Yeah I remember haha.

Did you get a lot out of it?

If so, you should talk to me about it at the tournament(or on here, I don't care). I don't understand what I even do in teams or what I'm good with LOL.

Yeah, I've learned a lot about fox/falco team and certain formations.

You guys **** when the other two are between you (hehe). Basically, if the opponents are in the middle and fox and falco are on the edges, falco can shoot lasers which will probably hit one of the two opponents. This will either keep the one closest to falco at bay, or if he evades, hit the other guy. On the other hand, fox can freely approach, because fox's biggest weakness in blindly approaching is dashing back and pivot grabbing or something like that after fox commits. However, the opponent can't retreat or they run into your lasers or their teammate.

In general, you tanked stocks better than lozr, but I don't know if that is a playstyle thing or something falco is supposed to do. Both characters are good at killing, but there are some matches where lozr gets like all the kills. Basically, fox should be the aggressor, but falco should snipe kills when he can.

Another formation that works for you guys is when lozr is on a platform and you are on the ground lasering. This forces the opponents into shield or onto the platform, where fox has way more mobility and doesn't have to worry about getting his nair baited as much.

On the other hand, when you got on platforms and lozr stayed on the ground, it usually never worked. Falco spends so much time in the air that if you are jumping around or on platforms it usually gives the opponents a chance to squeeze fox.

Basically, falco has to cover fox, so fox can play really aggressively very safely. Falco should not commit too much, because he will either leave fox vulnerable or he will get hit and falco is really bad at getting out of strings and combos, especially in teams. Falco rarely commits, fox should be committing a lot because falco can either save him if he misses with lasers or cover the opponents counter-options with lasers.

So I'm going to have to play more aggressively with you than I usually do in teams, I guess.

My personal style is stock-tanking. I don't do well going FL Falco in teams lol.

I thought about most of that stuff already and I'm glad we came to the same conclusions. It will be interesting to see what we can do with it though.

Yeah, I think it will be really interesting. I've been playing a lot more offensively in singles recently, but I haven't really applied that to teams yet. I still play really defensively and opportunistic in teams unless I'm just messing around.

I'm sick right now, too. I don't think it's pollen, though, because I've never had allergies in my life. I was even covered in pollen doing yard work the other weekend and it didn't affect me. It would be really weird if I just suddenly developed allergies yesterday, lol.

But I'll probably be better by saturday.

legit advice: if you do cocaine at a rate of a gram a week for over a month, pollen will no longer bother your nasal cavities for the rest of your life
