compared to melee it's "worse" because it's not as effective as it was for combos.

however, you should just see falco in brawl as falco in brawl.
he won't be used at all like he was used in melee.
so it isn't really better or worse, it's just a different game.

i'm sure there's also damage variation from reflected projectiles in regards to his shine versus fox and wolf's.

My question is: Does it make the Falco Pillar impossible to do? Because I loved doing L-Cancelled D-Airs into Shines but now it seems like you won't be able to.

 

[Justaway]

no you can't kips

 

[scarecrowuknow]

thats sux... i love that combo that kips mentioned... i guess ill have to find another way to use falco...

yo guys have to remember... this is a totally different game, and falco is much different now, he is NOT the same, first of all, you can't L cancel, so that's out of the question, his dair is only a spike when you sweetspot the tip of his foot, and his shine, doesn't send them up anymore, alot of people are saying falco is good, but for more of a defensive character now. :\

L cancelling is in the game.. It auto cancels aerials for you.

I don't know what I like better, an identical clone as Falco was to Fox in melee (similar moveset, entirely different playstyle, comboability, different strengths and weaknesses), or a Luigified clone (Less than half of the same moveset and almost a totally different character)
I love pillaring and it seems to be that his shine was one of the moves they should have left unchanged because it had a different uses and a certain uniqueness. Isn't new always a good thing? Either way, I am looking forward to see the new uses and potential of his new "shine".

Dont even think about playing falco like melee. You'll get burned bad. You can SHDL spam but its not THAT great. You can space back airs all you want though =p

Listen to Jem

His Brawl Falco is ****. Even though I've never seen it, I still know it >=(.

That was always the same in the PAL version you know

Haha thanks Chip ^_^

 

[Aaryk]

The shine is weird in that by pressing down, you attack to the side..
it'll take some getting used to, but it should completely revamp some playing styles.
I give it a thumbs up.

It's nifty, but melee's was of course better for comboing purposes.
