Falco's Uair

[DEHF]

not sure if you guys know this or not but I'm saying it anywayz

when using falco's uair if anyone air dodges it you can do a second aerial and it will be a guaranteed hit.

Cool.

I'm not a fan of attacking from an angle directly under though. I play too many Lucarios.

Ha ha .. same here..
And cool I didn't know that (Not that I play as Falco anyways..)

So what happens if you keep on spamming it? Will it hit the opponent all the times you try it? Sorry but I don't use Falco as much.....

 

[Hyo]

Good to know with people like ROB, or other characters with poor options of attacking directly under.

Got a vid of this?

 

[ftl]

Ooh, cool! So it is guaranteed.

I've been doing it before - Uair to bait an airdodge, and then bair to hit - but I was never sure whether it was actually a good idea or whether I was just playing sucky people. But nice to hear it from a pro

up air is a great kill move on marth and rob

@DEHF: Are you talking about that effect that when the Uair is timed right, even if it misses (because they airdodged) it slows Falco's momentum that he starts to fall at a rate almost equal to the target long enough that you can get another aerial to hit (like another uair) after the invinibility frames are done?

He's just saying if you throw out an aerial it'll bait them to air dodge, you and your opponent both will be falling btw. After you use an Uair you can do another one immediately afterwards(air dodges don't last long), if you don't want to do another Uair you can use Bair if you want.

 

[DEHF]

another possibility try uair your opponent when they're off the stage into an air dodge then use your second jumb and dair

 

[zamz]

It's a very nice option to keep in mind, but I'll point out that baiting your opponent with Uair is a well-known Falco tactic =)

 

[AvoiD]

Sounds sexy.

Someone should get a vid of them performing it in a real match.

Good **** DEHF.

 

[Denzi]

Nice stuff. You can't mean any aerial though right? Another Uair doesn't seem like it'd hit.

 

[DEHF]

I actually does work

 

[Blad01]

ôO Isn't this know ?

By the way, it's not guaranteed on everyone. :s But it will work most of the time...
I don't do Uair x2, I don't know if that could work (FFing the second one), but usually Uair + Bair / Dair. Which isn't really great...

 

[Marcbri]

I knowed it for a long time, but good job posting it since many people didn't seem to know it. I usually do a bair if the uair misses, dair if I don't want to stall bair cause they can't be killed yet

 

[GimR]

intersting...Il'l add it to my game

 

[Tommy_G]

up tilt into up air is amazing, if they dodge the up air, you can either back air or down air depending on di. if you back air, then its good you get damage. if you down air. you can spike them down into another up tilt, upsmash or down smash(falcos most damaging smash attack) unless they tech but 95% of the time, they dont. iap cancel into up air is better but its pretty technical to always cancel exactly where you want to.

LARRY BIRD!!!! "falco trumpet sounds"

 

[J4pu]

creepy on the Falco boards???
is the world coming to an end?

 

[BleachigoZX]

I thought everyone knew this trap already?

Also at low % Uair ->Fair.

But who uses Fair anyway.....

 

[§witch]

I hate when someone posts something interesting to think about and try and there're always the people who go, "I always do this, have been forever", or "I thought everyone already knew this."

It doesn't make you look better, quite the opposite in fact.

I like the idea of this, I'll work it into my game.

 

[wangston]

I forgot how fast uair was. I now I will usually jump up and uair out of range so the dodge and then get them with the bair. It's nice to be refreshed of these kind of things.

I also like to sh and uair because it looks cool when falco does a flip also there is no lag because the move is finished before you hit the ground. I like to sh uair utilt everyone thinks there is lag after the uair.

Not trying to sound cool, just though everyone knew this trap already. You win by frame advantage right?

I'm not that big of a uncool person, I think a tiny bit.

all WESTCOAST falcos learn the pivot walk chain grab!!!! im out

 

[tlinkmaster1231]
