The dair is like Falco's ultimate disrespect move in Smash 4.
It's the most satisfying move to land off stage as a Falco main in my opinion even at low percent. Almost on the level of the Capt's Knee.
Ahhhh yes, I know the feeling, though I would also add Mario ' s meteor Fair. Meteor smashes are by far the most stylish, insulting and bada$$ shows of grandeur in the game IMO, so I seem to gravitate towards characters that have them in their repertoire. Sweet spot KO spiking vertically or horizontally is flashy for sure, but instantly SLAMMING a player downward with merciless authority (ESPECIALLY when it ends the match) asserts a lingering sense of total domination over the fallen player. It is that instilled hopelessness of defeat that I strive to inflict each match. Maybe I'm just a cruel person. ;)

at 1:50 and 2:00 I somehow managed to spam Jab1 and if anyone knows how to do this please hit me up :x
This is interesting cuz I often practice new combo variations against Ganondorf and have found similar disparities in his recoveries, though nothing this dramatic, that's for sure!

Remember the guys who did the Competitive Footsie Guide for Smash Wii U Prologue: Hurtboxes? I just found out that they have videos of Falco. This is the first one.

Here's the rest of as of now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-fZj88_6ZE.

Larry Lurr's a really methodical player. There's also other goodies like anti-edgeguarding tactics and a video on how to edgeguard Ike with Meta Knight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Fw96Fim3o4.

SSB4 - Falco (jaaziel) vs C.Falco (crimsonmoonking)
Here is a set i recorded with a friend one night, ill see if i can get more.

Anyways, the first round was really close almost made the comeback even thought i fell to my death at 39% like an idiot lol.

The second round i won, made anawesome read at the end interrupted his uptilt with a dash pivot sh into bair two stocked him in fact B)

The last round he won (lucky *******) i was really stupid challenging his side b, and also i think i could have recovered if i just had used firebird, but at the moment i just gave up the stock.

There where some really good moments and some really bad, full of up and downs. ill have to refine my playstyle but im getting there :D

I've been maining falco for a long time only on Smash 4 . I have a few matches of me playing falco on a youtube channel called 8wayrun , at a tournament called 8 on the break. But here is my recent highlight video that I'm pretty proud of


Here is one of my better matches from a tournament in Dunellen , NJ

at how low you were, fire bird wouldn't have saved you that last match unless you were fox. Thanks for sharing though! That bair kill the first match on the guys second stock was nice.

I'm gonna have to take your use of "bair on dash attacks and attacks that go through shield" strategy from you as well as your up throw bair tactics.

Go right ahead bro, yeah falcoa bair is amazing, you can spam it all you want to force shilding on you enemy and then go for a grab or cross his shield with it so you end up in his back, its also a really good bait since there is no landing lag upon landing.

A bunch of new Falco vids from competitive play:

Keitaro:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fE4owbeYiWU
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_QDqcK9lEg
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBbyc0s-1rw

Gimr:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNktB4ODRxg
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPc1H5u_ZyA

Guilty:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OeWtfq2HLCE



Personal opinions: I'm going to seem childish for this post but while Keitaro's falco is good, I'm not a fan of him using him falco then just switching to Diddy when ever he loses. I'm pretty attached to falco and seeing him used as a side project doesn't sit well with me. He only really uses falco when he is playing new players and doesn't seem like he wants to put in the work that the rest of us do. I get some players want/need to win money to survive, but still. I'd just rather keitaro not use him lol.

Gimr's falco I wasn't all that impressed with (not to discredit his falco), but I never finished the videos. I'd rather watch all of your falco videos compared to these two any day just because they aren't falco mains. We still need to prove that falco is good enough on his own and make people aware.

Huh, I think this video was missed; it never got posted here despite the other KiT 15 videos of Falco being posted.

There's also the whole this character is on the thumbnail, but it's someone else entirely. VGBootCamp has been dropping the ball lately and it's hilarious. I think they even have a video where there's a name for one player, but it's someone else. :laugh:

I love when they do that lol. Just saw a melee vid earlier today where they messed up 2v2 title, by basically saying it was a 3v1 (also called ganondorf "ganondorg" in a grand finals video). Its always fun to read the common section when typos or errors like that happen. VGbootcamp's comedy goes beyond just its commentary.

More Falco videos. This is another one of Keitaro's and he doesn't switch at all: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uh1lC64Qvoc. The match starts at around 5:10, though, because of technical difficulties.

This one is Larry Lurr's; he switches to Falco after using Fox: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Efr6zWbKOaw.

And this dude, Vex, switches from Falco to Luigi and then King DeDeDe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sho1JqDspNQ. One of the few players I've seen using Ftilt.

Edit: I have no idea if any of these were posted or not, but I suspect Larry's might have been.

Edit 2: Edit Harder: Yep, it was posted already.

so I've been snoopin around Izaws videos and this comment from MaskedCritic1932 caught my eye.
Izaw, have you gotten any use out of the jab-trap that Link now has with the c-stick attack control scheme? I'm sure you know about it, but to clarify: crouch and hit the c-stick at a 45 degree angle, and keep spamming only the first attack of the jab that way. Only works with c-stick set to attack instead of smash, though. When done right the only safe escape seems to be to DI and footstool out of it, from what I hear.

Anyway, useful tech? Or just a fun gimmick to mess with friends and newbies with?
is this what i did? I do recall crouching to do this.

HAHAHA!!! This montage... This montage... All right, so it does demonstrate Falco's meteor usages, but the song is just so cheesy and bad that it's funny!

Oh, and I don't know if this was posted or not, but it's Keitaro's Falco vs. Snowman Jones' Ness: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBtwmTn89Ko.

Edit: There's also this really basic video on Fox and Falco from way back: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPLZDggvJJ8. Is Gawain GimR?

And here's this: Cyro (Falco) vs Lithium (Captain Falcon).

Cyro again vs. Xadrin's Bowser: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlePKf8uKQM.

Ooo, Japanese Falco gameplay. I'm just linking this, so whether or not it's "bad", I don't know. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHqvF6j1dmY.

Warning: The qualities not that good. This was apparently uploaded 10 hours ago featuring Gintoki62 (Ike) vs. HISOKA (Falco): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vi45oXlF8C0.

There's also videos that I added by editing, though including a Japanese Falco player, but yeah, that montage is everything we need to know about Falco. I should stop updating the frame data thread and just post that video there. :laugh:

these videos are fantastic. The japanese players respected the neutral game heavily (more people need to understand this) and I love the persona music. Cyro is no slouch either and played great. All in all some great vids.


plus japanese falco sounds so sexy lol

Cyro Izarak and Lithium aka Loveandbacon is who they are. They're both really good players, as I played them when I was on chatzy, they're usually on that site.

Isn't that a good thing though? Different players have different styles, tricks, and insight they can give to other players. Keitaro and Ez8 uses lasers a lot, but others might not. Some use Fair more over Bair, some pull off RAR Bairs for approaches while others prefer Uair, some fight more on the ground and others try to get their opponents in the air. It's nice to see different play styles.

Man, I wish I could show some of my replays where I use Falco so I could get an assessment but... all these vids. I'd feel out of place using a potato again.

I asked and I found an answer.


Look at Little Mac before Falco grabs him. Little Mac's KO Punch windbox is enough that people can use it and run away from Little Mac.
Well that was a cool moment to capture, too bad it wasn't something easy to replicate.
