Falcon Kick jump recovery - question.

[Steerclear]

When someone told me about the trick using the Falcon Kick to recover an extra jump, I think I missed something. I get plummeted so far with it that it's even worse than when I started. And it seems like I don't get a jump until a full second after the move is over. Just watched this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQq1m4uzKt8). Check around 2:06. Is there a particular reason he is able to recover so faster after a Falcon Kick?

If you get knocked at a fairly high trajectory, you can use your second jump, then falcon kick, then second jump again. It usually limits you to a low recovery, and you can get edgehogged, but it's better than falling to your doom.

Semi-related question: When I get hit at higher percentages, should I just DI up and towards the stage, to make using the falcon kick recovery easier?

Yeah, you've got to be pretty high up in the air because the kick travels so far before you get your second jump. Just toy around with it. Not useful at lower percentages, but can keep you alive at higher %'s.

Yes, you should do that as all characters.If you get hit parallel to the stage (straight right) and you DI parallel to that (DI straight left) it will do NOTHING. DI up and towards to get an effect.

Say you get knocked farr to the top right in final destination, you would jumpm use a falcon kick, then jump again since you gained an extra jump. thats the trick here.
