I love falcon a lot, and I think he may be my best character. But some space animals namely rice and ragnarok are VERY difficult to beat with falcon, but my marth does exceptionally well.

I have a fox as well but it's only good against marth and sheik.


I just want to know do you think dropping fox for strictly falcon an marth for spacies is viable?

Am I alright and good to go against sheik and puff as well?

:falconmelee: is constantly playing against Spacies, so he's gonna need secondaries, Marth being a good one.

Hax was able to beat every Fox and Falco player except Mango and PP. You can beat anyone with Falcon as long as you're better than them.

Marth covers falcon's bad matchups quite nicely, so he's a pretty good option.

As Bones0 said, if you get good enough with falcon you can beat pretty much everyone outside of the top5. I wouldn't worry about a secondary until you get to the point where falcon is holding you back in specific matchups.

Obviously I'm gonna learn the spacie match up anyways, because
1.) I think falcon vs spacies is REALLY fun.

2.) I won't always have my way with when it comes to counter-picking. Eventually I will be forced to play against a spacie with my Falcon.

There's also the fact that you will run into a lot of spacies during tournaments, so by having a secondary character for spacies, you will be playing it a lot of the time.
