dj aerial: if someone tries to stop you from simply jumping to stage or ledge, you sometimes have to double jump aerial to keep them honest. Stops them from simply jumping out and hitting you

!djhorizontal

A favored tactic of wizzrobe, if you jump straight up from this distance or closer and drift in, you can horizontally sweetspot the ledge and dodge basically any attack not done on a read. It's a strong default option to mix in with your many others as this will dodge almost everything people do to cover your recovery without commitment and can even mix in fast falls to make it a mix up in and of itself.

!doublepoof

If Sheik double poof recoveries, just roll up onstage

if they go straight up at ledge, you have time to uair them or even knee them

if they go onstage straight down, you have time to SH backwards bair them or grab them

if they go to platforms, you can FH stomp, don't SH, nipple spike can be double stick DI'd

and then if they go straight into stage, you can stomp them

if they go just onstage and straight up, they can sometimes autocancel upon landing, so hit them out with a dash SH uair

!falcolordstomp

If you CC a laser, you have time to lord stomp either a follow up low laser or aerial and not just grab. CCing is necessary because CC reduces laser stun from 12 to 7 frames. You do not need to dash back out of crouch, simply release the stick to neutral during laser stun and then dash back normally. CC dash back sh instant bair is a safer, lower reward option worth exploring especially in case they decide to approach with a following high laser but you are not comfortable calling it out

https://gfycat.com/AntiqueScrawnyHarvestmen

https://gfycat.com/ThatEllipticalAmericancreamdraft

!falcomixupwip

if they might approach and you can cc:

cc laser into lord stomp, beats approaching low laser or aerial, gets hit but not true comboed out of vs high laser, can also cc dash back instant bair to cover that as well but it has a lower potential reward if correctly guessing in exchange for covering more options

if you can't cc:

shield stop uair/nair is good if you expect laser into approaching laser. catches approaching laser and trades with aerial (not a bad trade usually). Must have a little bit of space to get a trade on aerial however unless you have a read on laser If you're unsure and you're too close, can always do laser dash back. Do nair as a read on laser at low % in order to nair grab the airborne falco

take laser dash back gives a free grab vs laser at any spacing further than the one shown in !falcolaserdb

Escaping fox uthrow punish flowchart

0-13% (NTSC), 0-20% (PAL): Wiggle out, ASDI down tech in place grab. You land and ASDI down tech in place the usmash (it comes out before you can shield). If they go for nair you can ASDI down pseudo CC that too! Stops working after these %s as fox can usmash before you land and usmash breaks the tech in place ASDI down. If they go for a regrab then you'll either have to tech or DJ away (which usmash catches), but no fox does that at this low a %.

20-36%: DJ airdodge, avoids usmash while gets caught by nair. However, nair won't knock down until 37% pre throw, so it's fine. If they punish the airdodge after a late nair then you'd have to mixup with wiggle out land or DJ which would lose to usmash, making it a 50/50.

37%+: Uthrow nair combos and knocks down, DI for an edgecancel or to minimize the punish

Amsah teching/slide offs:

Basically utilizing falcon's weight combined with the asdi down mechanic to allow for insane survivability. This concept is two fold, one is teching in place or missing the tech to allow for you to "slide off" vs common moves like Fox bair and both avoid being comboed whilst avoid dying. However, at high %s this is way too risky as you'll simply go too far off stage. This is where Amsah teching comes into play. My attempt at a gfycat is here to show what amsah teching looks like.

https://gfycat.com/ConsciousImpressiveFugu

!icsgrab

If you grab shielding Ice Climbers, Nana will go through a shield dropping animation before being able to act again, e.g shield.

This means that if you can put out something quick enough, you can hit the shield dropping animation.

Foxes often do this with fthrow, falcon can do it with uthrow.

If you immediately uthrow Popo, it'll hit Nana before she's able to shield. You can then abuse her AI and get a kill on her from it, like this:

https://youtu.be/-sq_Xd2fc14

If you grab Nana though, then you're kinda ****ed.

(WIP!)

Falcon vs Marth optimal flowchart (no platforms, assumed FD):

Lower port

0-7%: Dthrow regrab on DI down and away, Regrab on no DI and instant DJ nair on DI in

7-20%: Dthrow uair on DI down and away (no combo from it though, if they DI/SDI correctly), regrab no DI and instant DJ nair DI in. Use nair techchase if you want to make it difficult for the Marth, since you get no true combo if not.

-Or go for uthrow uair to start a juggle, might be worth

(12%+: dthrow knee works on DI in, reactible at later %s)

21-26%: Dthrow uair on DI down and away, combo to grab on DI away on the uair and nairs/uairs if they DI in. Regrab or dash SH uair no DI on the dthrow and either SH knee or instant DJ nair DI in on the dthrow.

-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7zikFVo8Eg if they SDI and DI up and in on the uair, you can't combo to grab, so you do another uair (which they can't avoid) and combo to uair, grab or a techchase.

27%+: Dthrow uair on DI down and away, it'll force them into tumble and so if they DI down and away on the uair, you go to where they land and techchase them. Otherwise, react to their DI and combo accordingly with uairs and nairs.

-On no DI from dthrow you can dash SH uair and combo. On DI in you SH knee or instant DJ nair.

-From 23% you can dthrow knee Marth on no DI (and DI in ofc)

Uthrow knee does not combo on DI away.

Dthrow knee does not combo at any relevant %s

to see what having the higher port gives you, type !marththrow2

!marththrow2

Higher port (4)

0-19%: Dthrow regrab on DI down and away, Regrab on no DI and instant DJ nair on DI in

(2%+: dthrow knee works on DI in, reactible at later %s)

20%: Dthrow uair on DI down and away, no combo. regrab no DI, instant DJ nair DI in. Nair techchase if they can't get around it.

21-26%: Dthrow uair on DI down and away, combo to grab on DI away on the uair and nairs/uairs if they DI in. Regrab or dash SH uair no DI on the dthrow and either SH knee or instant DJ nair DI in on the dthrow.

-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7zikFVo8Eg if they SDI and DI up and in on the uair, you can't combo to grab, so you do another uair (which they can't avoid) and combo to uair, grab or a techchase.

-From 12% you can dthrow knee Marth on no DI (and DI in ofc)

78-86%: uthrow knee

!marththrowold

0-31% D-throw. Off of dthrow you can regrab any DI away (including down and away as proven in my thread here for those curious) at 0% and previously I have reacted to DI in with sh nair. However, this is relatively hard. An easier way may be to simply nair off of dthrow and if it fails to connect you still have a more or less guaranteed (due to marths being lazy), fairly easy tech chase set up. This is very common atm.

12%- On di in you can now knee from 12%-infinity. Very useful

31-65~% Uthrow uair. Nothing much else to say. Follow di in with more aerials or a regrab into another uthrow uair. Pretty easy stuff

65-90~% Uthrow knee. Pretty free if you just believe in it honestly. Sometimes I'll go for an uair knee if I know knee won't kill but honestly just take the knee. Your edge guards against Marth are relatively free as far as Falcon edge guards go. You can dthrow knee if you think they will di in, dthrow is easier but less guaranteed often times.

~95%+ D throw knee. I go for dthrow knee here because DI away seems to make me settle for uair when I uthrow. Haven't tested this much since I'm not usually worried about any Marth I play living this long usually but it is something I should work on. Can also uthrow uair either is fine

Slight DI behind on uthrow, 50/50 mixup between jump which beats grab and loses to utilt.... and DI down and away (no jump) which beats utilt but loses to grab.

then from like 39-45%, do no DI on the uthrow

since turn utilt will set up combos then

after 45%, they can SH back uair the no DI on uthrow without having to do bull**** pivot grab, so they get a good combo (dash SH fair on Dis, SH uair on no DI) regardless

so you can get out of their stuff pre 45% basically

after that, pray for good combo DI rofl

!question

"Its important to do individual research and ask more specific questions

So that way you can ask better questions for better answers

Questions like "when do I nair" is the kind of question that gets you answers like "when you want to hit people"

But if you were to ask, say, "is my nair better used versus marth as an anti-air or stuffing tool?"

You'd get more helpful answers and generate more helpful discussion

Right?

When I was GM for a few seasons in SC2

I got really tired of people asking questions like

"When do I build drones"

or

"Why do I keep losing to terran bio"

bc it made me feel like a **** for answering the only way I can

Which was to say **** like

"drone when you want money"

or

"idk have more stuff than him"

But when people would ask me really specific questions I could help them more and it made me look like less of a dunce."

If Sheik double poof recoveries, just roll up onstage

if they go straight up at ledge, you have time to uair them or even knee them

if they go onstage straight down, you have time to SH backwards bair them or grab them

if they go to platforms, you can FH stomp, don't SH, nipple spike can be double stick DI'd

and then if they go straight into stage, you can stomp them

if they go just onstage and straight up, they can sometimes autocancel upon landing, so hit them out with a dash SH uair

!sheikthrowold

0-37% Dthrow regrab/tech chase. DI in you regrab DI away you tech chase. One trick I use is buffer the dthrow no pummel the first dthrow to catch them DIing in for a free regrab on players not super aware of what to do v Falcon. This'll get me about halfway through the 0-37% range which is the part that Sheik is so hard to hit hard due to limited grab follow ups and CC. Also, she's much harder to tech chase than say Marth so generally one just goes for a side b or a read on her tech options but some try and regrab. This is considered to be inconsistent at the current time.

*24-37 Uthrow nair on no-> slight DI. Why do this when it's not guaranteed afaik? Because you can make Sheik explode if you landed something like grab at 24 uthrow nair uair regrab uthrow uair etc. I don't know my opinion on this but it's something worth knowing if you're a crazy man who doesn't wanna mess around with trying to cg/tech chase Sheik.

37-65% Uthrow uair. This is actually really hard. It is only a true combo on all DIs if you perform it relatively frame tight so acting out of uthrow frame perfectly is a massively important skill in this mu. Learn to be pretty close to perfect so you never drop it in tournament!

65-85% Uthrow knee is not a true combo on any DI I tested. HOWEVER, it beats or trades with any option I found Sheik to be able to do (catches DJ, beats/trades with frame perfect nair in every test I did on neutral di-> full in). Away DI is your bane and generally going to result in you having to accept uair or try to bait out a reaction and punish it.

85%+ Uthrow knee on no-> in DI is a true combo and away DI results in you effectively accepting uair as far as I can tell.

!spacieutilt

Utilt on shield:

Not spaced in front of you:

Grab

Spaced in front of you:

Uair oos:

Guaranteed, difficult/risky on reaction if you’re slow or miss, not biggest reward, strong default option

Let go of shield/WD down/slightly away oos:

Makes follow up instant bair/utilt miss (your shield reaches in front of you), wd down/let go of shield is good vs most spaced utilts but can wd slightly away if unsure if successive bair/utilt would clip. Loses to a hard read on it but very rare for a spacie to do.

Up B oos:

Lazy, useful sometimes once it knocks down

Stomp/knee drift in punish:

Hard read on double utilt for the most part, risky but highest reward vs double utilt on shield

Behind you:

Up b oos:

Still lazy but still useful at higher %s but when your execution is bad. Do not recommend but it is fun sometimes

Bair oos:

beats everything but shield (assuming you’re too far for shine to hit which is basically always), safe on shield since you can just drift away and auto cancel

Stomp oos:

Medium difficulty (easier when they’re behind you) but relatively greedy. Hard read on double utilt, loses to instant aerial/shield etc

WD oos:

Another really good default option, alter how far you wd so you just barely get out of range of a follow up bair/utilt. Can asdi during the wavedash so you aren’t risking much at all except on a hard read.

Falcon throw combos on Yoshi

Port 4

0-30%: You get no true combo or punish from this % on good DI.

If they DI dthrow away then they can DJ and airdodge out to avoid all of your punishes including an

attempted regrab. On bad DI you can dthrow regrab or dthrow techchase.

If they DI correctly, read their escape option or uthrow and bait their escape option.

31-36%: Uthrow dash FH uair on DI away.

Uthrow SH uair on DI in or no DI.

37-74%: Uthrow dash SH uair on DI away. (doesn't work at early 40s, FH uair then)

Uthrow FH or SH uair on no DI and DI in depending on %.

75-120%: Uthrow dash FH uair on DI away.

Uthrow FH uair on no DI and DI in

121-135%: Uthrow dash FH DJ uair on DI away, it doesn't true combo but breaks their DJ armor if they DJ and then

you can pseudo combo or FF and use your advantageous situation

https://youtu.be/dcy7YV-slc4

OPTIONAL:

(roughly)

80-105%: Uthrow dash FH knee on DI away, it catches regular DJ out and you can combo to uair from it while it doesn't catch DJ away out,

so you can react to that and then punish the yoshi trying to come down.
