Falcon Guide Questions

[Deleted member]

I decided to make my upcoming Falcon guide all-inclusive for all skill levels... What are all the frequently asked questions you guys got that I should address?

 

[AdderallAdmiral]

General neutral game plan for each character in top 8
Practice routines
Can't think of anything else right now

 

[Moy]

Best punishes when you get a grab on floaties at low %s.

I'm not sure how many people have seen this. I stumbled into it recently using some googlefu.

I think the layout of the discrete ideas is great. Anyways...

Edge-guarding flowcharts for Spacies.
The platform movement needed for the Falco matchup.
Dealing with crouching puff.

Past that I think going through the index thread and reiterating on important topics is a good idea.
The posts listed there are good but a cohesive and modern perspective would be good.

What squid did for falco has a good range of topics covered very succinctly

 

[Zoltek]

dealing with falco lazers

 

[タオー]

Options for micro-spacing
How to effectively use Falcon's movement options
The way's Falcon can change his game plan in neutral to gain advantage

Any insight into what kinds of things to look for to create openings

So that site is golden, I'd love it if we could format something like that on here, but if not, I'd love to flesh that whole thing out on that site.

It seems the site hasn't been edited since march of this year so the chances of changing the site are slim unless someone can get in contact with the guy

 

[Burglor]

Already been said but neutral game on each of the top 8 would be suuuuuper sick.

 

[Twinkles]

Try explaining neutral game/read-based punish game like its poker. How do you keep the odds in your favor, but pick apart habits to go for gold when it's important?

 

[Equal]

Definitely what OoS options to use in certain scenarios as you seem to be the best at picking the safe/right one s2j.

 

[Takuya Arima]

A general practice guide would be awesome as a new player learning Captain Falcon. I'm aware that Kira has released a short vid, but it would be super sick if you released a more detailed one.

 

[Arii]

It would be awesome if you gave advice on how to effectively use shield stops.

 

[adPEXtwinDoNG]

Live recorded analysis of a set might be easier to brainstorm with too. For example when Mango does analysis its really easy to pick up on insight from him because he focuses on good things to do.

 

[CptCondor]

Recovery and edgeguarding options against the top 8

 

[Ballss]

Ledge drop auto cancel back airs

 

[タオー]

Ledge drop auto cancel back airs

The difficult part of this is just getting the transitions as fast as possible. Make sure you double jump within 2 frames of letting go of ledge, and bair within 2 frames after you double jump. I bair with c stick and it works if it's buffered as well. Not very difficult at all to be honest

 

[Rachman]

how to move/play faster lol. drills and stuff

 

[Schill]

I would really like to see a throw combo percent chart for top 8.

Example: Marth
0-30ish%: dthrow tech chace
30-70ish%: uthrow uair
70-90ish%: uthrow knee
90ish+: dthrow knee

Also someone else said oos options and I think that would be very helpful

 

[AJawesome07]

How to be dope as ****. Yeah teach me how to do that.

 

[smerchman]

how to edge guard as falcon

 

[H!ggins]

What are the benefits/disadvantages of grab - instantly throwing vs. Pummeling.

Weighing all oos options, and where/how to use each option. Mu specific would be nice to know if you can.(as per commented by Equal)

How should you use first hit nair/ late first hit?
I generally think to use after shield dropping and mixing up with sd uair.

Here's a link to U-throw followups for Falco, and Gravy has stun scaling for Falcon's throws on post #25:

How to edgeguard samus

 

[Gnarsty]

Best punishes and easy combos at low/mid/high percentages vs. Spacies + Marth and Shiek.
P.s. personally I really need help with the Luigi matchup.

Edge guarding
