I'll keep updating as I make more. All videos have high quality option.

I'd appreciate it if you guys can give me some tips, tell me what I'm doing well and what I'm not doing well, etc.. You can leave the comments here or on the videos themselves.

There are some other vids without Falco on my channel, so feel free to comment on those if you want.

 

[Recognize]

Use your reflector more, its a great spacing move, or learn to SHL on the move.

 

[Kirin]

You play a very nice Falco, I actually enjoyed watching these matches. You do a good job of spacing and contrary to what Recognize said, I think you use the Reflector when it's needed. Yes you might have been able to use it for a little better spacing a couple of times, but really you seem to have a good understanding of when to use it.

Not much critique to give, you are very good with Falco. I would get a pro Falco player such as Sethlon to give you some criticism, I'm sure he could find something wrong.

 

[Yeniths]

You play a good Falco, all i would say is work on your lasers more, they often miss as they are mistimed, perhaps a bit more of the shine and simply AAA, its good to keep things mixed up. Apart from that, it seems good, just keep working on that and your teching skills and you'll do well ^^

on a side note, i see i have competition for Falcos red costume:D

 

[Kirin]

While Yenith speaks the truth about using his AAA combo occasionally to mix it up (I noticed you didn't use it much either), do not use it too much. It is easily punishable if your opponent just DI's away and attacks quickly. At least follow it up with a shine or something to lower the chance of getting punished.

Good Falco

That is a good Falco you have there. I would just say try and work on timing the lasers. It comes in handy fighting small characters and taller ones aswell. But one thing I do alot is abuse the shine, not to much though. I usually use it to try and trip to lead into a combo, and or space. Either way good falco.

No Frame Laser!

 

[Kirin]

I found out about the no frame laser randomly while practicing SHDL. It's a nice way to get out a quick SHDL or a lagless SHL.

 

[hurricane22491]

I used to use the AAA combo a lot more, as well as Nair into AAA or up-tilt. Not sure why, but I've kind of just drifted away from that. I'll try to incorporate that into my play some more.

I agree that I need more practice timing my lasers and keeping it steady in a match. I can shoot them low and silent fairly consistently in training mode but I can't pull it off consistently in a brawl. Maybe I just need more experience?

Thanks for posting everyone.

Battle Experience ALWAYS > Training.

I suggest if you really want to get better really quick, find someone who plays on a completely different level, like the pro smashers, and see if you can arrange a few games.

Well, yeah, I know. I probably should've phrased that sentence a little better. I just need to practice lasers more when playing people.

I would love to play with some pros but the problem is I don't know of anyone around my area who is really "pro". Online may work but more often than not there is a little lag which makes it difficult to laser well.

I noticed you live in Woodinville, Ratherion. I don't think that's too far from where I live, maybe we can play some online matches sometime. Lag shouldn't be too bad, hm?

 

[Ratherion]

Oh hay. Bremerton. No that's not that far. We can always try. I've got Comcast, so... you open tonight?

 

[hurricane22491]

unfortunately, I can't play smash tonight. Have to finish up some essays and other crap for tomorrow. Sometime this week though, I'll PM/AIM you or something.

 

[Ratherion]

Righto. Sounds good.

 

[zamz]

Want to throw in a Seattle Falco?

 

[Ratherion]

Works for me.

 

[hurricane22491]

Me also. I'll contact you guys sometime soon

Updated with some new videos.

 

[Ratherion]

Nice! Great Lasers, great job spacing his Mortar Slide, good anti-snake play.

 

[gab3]

so how does one usmash out of a dash attack?? is it like mortar sliding??

 

[Ratherion]

It is Mortar Sliding, it's just a LOT more obvious with characters like Sheik and Snake.
