Falcons Dair

[(blondekid)]

I was told you can angle it. It seems to be true?

 

[Daedatheus]

Never heard of or seen this possible.
Whoever told you probably meant that if you hit someone with the edge of the DAIR hitbox, it will angle your opponent's descent. Useful for combos near the edge ending in a dair, when the edge is a bit out from underneath you. Hit them with the toe/heel to angle them a little.

In terms of angling it like many characters' tilts and smashes, no, that isn't possible as far as I know.

And did you really cave to the people who were saying your name was too long? pfff WEAK

 

[(blondekid)]

nah i didnt, i think some admin changed it. cause i know i didnt haha.

 

[MattNF]

your name is still too long

 

[(blondekid)]

how do u even change ur name?

This thread needs more Falcon Punch!
/Falcon Punch!

Also, Falcon's dair only has one angle: AWESOME!

What I love about Falcon's dair in 64 compared to the other smash games is that you can nail someone with Falcon's head during the dair and still spike them. Screw physics, it's Falcon.

 

[LegendOfZelda]

Physics obeys the Laws of Falcon.

 

[NixxxoN]

Yeah Falcon's dair has huge hitbox lol.
I still think its the second best spike in the game after Kirby.

Stupid Kirby is all broken and stuff...Falcon is just amazing.

If the game were true to Cap'n falcon, using falcon punch would result in you buying a new house, or paying a lot to your landlord for blowing up his appartment building. Either or.

While I love me my giant Falcon dair hitbox, I think that Ness' spike beats it out when combined with djc'ing.

 

[Dajayman]

Ness's spike sends them straight down at 270 degree angle, Captain Falcon's doesn't. So you can be above the stage near the edge with Falcon and still spike them to death. That's what was meant by angling Falcon's dair probably, not angling it like ftilts/fsmashes.

What i was trieing to say was when u hit ur oppenonet on a certain area of there body left or right will make them go a certain way. Unlike all the other spikes.

 

[Mikhas]

Man, Chuck Norris jokes are even funnier when you replace him with Captain Falcon!

That is true. If you Dair them on the right side of Falcon, they go a little bit to the right. If you Dair them on the left side of Falcon, they go a little bit to the left.

Whose utilts cancel falcon's dair? And if I use kirby against a falcon, is drilling the best way to go? I seem to have trouble catching combos on my friend because he either moves out of the way or just jumps. Advice?

 

[Blue Yoshi]

with kirby, just face away from him and up-tilt. It will beat many bad and average falcons, but you'll need more than that to beat a decent falcon. I'm pretty sure Kirby's up-tilt beats all of Falcon's aerials. Once you hit him with one up-tilt, just continue to use up-tilt until he goes too far for another up-tilt, then jump and use back-air to send him away.

 

[(blondekid)]

Point being Falcon has a dair technique that others do not.

I thought ness' is just as good.


Off- Topic:
Also, I watched some Isai vids of him using kirbs, he tends to use fair a lot, is this a good technique? Because it seems to have low priority.

 

[Blue Yoshi]

Falcon's Dair it's not really a technique. It's more like his Dair is slightly different from other Dairs.



If Kirby's Fair hits, you can follow it up with an up-tilt chain. Some Kirby players use short-hop Fairs to approach opponents, while others just turn around and up-tilt. It's best to mix them up to keep your opponent guessing.

 

[(blondekid)]

I was just saying it is kind of angling falcons legs, almost :D

ness.. nothing stops his utilts

 

[Fireblaster]

Link, Pikachu, Mario, Kirby, Ness, Jigglypuff, Luigi, Yoshi

it is more of a spacing move

also, if it was against floaties, it is very useful to combo with

like f-air (first hit) into throw combos

f-air into up air if close enough

f-air into f-air chain

I hate chuck norris, but a lot of those CN jokes do describe a little bit of falcon's daily regimine.

 

[NixxxoN]

chuck norris jokes are already old imo and not funny anymore

 

[MattNF]

chuck norris stopped being funny like a year ago.

 

[Dajayman]

That is true. If you Dair them on the right side of Falcon, they go a little bit to the right. If you Dair them on the left side of Falcon, they go a little bit to the left.

I'm pretty sure DK can also "angle" his spike like Captain Falcon.

 

[(blondekid)]

I dont think so dajay

 

[Sobchak]

I just went into training and falcon can make the opponent move slightly to the left or right, nothing severe, like in melee. You just have to barely hit them on either side. DK on the other hand i couldn't get to hit people at an angle. I tried to set it up, but they would always go straight down. You may need 2 people to do this, but from what I found, CF yes (slightly though), DK no.

Of course, that's what DK's fair is for. It angles the spike quite nicely.

 

[Dajayman]

I've been telling people for ages that Captain Falcon > Chuck Norris. Unlike Chuck Norris, Captain Falcon never gets old.

 

[NixxxoN]

Chuck norris and god are the same: everybody stupidly praises them but they never get anything back.

 

[Mic_128]

Chuck Norris and Captain Falcon are complaining to me about this thread. Either it stays on topic or I'll nuke it.

 

[xMosmo]

DK's Fair spikes at a decent angle if i remember correctly. that or absolutely straight down. heh.
