anyways.... this thread has helped me quite a bit. i mained falco in melee and when brawl came out i started maining DK. now i finally decided to go back to the ace pilot and eat some of those "pizza cakes" he talks about so much lol.

Yup Contradict much.

Here something else to look at as well,

Falco's Idle Animation Glitch

Im sure other people have noticed this but heres a video with me in training mode showing it off. Since you need to have the camera relatively close to Falco's model in order to see the animation distortion.

Watch his hand and you'll see 2 or 3 polygon faces 'pop' up during his idling animation. This is a common, but fixable problem when it comes to animating really, and it does happen usually during the animating process. Those few polygons just weren't 'assigned' to move with the animation skeleton built for the model, when it goes into idle mode. It doesnt do nor mean anything bad, its just a visual type of distortion. Also note that this only happends on Falco's RIGHT HAND. His left hand is totally fine. Yet you can only see the distortion on the right hand when its up close, and when Falco is facing screen right.

Probably a Boost Usmash.

BUt the seccond laser of SHDL (if you do it right) should be silent, so it still works and (possibly) has a better chance of catching your opponent off gaurd.

My SHDLs are too spamalicious for me to time them to have a consistently silent second laser. My SHLs are always silent though so I stick with that.

I think you mean your turnaround SHLs.

You're on the Falco boards, of course it is.

What's that thing Falco can do with the Green Shell called?
I'm sure it has a name.
Where you fast fall and throw the shell downwards. Jump on it and pick it up again in the air (you stay in the air indefinately if you do it right).

Shell Hopping/Shell Stalling.

(It doesn't really have a name, so that's what I'm going to call it.)

then if they get too close side b!

then repeat the process!!!

don't worry though, it's doesnt take too much thought!!

Oooh, I should read up on this while I got the chance, that way I'm good for the tournament this weekend :x

Check out my post in Fluke's topic:

I'm curious to see if anyone can get any use out of it.

I've discovered a sort of "stall" laser game using the method above. Basically you can keep Full jump shining in place or use your momentum to move around the stage. You laser/silent laser before you hit the ground and can even change your direction mid-flight. Your opponent would pretty much be forced to approach. It creates a nice "wall" effect also, the shine covers opponents trying to approach in the air, and the laser keeps grounded foes pressured.

Wish I had a video of this.

Mind putting the Luigi's Mansion laser lock trick in here, probably under "Tips"? I think what Sethlon came up with could really help us out there when we get CP'd.

We know, Ulevo deleted all of his threads, but Blad isn't around to edit it out.

 

[Blad01]

Updated. (The thread is updated from time to time, but people apparently don't see it )

 

[Zario777]

I found out a cool technique with the Falco Phantasm (not sure if any1 found this out b4 me so this is the disclaimer). You know when you use his side+B and it doesn't get much DI afterwards? You know how when you cancel it, you get more DI, but less distance? Well, (not sure when the exact timing is) if you press Side+B and tap B (the way I do it), then you might get lucky and do a full Side+B, and get the DI of the canceled Side+B(if done correctly). I don't have a video for proof, but you can try it out on your own.

We know this already. It's the third and longest canceled Phantasm.

 

[Zario777]

Oh. Alright then.

Bump (little edit). PM me if you want something to be added.
