hmm you have a pretty good Falco. However I noticed that you used a lack of lasers, and your recovery is a tad predictable. Im going off of the first video atm and Ill watch the rest in a bit. You could do more combos with his basic jab more such as


Basic C- Reflector
Basic C- Phantasm
Basic C- Up tilt

etc.

and go from there.

I would also suggest you play more mindgames while recovering. Such as backflipping then phantasm as most of the time the enemy will be either charging a smash or trying to spike or w/e. Sometimes you may actually spike them instead xD

If you would like we can brawl. I also main Falco.

Hello Falco board btw :laugh:

I agree with Ichikazu but would also like to add that you work on a lot of the delay on some of your areal attacks =P, i saw a couple of times that you where just over your opponent but didnt start a areal attack until you where under him while falling (the down aerial).

Ummm learn how to short hop double laser the correct way
stop walking, seriously for the chaingrab to work you need to dash and d-throw again. If you walk you will miss against anybody good. Stop being predictable. When you approach from what I've seen, all you did was SH backwards. This made it plain as day that you were going for b-air, I'm surprised your friends did not punish you more. Instead mix it up and try learning RAR that way you can disguise the b-air sort of. Also Watch sethlon he has an incredible falco from what I've seen.

3xSwords, you could not have given better advice lol. I played some matches with my friends today, and they totally whooped my *** because of my predictability. I've been trying to get the SHDL down, but it seems to click on and off for me. Thanks for the advice.

You honestly use neutral a combo way too much, it was extremely predictable and often left you standing there spinning, waiting for punishment. I suggest that when you are going for the short hopped airs you are a bit more aggressive, you seem somewhat hesitant. I also recommend using more of your staple b moves, reflector shield is by no means just a reflector, and the layzor is awesome.
