I made an Android app for Falcon (new trials posted) UPDATED: 8/18/16

[KCBunne]

I am open to suggestions on what to add to the app. Nearly all the info is from THIS guide. I am not a Falcon expert by any means, I just wanted something on my phone to quickly give me tips for certain matchups and other useful information. So far there's some nice info on these matchups: Tier list top 10, Luigi, Ganondorf, and Dokey Kong. There's also a Full Trials List that remembers the ones you complete. You can download the current version of the apk HERE. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

For those of you interested in the trials I added, here are all the trials currently in the app. I split everything into three sections: easy, medium, and hard. All combos were done on vanilla (stock melee) CPU DI and should be practiced with a consecutive hits counter.

Spoiler: EASY

Jigglypuff @ 90%. Down throw > Knee

Instant up air Marth

I just updated the app to add more information and make it look a bit cleaner. Info was added to all the previous matchups and there is now tips on fighting Falco, Ganon, and DK. Also, some character based stage striking information. Let me know if you actually download this, lol.

I cant download the app because I dont have a phone :1.. buut I think it'd be cool if you added the Falcon Trials, like a checklist or something like that:http://smashboards.com/threads/captain-falcon-trials-for-newer-and-expert-falcons.344677/

Good idea, I'll work on putting that in.

Ok, so it was a bit of work, but the app now features a complete trials section. Although many are from the original Falcon trials post, I created a few new ones myself. This required adding a lot of text, and I want to know if it looks decent on devices other than a Samsung Galaxy S5 (that's where you guys come in). I really think this app can help falcon players, and I want to know what someone who has their hands on the app thinks of it.

Will there be a quick reference for the Fox match up?

I'll add that soon. I avoid the MU myself but I know many Falcons just deal with it. Just curious, have you downloaded the app yourself?

Yes I have. I find it to be very helpful. I think the trials are a pretty cool motivation because if I'm not feeling too focused on practising, I can at least open the app up and give myself some goals. Plus, I struggle against Falco, and I need to start looking at these notes and making my own. I feel like my problem isn't really killing falco once he's above 60-70, its getting him to that percent I find challenging. My neutral vs him just isn't that great. I feel like the Fox matchup is much easier comparatively.

Glad to hear it's a useful tool for you. I'm also glad that no one has said the margins are all off on their phone with text/images spilling off their phone's screen. I've had issues with that in the past, but maybe the program I use just got better.

Updated the app to version 1.3. Fox is finally in the matchup section. I also somewhat reformatted the app and added various optimizations. Download link has been updated at the top.

Going into a character guide -> back -> a different character guide -> back -> a different character guide crashes the app.

Great work though, this is definitely useful.

I am aware of this bug. It seems to be an issue with the way the app loads a new screen. I am currently trying to figure out a solution. As of now, if the app crashes on you just close it, reopen the app, and try to reopen the character's page.

Havent used the app cuz my phones broken but had an idea. May be stupid since i am not familiar with the app, but maybe a note section? like on top of all the useful tips and stuff, you could make your own personalized notes for yourself of things that you notice as you practice. Honestly probably not that needed cuz they could use actual pen and paper or not app but just thought it might be convenient to have on the same app all in one place. But seriously as soon as i get a new phone downloading it, sounds super useful

I've thought about this and although it's certainly doable I feel like nearly everyone already had some sort of note taking app on their smart phone. In my case I'm perfectly content in taking my notes in a separate app. Although maybe I'm a minority and people really do want it as a part of this app. Thoughts?

I've just started to get back into SSBM having not touched it since I was much younger. I played around with all of the characters and decided I want to try and main Falcon. Just wanted to say how much I appreciate the app and how helpful it's been in trying to learn these combos. Personally I would not need a notepad in the app as I prefer to write everything down on paper.

Also wanted to say the scaling and margins in the app work great and everything looks good at 2560x1440 resolution.

I'm glad you find the app helpful. It's great to hear that people are still using the app.
