Stuff:

Finish the Chaingrab. Don't do the stuff you were doing, it's stupid. You're basically throwing away free damage.
Walking CG, don't use the running CG.
You kept Phantasming onstage/into attacks when it would have been just as easy to Phantasm to the ledge and avoid damage.
When Snake recovers right next to the ledge, you can grab him (don't grab attack or throw) and he won't be able to up B again.
Random double jump lasers when your opponent is on the ground: No.
Don't take unnecessary risks. (in reference to the random SD)

And you were right, there were some points where your Dash Attack could have just as easily been a Boost Smash/Gatling Combo.

That's pretty much it. Keep practicing, its nice to see people getting better with Falco =]

yeah, the random lasers didn't make much sense. I think it would be a little better if more of those hit their target. as stated before, a boost smash or gattling would be pretty useful instead of a running A, especially at that one moment where you used a running A with Snake at about 150%, and he lived. you also used the forward smash quite a bit, maybe a little bit excessively?

also, from my experience, snake is actually pretty easy to edgeguard. instead of waiting for him on the stage, go and get him, at least to the point where your own stock is not severely at risk

It's not that they have to hit Snake more often, they just have to be placed better. The lasers are used to deal damage/keep your opponent on edge/force them to approach, and you're not doing any of those when you randomly fullhop double laser.

Any Snake that knows what he's doing is very likely to make it back to the stage, it isn't so much that you're trying to kill him so much as you're going for extra damage. So while it's a good idea to follow him offstage, when he recovers right next to the ledge like he was doing in the vid, you might as well take advantage of it by grabbing him and forcing him to either damage himself or lose a stock.

So like only do the shdl if i really want him to approach and i know what im gonna do when he approaches
If he's more than half the stage away from you, SHDL, less than half, SHL, missed tech grounded laser, and right next to you/above you, do something else.

That's pretty much how it should go in terms of laser game.

humm..
well there is some need of improvement here
1. @ 1:07 u could ov u-smashed em instead of dashing
2. Needs moar dlx &+ glide smashing
3. As denzi stated, use walking cg to rack up moar damage
becuase u dont rly need to run becuase
1. teh snake wasn't at high damage
2. snake is heavy much. So walking cg's are good on him
at low %.
4. Practice your shdl's because your shooting
the second 1 too fast
5. Your wayy to free. Your falco has to be defensive
as well as aggressive, and you were being to
much of aggressive =/
Other than that great falco
1st one i seen who uses teh normal colour xD

a load of unreadable garbage
Seriously, how hard is it to type in complete sentences and spell things correctly? Your posts hurt my head :psycho:

And skaterbaj, the things he said are more or less true (if you can understand them), his reasons for some of them are just off.

Denzi covered most of what I wanted to say, thanks Denzi.


Just a thing...

Grab LESS! You can't spam the heck out of the grab with Falco, there are better things you can do with him than grabbing every time. There are points where you unnecessarily ran up and tried to grab. This is Brawl, you don't have to even approach (sadly) sometimes. Just be patient with what your doing, and don't grab as much. Also, your approach could be a little less obvious, though that advice is for another day.

Glad I could help where I could, IF I could.

I am at school on my phone, and it can't view YouTube, so I'll look/critique when I can.

Denzi seems to know what he's talking about. Listen to his tips.

That is incorrect. I think you'll find that Denzi DOES know 100% without a doubt, what he's talking about. There is no room for doubt with Denzi, he's just that **** awesome.

I think Denzi pretty much covered everything, which means there's nothing left to say for my 1000th post.

Oh well :(
LMAO.

A spectacular 1000th there mate.
