Help with getting his spike off...

[Prince Of Fire]

Everytime i play a falcon I see them performing his d spike on me INCREDIBLY fast (or try to perform it) what do you guys recommend I do to help me get down the timing? It looks like the hardest spike in the game to pull off....that and marths.

I would say its the easiest actually but maybe thats because I'm so used to it but I cant really think of anyone who has an easier one. Marth's can be tricky but I never slip up and kill my self with it anymore, falcons is much easier to spam with shffls on the edge and is easy to recover after spiking someone off the edge with it. Ummm stomping a Fastfaller in place over and over again is a good way to practice the stomping, just keep bouncing that fox. =P

Practice. For one match with Falcon, use nothing but Dairs.

it depends. landing it while dashing is harder then doing it in place. make sure you use the c stick of course. thats definatly the easiest way. the hit lag isnt so bad so l-canceling shouldnt be too hard. i never had a problem with his dair. but practice it. practice makes perfect.
