If there's anything to update I can take care of that.

random tips

against diddy: Jump Cancel toss is better than glide toss, glide toss way too long

if MK is gliding at you, shield their glide attack and upsmash OOS immediately, should hit them.

Ozz, you never used Falco on me dang it x.x

Anyway, I do not think OoS Usmash has enough range perfectly spaced Glide Attack. Besides, I have seen MK avoid this by aiming for the shield in the upper corner of the shield and fall back down away from the person.

Yeah, you shouldn't try beating Glide attack with Usmash unless you force them to come under a platform.

I played a lot with Ksizzle this past saturday.

@Diddy SHL, JCIT, ???

Very safe set-up that forces defensive options (and 1 offensive OoS Hump).

Run, press jump and Z. Is a little glide toss. Useful with TL, Fox or Snake.

With Snake, it's not that good. In fact, it's not useful

Jump-Cancelled Item Throw [1]<-- rating
How To Perform:
The JCIT is a shallow technique by nature when used by Snake. For him, it's definitely an improvement over his glide toss, but he still rarely benefits from its effects. However, to perform it, you simply dash in one direction, do a quarter circle upward from the direction you're dashing, and throw the grenade via c-stick before you can actually jump. This isn't even the bare bones of the tech (barebones: put in a jump command and hit the c-stick in any direction before you actually jump), it's just the most common application. I'll explain a couple of more in the next section.

Why Learn It?:
This technique has potential, but in less obvious facets than you would think. One of my favorite applications is nade throw out of shield. All you do is hold down shield, jump, and throw the grenade as soon as possible. It's obviously quicker than dropping your shield first. Its only other real use is as an improved glide toss, which I mentioned above.

Brinstar or Rainbow Cruise, basically any moving/transforming stage that forces them into the air and can save you from getting chaingrabbed, but tbh it is better to learn someone else for ICs, they are rly tough for Falco if the ICs player can CG. Although they are not Falco's worst MU so if you have enough experience in the MU it is winnable.

and btw, questions should go in the Q & A thread.

It would be nice if you were more specific and/or supplied a link to the thread with whatever you're talking about.

And we can't guarantee it'll be put in any time soon, because we lost our dedicated mod and therefore can't really edit the first post.

Why is this here if we can just add it to the Falco guide? Much more convenient and organized (and updated) than this.
