hey guys, as we all know falcon's recovery is just balls and the one thing that can really help us out is sweet spotting.

But melee is not brawl and its really ****ing hard to sweet spot his upB

any suggestions or tips you guys use to sweet spot consistently rather than like, 1 out of 5 times? I'm tired of getting ***** by dtilt/dsmash

Falcon can't sweetspot, my falcon recovery is freaking awesome. You just have to throw in proper air dodges or reverse up+b's properly. Or sometimes just take a kick in the balls and tech up+b.

I've seen Kage do some nutty recoverys with ganon with smash DI while getting ***** with all these attacks ganon shouldn't have to face lol.

has anyone noticed how lv 9 cpus can upb from a freaking huge range? i believe its when you rapidly press B for ex) ice climbers side b allows you to go higher the fast you mash it. i think the upb lets you grab them from a bigger range if you mash B like mad

^^^^^can somebody confirm the above?

how do you exactly reverse up + b anyway? i've done it before but i'm never sure exactly how i do it..

is it just sweet spotting but you are facing the other direction? so basically if you sweetspot it doesnt matter what direction you are facing?

also, if i learn to do the reverse up b consistently, will capes turning me around be useless?
