I don't know if this belongs more in the Captain Falcon character forum, but the character forums seem to be more about USING characters...but anyway...how do you beat Falcons?

No particular matchups or anything. Just, what are some general strategies, what are some of his weaknesses, and how do you take advantage of them? I honestly just can't beat him. Every time I end up either dying to one of his dumb "style" moves (followed, of course, by the mandatory "Showmeyamoooovz") or getting caught in his Fsmash while trying to land.

Even if I beat somebody five times in a row with no major problems, the moment they switch to Falcon is the moment my winning streak ends, every single time. If I can two-stock a player and only take 80% on one match, they can win the next match as Falcon. It's gotten to the point where if I can tell somebody is a Falcon main or even secondary, I just won't play with them.

I think my biggest problem is just how fast he is and how good his grab combos are. Sometimes he'll literally just run up, throw me, then run over and grab me as soon as I hit the ground and just juggle me back and forth a few times before I manage to break the chain.
