Is there a secret...?

Is there some sort of secret to using Falcon's ^B?

I swear every time I'm watching a video of pros or something like that, their ^B gets such HUGE horizontal recovery. Even when I try it at the same height/distance away I can't make it...

I just usually smash the direction I want to go after using it but... is there something else?

Do you just press Up-B, or do you DI after the Up-B to help your trajectory?

 

[elvenarrow3000]

Just hold in that direction. I'm not sure, but it seems like Falcon falls slower/has more horizontal DI after the Falcon Dive, so if you do it earlier, it'll probably work better.

As far as I know, there's no secret property.

No secret, Up-B and DI towards the stage. =)

U have just to hold up, although falcon's Up+B is good for horizontal recovery.

Make sure you are DIing purely horizontal. If you DI over and up you won't go as far.
