Smash Hero
Right now, we see the boards for Falcon making many new discoveries and imrpoving his metagame by a large amount, making it so Falcon has many true and pseudo combos to completely screw with opponents.
However, as great as all this work is, it still doesn't address some of the true issues with Falcon right now. Unlike Melee, many of Falcon's combos aren't setup by good approaches, and so they are very hard to setup. Much of his game works on a jab grab or Falcon Kick approach, both of which as Falcon aren't very effective.
SHADing works fairly well as Falcon, unfortunately, it also leaves you vulnerable to the grab, which is something that is fairly common for Falcon. He can grabbed to easily and his approaches on most characters are fairly poor atm.
However, someone with Falcon's speed, despite his poor hitboxes, should be able to use that speed to create better approaches. I am calling on users like Face, Wogrim, and ToKnee to work more so on finding a solid approach for Falcon. And it also comes with a great way to both test and learn new approaches.
Many new techniques and very useful information in Melee were discovered by a debugger, which has recently been found in Brawl. It is called the pause debugger, and it allows you truly to test new combinations at frame perfect results, which can then be used at normal speed.
Here is the code:
If we find a solid consistent approach for Falcon that is much less punishable by characters like Marth and Metaknight or even characters like Bowser, there is no doubt in my mind Captain Falcon will pass Ganondorf on the tier list. So far, from what I have seen, Falcon has better tournament results than 6 other characters if you look solely at wins, where the true results matter. This means that despite bad matchups with some other characters, Falcon with almost no good approach at the moment can do better than 6 other characters on the roster. This is because of his ability to punish people once he gets a hit. Now think of his ability if he can consistently get a hit.
You must have hacked your Wii to do this, if you would like to use the debugger mode and want to hack your Wii, search here or post me a visitor message.
