Your post is giving me cancer.I main Falco, and I haven't played him for a very long time, and I haven't been to any tournaments, but I feel like I have a terrible time with Link. Maybe that's just me.
What did I say???Your post is giving me cancer.
? Why would approach and how does get to lol?Hey Seagull I would say MK, Mewtwo, and Bowser are Falco's worst matchups. MK's strongest point imo is his gimping/offstage game. He is the best char at gimping Falco's subpar recovery. Mewtwo juggles spacies very well and his disjointed bair is good for gimping. Bowser's CC armor and super armor make it very difficult to approach him.
I have something else to add on to your comment about Mewtwo. If you utilize his hover, you can easily hit a bair/dair against Falco's predictable recovery. I don't agree with Bowser though. He is really easy to pillar, and his size makes him extremely easy to just dair spam. In addition, it's super easy to spike or dsmash bowser off the edge because of his terrible vertical recovery.Mewtwo juggles spacies very well and his disjointed bair is good for gimping. Bowser's CC armor and super armor make it very difficult to approach him.
He super armor crawls the lasers?Bowser can just crawl there and eat the lasers.
Marth or Yoshi lol maybe thats just meI am so tired of fighting this character. Who are his worst matchups?
I believe his crouch/crawl has light knockback armor, which is a less silly version of pure super armor, but yeah that's the idea.He super armor crawls the lasers?
Just wanted to add that if a G&W fills his bucket with 3 of falco's lasers that it will do anywhere from 10-25% depending on a few factors and probably won't kill until higher percents due to the lasers' relatively low strengthGW is another. its harder to say that GW beats falco, but i think its very possible that they go even. its hard in neutral for GW because his mobility isnt too great, but the quality of his punishes are just way too good to ignore. simply being in neutral opens you up to filling your down b which can either help prevent an approach or give you yet another insanely early killing option. comboing to kill is like easier for you than it is for falco, and its pretty much a no brainer to finish the stock with an edge guard if your combo didnt just kill him off the bat
I've never played a good Link, but from the one I have, quick shining projectiles puts pressure on them. Also you can combo link pretty hard to via pillaring. Respect the claw, and spotdodge to avoid it. Most importantly get in Link's face, he has a problem handling direct pressure. Staying at boomerang range sets you up for nasty combos, and if you ever are their, use Ftilt to clank it out. Lasers are hard to pelt Link with because of that darn shield, so an agro Falco is your best betAnyone have a hard time vs Link? It's extremely hard to get in Link's face because of all the projectiles he shoots out and he has a bunch of easy utilt chains on Falco, not to mention, it's really hard to get back on the ground if you get knocked up. It's not so much the shield grabs since they're trash but mostly the projectiles and all Link needs to reset the situation and start spamming projectiles again or get an easy 60% is land any hit on you, no matter how small.
GnW gets destroyed by Falco. Take it from the Best Gnw who seconds Falco. One of GnWs hardest Match upsGW is another. its harder to say that GW beats falco, but i think its very possible that they go even. its hard in neutral for GW because his mobility isnt too great, but the quality of his punishes are just way too good to ignore. simply being in neutral opens you up to filling your down b which can either help prevent an approach or give you yet another insanely early killing option. comboing to kill is like easier for you than it is for falco, and its pretty much a no brainer to finish the stock with an edge guard if your combo didnt just kill him off the bat.
