So this is a true combo? I know on the Kirby boards we thought we had a nice footstool combo to jab lock, but it had a couple frames that allowed your opponent to escape.

I do it, it's too fun, flashy and effective to not do. And JJ=best falco stage.

Good stuff. I've been working on my Falco as a second for PT.

... nobody could ever pull this off against anybody good
all they have to do is roll in the like 4 second window after you jump off their head
it was a nice try for a combo but even the characters with shorter double jumps deemed these techniques unusable.
I'm sure everybody understood that 4 seconds was an exxageration but in case you didnt the window is actually a full second, ample time to roll...

Rofl, Falco as a secondary to PT.
If you can down throw to Dair, you can down throw to foot stool.

K, I dunno how many times this has been said, but you can't tech a footstool.

The footstool wasn't the part I was doubtful of being able to do, it's the Dair after the footstool hitting the character that is unlikely since they can... ROLL.

YOU DONT HAVE TO TECH TO ROLL YOU INCOMPETENT MORON
when you are lying on the ground you have 4 options: Stand up, get up attack, roll left, roll right
This technique requires them to do the 5th option... lay there like an idiot waiting for falco to come down.
even a well timed get up attack will give invincibility frames during falco's Dair.
I know very well you can't tech a footstool, stop misunderstanding what I'm saying.

Well, you're wrong lmao. The only way to get out of it would be to tech it, they can't move in time.

What he means to say, is that you are rendered unable to do anything after an aerial footstool. Even if you get footstooled into the ground, you have to just sit there and wait until the footstool lag ends. I can't say the combo works for sure since there could be other factors that confound the technique, but as far as the footstool portion goes, it's sound logic.

What a nice combo. I -have- to try this out when I get out of class. This'll piss someone off quick.

Somebody show me a vid of this being done on a Level 9 computer and then I'll believe you can do it. Falco jumps way too high for them to be stuck laying on the ground for the full amount of time it takes him to rise all the way up and FF back down, that's why this isn't seen very often, it's flashy and cool looking but in competitive play won't work unless you completely surprise them. The same problem came into occurence with (almost) all of the foot stool combos that were found within like a week of this one coming out, thus the end of hearing about them all.
If someone proves me wrong with this I guess I should quit Falco and move to MK where it doesn't require skill to be good.

Ummm, what makes you come to that conclusion? If the footstool combo does work, then 1) It doesn't do that much damage, 2) It can only be started within a certain percentage, and 3) If it didn't take skill, everyone would already be doing it.
You seem to be unnecessarily upset with this potential technique.

What i mean was that I would clearly suck if i wasn't able to do it yet it was a fool-proof strategy, and therefore i would need a character that didn't require as much skill to play as falco, thus MK, not insulting falco here, insulting myself.
And because the footstool combo leads into a laser lock it does do "that much damage."
It would replace the CG for characters that Falco can't CG but can laserlock, and possibly even some that he can CG but can't spike to their death.
I'm not mad with this tech, i think it is truly awesome and a great find, I am just very very sure it can be rolled out of without too much effort.

Has anyone even done this in a real match?
Does it even work?

No, they need to to be in the "fall" state.
And yeah, I've done it to a MK once.

because then they have time to roll away
footstools take forever to get up from though (watch any good variant of IC chaingrabs)
