So, I've been playing this Falco online recently and I've only been able to beat him a couple of (LUCKY!) times. It's really hard! I feel so helpless. He constantly SHL's (for some reason he doesn't SHDL), and, because he has no lag when he lands and I get stunned, he gets a free grab on me. After that, he chain grabs me to the edge for a spike.
Now usually I can jump out of it and footstool jump him (only because he screws up, of course), but when he actually pulls it off its devestating. I needed everything I had without getting spiked to ALMOST win a match, and him getting a free stock on me almost completely ruins any chance of me winning.
I have no idea what to do. Now, we only played on Final Destination and Smashville (both of which give him optimal space to laser me to death), but I don't think the outcome would be any different if I played him somewhere else. If I sheild his lasers, they eventually break through. If I side step them, then he runs up and grabs me. If I let them hit me, thats even worse. If I approach above the lasers, he just moves back (or under me) and proceeds to space me more with the lasers. Its not really camping, since he does so much more than just lasering, but he uses the lasers to supplement everything he does so I can't shield his attacks. I'm getting frustrated.
What can I do? How should I approach? How should I kill? Can DK F-tilt the lasers (I'm pretty sure he can't)? Assuming if DK could do that, then everything would be fine. But because he can't (right?), There's nothing stopping Falco from pinning DK down and hitting him with anything from a grab to an Up Smash because Falco has 0 lag when landing after firing a laser. It's ridiculous. How do you guys beat Falcos?
