Falcon Nair spamming

[FrankDaTank]

I've been playing against a Captain Falcon lately and his main approach option consists of abusing Falcon's nair. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find an answer to it aside from just dash dancing out of range of and trying to make it so he undershoots his approach.

What exactly is Marth supposed to do against this?

What character do you play?

Lol oh **** marth boards. Zone him out with your dd (almost as good as Falcons). Marths dash away actually avoids falcon nair really well. Work in pivot grabs and intelligent wavedashes to set up for grabs.

But back on subject, get good enough with your dd so that you can vary it and still remain in control. If you're really good at the dd you can change your position almost as fast as running, while keeping all your agility and options from dash. Once you're fully in control, it's all about watching falcon and reacting accordingly. If you anticipate an approaching nair, and don't have time to contest it, try perfect wavedashing back as soon as you think he'll nair. Marth has an excellent wd, along with the dd he has the ability to pick and choose his battles to an extent.

You can dashdance out of nair depending on space, but if you have to, meet it with rising fair or jab
rising fair > jab.

You can trade/beat all of Falcon's approaching SH aerials with the first hit of sideB. Utilt works, too, but is slightly harder to time (with slightly more reward).

If Falcon is doing more in-place Nairs, you have to respect it a little more. Fsmash, jab, Ftilt, cc-grab, bait something else out, and so forth. Also, if he's pressuring you into a corner with SH Nairs in place-ish, you can dash and WD under the Nair to regain stage control.
