Falco's Dsmash Discussion Thread

[crush]

how do yall feel about dsmash?
does it make falco like marth?

also feel free to talk about hookers here, because apparently you can't in the regular falco discussion thread.

I pay my hookers to act out Falco's dsmash. None of them have passed the test, unfortunately. I keep telling them their legs have to be invincible or else the hatchet will hurt them, but none of them seem to want to listen.

serious dsicussion please bones. the invincible crotch is great when edgeguarding other spacies up-Bs. also great for finishing combos to set up edgeguards, and edgeguarding vs falcon/ganon, and marth.

 

[Beat!]

Sometimes when I dsmash it doesn't hit my opponent. And then they combo me and I die. Really frustrating. =(

I don't really have any questions, I just wanted to share my sad story.

It does make Falco like Marth

There is so much **** on this forum but crush makes it less ****ty

Im comfused... what kinda of discussion is this exactly?

I feel like i seriously under-use Dsmash in my game, mainly because Fsmash is a thing. in what situations does Dsmash hold an advantage over Fsmash, besides in terms of edgegaurding? honestly the differences between the two is blurry to me. I feel like i swap between the two inappropriately during games, because i dont know when to use which one.... even the trajectory of the two confuse me because im not sure if its the move or the impossible DI of the cpus im testing this on right now thats causing this trajectory.

To me, I like using D-smash when I'm close to the end of the stage against an enemy who is about to recover and grab the ledge, I won't have enough time to perform a D-air so I go with a quick D-smash. I also like using D-smash when I'm above a platform and an enemy is below jumping to attack me, it's quite risky though. It's animation takes awhile to finish.

I don't know, I just feel like F-tilt downwards is much better if I need to keep the enemy off-stage while it helps me to set up a D-air or B-air. And if I happen to miss the attack it's animation isn't as long as a D-smash.

I haven't played smash again for awhile now. I need some practice. '~'

I've always thought that dsmash is 10x harder to di.

im about to make most serious tactics involving downsmash that most noobs cant react to yet cuz they lack years spent playing melee

obviously within downsmash hitbox range.

downsmash edgeguard against missed sweetspot spacy side b

downsmash against up b spacy recovery at most angles, sometimes untechable cuz legs go past stage.

crouch cancel downsmash near ledge against getup ledge atk or
ledge hop atks, excluding fox dair

downsmash against missed sweetspot marth up b

crouch cancel downsmash on platform against full hop movez

downsmash to cover most platform techs

downsmash to end combos n send them really low angle eg final d, dair eaveshine dair waveshine, nair dsmash, ez edgeguard

downsmash punish againsts shieks when u hold ledge n force em to upb onto stage

mayb charge dsmash when peach dmash u? i dono lol

problem with dsmash. good players will amsah tech it ez like me

desparate gimps to even stocks \/

u can even gimp by fthrow spacy off stage n if they jump/ shine stall jump to regrab ledge sometimes u can dsmash n hit em
few miliseconds before they ledge grab. but if u miss get rdy to get punished.

u can gimp by backthrow then fthrow of stage, dash atk their bad di, then dsmash ftw


dsmash has so many uses.. i cant name every situation but those cover most. just play the game for like 3 n half years like me n ull then see all situations of when where to use it. at times dmash is ur fastest tool, so learn how to focus n react super fast.
