! ^_^

The only ones can think of at the moment is up air into the ground > up tilt and down air > up tilt > knee if they don't tech the down air.

 

[Nixon Corral]

Also, if you're not aware, it has a meteor hitbox in Smash 4, which is a change from past games (but I assume that change is why you're asking about it).

Consequently, opponents hit out of the air with it can also tech it with quick reflexes.

Oooh I just thought of something. What if you up tilt them and if they tech the spike maybe you can do an f smash.

 

[S.P.A.D.]

Maybe, I'm unsure on the timing of that. Seems like at about 15% I want to say you can actually do a SH Nair into one or two utilts into almost an aerial of your choice. I don't believe the utilts will be spiking because of the angle you're hitting but I think it should connect.

 

[bigbro2233]

I'm having a rough time getting The Knee right. In previous games, I was jumping around and kneeing people like a madman. But now, whenever I go for an airborne (or grounded) target, they always seem to avoid it or the knee doesn't connect all. Is there any strategy to timing this move?

 

[Lionman]

wow this april´s fools

 

[teluoborg]

Yeah I was wondering how they could top last year's old school skin. Well they succeeded.

Figured I'd post my silhouettes in the social threads, you guys might think they're cool... Let me know if this kind of stuff is annoying and I'll stop.

That's pretty nice work man. Will you do the other colors ?

I did the other colors actually, they're on my deviantart... Somewhere... But I only have those two available as shirts... Though if you have shirt requests for the other colors I'm glad to accommodate.

 

[MonkBard]

Unfortunately, I only have a 3DS at the moment. :'(

Also, at Grand Traverse Smash last month, there was a raffle and I won the art commission. My current avi is the result :3

If you want to do the whole bit of iron ons, sure. But I do sell them.

Thanks for the effort man, these images are awesome! (Hence, I am still using them for my sig )

Hi Falcons. I've been messing with this guy a good bit and may make him into a serious secondary. Possibly a main at some point. His ability to completely turn games around off of 2-3 reads is insane.

Posting because I saw this and was like: .......

Sub 60%? Jeez.

Hum pretty nice but I like my shirts a little more subtle. I'll keep browsing your DA tho because even while they're simple your arts are pretty slick.

 

[Themeatgrinder]

Does any Falcon wanna help me practice? I just picked him up as a main and I want to improve my Falcon

 

[Ffamran]

Have an awesome animation of Captain Falcon. I didn't make this by the way.

The way he's drawn reminds me of The Flash. Y'know, I wouldn't mind a leaner Captain Falcon, but whatever. Also, @Space Stranger.

I'll help you out, if you got a 3DS.

That Falcon should have won that set... the way he lost was kinda dumb and cheezy. (Especially considering Pika has an advantage on the MU).

Alright, I added you. Feel free to add me

Can someone help me learn to read? As Fabulous Falcon, it always seems to be a pain for me to read rolls, air dodges, etc. Or do I play until reading becomes a thing? By the way, I only have 3ds Smash at the moment.

could you run up jump past them and then back air them??

In the wise words of Bruce Lee, "Don't think. Feel." Personally, I don't worry about reads, since Falcon is a rushdown character, but if you want to focus more on his strong punishing game, then spot-dodging is your friend. Actually, I was able to spot-dodge a CPU Lucario's counter, so that was pretty hype.

But if I feel, I become Shulk!

All joking aside, I want to rushdown, but punish air dodges and the like. Like Air Dodge > Hard Knee.
