Falcons Priority

[Prince Of Fire]

Does Capt falcon have generally good priority in the air? It seems like most of the time, my shffl knees beat out most attacks. Obviously marth, roy, shiek, falco etc are better but how does capt falcon rank? (Via the air....with shffls)

I am beginning to fall in love with multiple characters in this game. They are all ****ing fun to be. Also, I think that being the same character OVER and OVER takes away from your predictability because when you are a particualr character, you are OBVIOUSLY going to have a different strategy that much. I've been getting into falcon, ganondorf, luigi, and bowser lately. Bowser is better than most think...

bowser=garbage. but i am pretty good with him. actually very good. anyways. the same thing is happening to me with tthe characters. playing more and more of them. but when it come down to it, im still the best with falcon. i dont know about priority, but i do know that if you can dash dance away from someones SHFFL'd ariel then back by the time its over you dont need to worry about priority.

SHFFL'd knees are usually pulled off pretty quick and can out prioritize.

Most of C.F.'s air priority lies in the fact that he's the fastest running character, one of the fastest fastfalls and the best at sliding around the stage and platforms.

Falcon's priority is so garbage. You have to either out-space or out-speed all your opponent's attacks or you'll never land a hit. The only thing you should expect to out-prioritize with Falcon is projectiles using your Nair.

mhm more of a question about spacing and timing rather than trying to outprioritize. Like the knee, it's a great move and all but it's range isn't the best >.>

Falcon's priority is to apply a heavy amount of pressure using dash dancing and shuffled aerials and controlling space and ending every combo with knees.

I see what you did there >_>.

falcon does not have priority in the air so basically its his sheer epic-ness that allow us falcon players to land aerials at all

that must be the answer.
