You guys can all disagree, just don't get sad when your bthrow gimp doesn't work and you lose the match.
I personally hate guessing in any game; it leads to variance. Sure sometimes it'll work out really well, but sometimes it won't work out at all. I'd rather go for high guaranteed damage that also has a chance of killing if I do it right.
@ "major weakness" : Falco has one of the best recoveries in the game. Major weakness my ***.
Niko, I agree with the idea of covering other options that can lead to damage if they recover while still covering other options. That said, the options you can cover by doing so are a lot weaker; marth and sheik don't suffer from that as much because their edgeguarding overall is better/covers more options. They can do a better job of applying the argument you suggested; I agree with the idea, but I think fox clearly does it worse.
On another note, nobody really presented a good argument against what I said. My argument entails lowering variance so that you don't lose to someone worse than you. That's why people go for gimps when they're behind; it's a lot easier and often more effective to just go for the quick way to tie things up because otherwise you'd have to be consistently outplaying them to make a comeback. *gasp* consistently outplaying them? Why do that when can just guess and hope.
@SW; I hope you enjoyed my inability to do basic things like l-cancel and upsmash with fox, because I'm sure lovage did.
