I find it easy to land a sweetspotted knee by downslaminng at the end of the stage then coming off with a stubbed knee, the jumping with another knee. I did this plenty of times during real matches and it always worked
I feel like its harder too pull off a well placed dair than a sweetspotted kneww :laugh:

It's kinda hard to tell what you mean, you're using words that I don't think are canon :)
Do you mean a ledgehopped knee? If so, if you're landing this consistently against the people you play, your opponents aren't very good at edgeguarding.

EDIT: If you main falcon, you owe it to yourself and everyone to post in the friend finder. :)

I think he meant running off stage, fast falling a weak knee then double jumping with a sweetspot knee.

It's nice but most of the time is safer to use uair instead the second knee.

I find the knee works well for off-stage edgeguarding as well. I typically start out with a knee (usually weak) to set them up for an easier followup, where I can double jump into a Dair, Uair, or another Knee depending on their resulting postion. I generally prefer this strategy as long as they aren't recovering from far above.

I tried to explain how to land the knee in another thread, specifically the SHFF knee, but people thought it was impossible...............

if only they listened

75% percent of my knees come from when chacters like marth recover and there lag frames enable themm to move :pikachu:

There is a killer way to land a SH FF knee that's the sexiest thing I've been able to do with falcon so far. I ain't saying itl work everytime, but ****, this move looks like sex.

[At this point, I'm not sure if it's a personal preference or not, which is why I'm not really explaining it. It might look just like another SH FF knee to others, I wanna get a few more opinions on how this looks before I say anything.]

Why is it hard to combo with the knee?

Mini hop, Knee with auto-canceling.

Thats a full knee with no lag!
A full knee that will sweetspot about 5% of the time, less if you spam. The mini hop is called a short hop.

What you described wasn't a combo. Combos are dead.

The sweet spot is'nt chance based, It just depends on timing and where you hit them.

And what i discribed was'nt meant to be a combo but a way to pull off a combo.

I know it isn't chance based lol. I meant what you described as a "full knee" won't connect even remotely consistently.

Combos are dead. An ACed knee will not lead into any combos. (As for the "yes" combo, I am still waiting for a demonstration that proves it isn't extremely situational - in fact, I've never even seen it connect at all)

EDIT:

Try it yourself - best way to figure it out.
