Utilt combos into every move Falco has at the right percents on fastfallers, and is better for comboing floaties cuz it keeps them lower so you can backair them at useful percents.

Fsmash is good but not as an approach. Combo into your smashes.

utilt is good for hitting people who are jumping out of their shield. for example, when you approach a shielding opponent, do an aerial but fast fall a little late so you land behind them. when you land, immediately utilt, if they try to jump out of their shield and do an aerial, they will get hit by the utilt first. it's an alternative to pillaring if you don't feel like risking getting shield grabbed.

shine -> utilt -> fsmash (on a space animal). sometimes they will have really ****ty DI thinking you're gonna nair or something... who knows lol

U-tilt juggle to d-air to combo?
U-tilt to finisher?

F-smash isn't good at all except for edgeguarding certain characters.
lol wtf?

F-smash is great for punishing missed techs when you dair opponents onto platforms.

Not saying that both moves are bad... but like, don't just sit there fsmashing your heart out.. i mean i guess it's arite if you maybe lazer spam n then throw a fsmash, could KO someone? ;\ but don't abuse it of course.

but i guess the main thing bad about fsmash is the lag =\ much better to just throw a shffl'd nair at em :D, or a shffl'd dair if you want, and uhh.. utilt, yea it's pretty good, i sometimes use it after a dair, like for example shine,dair,utilt then maybe a bair? idk, be creative, and don't get predicted


oh, another thing... you can sorta use Utilt for an edgeguard, just timing i guess, i'm pretty sure bair is much better though

Wow, I'm not entirely sure what your post is saying, but I think you're asking about the utility of the utilt. I'm not very good or anything, but mostly I see the utilt used to combo fast fallers at low percentages or to punish people that don't tech a down throw. I don't normally see a falco use the down throw, this instance was bombsoldier, but it's a theoretically sound idea.

Hope this helps, and I hope that I'm not wrong :laugh:
