Its been a month since I've come to this site and a month and a half since I'd play brawl. I just need to know if Falco's metagame has changed much or is it still the same as it used to?

Depends how specific you want to get. In general, it's the same stuff. Lasers, chaingrab, reflector games, blah blah blah, bread. We haven't discovered any game-breaking ATs, if that's what you mean.

Specific? Very different. New ledge games, ways to help his recovery, and quite a bit of stuff that's specific to who your opponent's character is. Most of it's not on the boards though, as far as I know. Falco boards need some organization. It's something I plan on working on when I get settled into my new place.

-this is sort of a pure defensive/evasive.

Then there is SK92.

-He is sort of an aggressive-defensive player (or you could say feint-y)


-I was looking for more youtube.com videos but these guys definitely were better than the randoms I found there. So maybe watch these guys videos you might learn some stuff or something.

Oman no new cool AT's. Yeah, its not really organized as ussual but im imterested in what you mentioned new ledge games can be fun and Im liking improved recovery is there any thread or link on these.

Not yet. Or I doubt it, anyway. And don't get too excited, it's all simple stuff like save your double-jump, shoot a laser and follow it with phantasm, cancel it at different lengths, etc.

Like I said, nothing game-breaking. We're just adding on bit by bit.

Thanks for clearing things up. I got a little to excited lol. I can see how canceling phantasm at certain lenghs can be useful agaisnt people who expect a full one.

Nothing new, really. Brawl's more mindgamey, so the people who're getting faster reaction times and better mindgames are still the ones soaring higher.

SK92, for example, has basically perfected the art of shutting down his opponents with feints and shooting them out of the sky with lasers. (I also swear that he hacked the game somehow to make Falco weigh as much as Snake. He never dies! What the hell, man! DI shouldn't work that way!)
