Wow you sound like a lost child. Okay, first of all, we don't give a flying **** what you do in this game, so stop posting about it.
Second, if you're going to play a character, YOU MIGHT WANT TO LOOK AT THE FAQs OR USE THE SEARCH BUTTON FOR QUESTIONS INSTEAD OF ASKING THEM IN THIS STUPID ARBITRARY THREAD.

Aurashade, do you know whom you're talking to? It's g-regulate, one of the best Falcons in Melee.

Seriously, his opinion on Falcon is one to be respected.

well, I'm not joking as much as that I don't know who he is. I was just purely trolling. I apologize if he really is as good as people make him out to be-I'm a link troll, this is kinda awkward for me.

I'm not so excited if he's not been playing brawl falcon the past few months.... this ain't exactly melee. Have you not been playing brawl at all or had you given up on falcon at the start of brawl?
Y34HDUD3!!!
Smash Lord
Oh YEHS. I hope you can find something with your Falcon skills, but with a game as shallow as Brawl is right now I don't know if there is anything to find beyond the character's moveset and attributes.
Good luck.
Good luck.

I must admit, when brawl came out i picked falcon again, my melee main, then just started to use him less and less, now i dont ever use him, but if G-Reg does his magic stuff, i might main him again.
Good luck to you, master.
Good luck to you, master.

That's a S*hitty way of looking at it from that persective. You should play whatever character you like the most, not what others play as. Get a backbone.
Doggalina
Smash Lord
Who are are you to tell me whom I should play?
In Melee, Falcons like g-reg, Darkrain, and Isai played with a flair that made me want to main him. That's one thing that's missing from Brawl Falcon. If g-reg can bring that back somehow (or at least make Falcon usable), many doubters who played Melee Falcon will definitely main him. However, I'm probably going to stick with him anyway.

This guy has the right idea. Melee pros stroking their egos.

3 years from now the metagames will probably be more developed and tiers might change a lot such as characters like cf might make top middle tier.
thats what i think

He's being sarcastic and basically saying that just because g-reg was good at Melee Falcon doesn't mean that he'll be good at Brawl Falcon.
Wogrim

Falcon is plenty good in Brawl, which you'd realize if you've been maining him for the past 3 months and stopped getting your ***** beat cuz you're trying to knee people; if he had the priority everyone wants he'd be a shoe-in for top tier. G-reg will most likely find a couple combos that aren't game-breaking, and will probably have a playstyle that you'll try to copy, but won't be anything new. It's been said many times before, and I'll say it again: THIS IS NOT MELEE FALCON so stop trying to play like melee. On a side note I respect G-reg's competitive smash experience, but that won't make him an instant pro in brawl.

yea theres little chance ill actually play falcon in tournament, but ive been playing him a ton over the past week.
we all know falcon is limited compared to most other characters, its likely that hes the worst character inherently, but that doesnt mean that you have to lose every match with him.
i believe you can win in brawl with anyone, just like it was in melee, you just have to create a style that can counter your opponent in the situation. for a while, chudatz was winning tournaments with pichu, he refined a style all his own and took advantage. theres lots of things in the games physics that you can abuse to put falcons moves to good use.
think of moves like overB and dthrow/uthrow. these moves no longer combo into knee or uair, like in melee. this tremendously limits his combo-ability, because your opponent can simply air dodge any kind of follow-up attack. well, if your opponent is airdodging all the time, youve got the advantage. wait for it and time a double jump uair chain to counter his defense. if he jumps away from you, beat him to his spot with another move. if your opponent constantly air dodges before landing, start charginging fsmash/dsmash and youll likely kill him every time. this forces your opponent to think twice about air dodging, and he'll have to change his strategy accordingly.
you just have to be smart and figure stuff out yourself. a strat wont just magically work all the time because some good player puts up a vid and says so, you have to MAKE it work and adjust accordingly.
i probably wont be testing out "new finds" and new technical breakthroughs, ill be trying to win with falcon against the best in my area. thats the trick of getting good at this game, find what works and stockpile everything you learn for future matches, until you find the right strategy for who you are playing.

and btw, im just as good at this game as anyone in the country, however i dont stick with solely good characters like most, i like to branch out and use others. no one likes a fighting game with only 3 characters.

Yehs! Uair is still a great followup move even though it doesnt combo. IMO Brawl Falcon is even more about baiting the opponent. Sadly, this would also mean that all the good stuff isn't guaranteed.
You can pull it off, but it wont be as easy as the bull**** that the top tiers can do.
You look a hundred times sexier though and you turn into a ***** magnet.

Welcome back, G-Reg. Can't wait to play you at one of the upcoming tourneys in some Falcon Dittoes.
Best of luck!

Lol, why the attacks on reaver and artie? What did they say? Who the hell are you to say they haven't been playing falcon. I'd go out on a limb and say both artie and reaver would whoop you.
Don't spam us with "THIS IS NOT MELEE FALCON so stop trying to play like melee". WE ****ING KNOW.If you believe this proves anything you have to say you're a complete moron.
And G-reg, hope to see some vids of your matches soon.
Wogrim
Smash Lord
Haha I saw your response and was like wtf, I said that to reaver and artie? (zkid's got a pretty good falcon; I don't recall seeing any vids with reaver but he made the guide) Anyways I strongly disagree with anyone who considers Falcon unplayable, and am disgusted by excessive idolatry of a player.
And yes everyone wants vids... no johns....
Edit: Yeah I'd like to play them but they're across the country (I don't like laggy matches) and I havn't faced a brawl falcon in 1v1 yet so yes I'd probably suck.
Edit2: Also I'm more interested in fighting non-Falcons so that I can get to writing a matchups guide, so if anyone in the Western US has a pretty good non-Falcon please PM me for the betterment of our forum =)

I doubt anyone's going to find anything groundbreaking...even g-reg.
As g-reg already said...it's all about play style with Falcon. He has so little advantages compared to the rest of the cast that it comes down to how you play Falcon.
Good luck finding anything new...hope it happens.
