IAP I'll agree is a great move to spam. The Usmash... not so much. Even if you boost smash, it leaves you pretty open.

For kills, I find empty short hops or SHL into Fsmash to be really effective when I can't get off a spike.
silent laser->boost smash is great. Fsmash is more punishable than Usmash. and bair is great too.

True, but then it's all about implementation.

I said for kills. Usmash works well for kills, but his Fsmash is his strongest kill move. Not his best, but his strongest. The empty SH or SHL is merely to mindgame them into shield dropping into the FSmash. Besides, if you use it sparingly...

Bair is excellent. End of Story

But SHL -> Boost Usmash is pretty much unavoidable if the laser hits.

Of course, but unavoidable isn't what I'm talking about here. It's tricking your opponent. when they see you do a SH, if they now anything about Falco, they'll assume he's gonna laser. When he doesn't, they're caught off guard.

Not really most of my opponent don't expect lasers when I SH but thats because I am the #1 Dair/Bair Spammer ;)

Hey SK, I was wondering if you'd be interested in coming to this tournament in Philly on Feb 7/8:Clash of Titans IV

Ally, Mew2King, Azen, Chudat, Atomsk, Hylian, DSF, Lee "who won Nintendo Gamestop USA tourney", Reflex, NinjaLink, and many others are going so I thought I'd give you a heads up so you can maybe make it possible.

I don't main Falco, but SK92, I've seen your videos, and I have to say that the first time I saw you pull off that chain-grab and turn it around with a pivot grab, that I was extremely amazed. Your Falco is just too good. I wish there were more like you. You truly are the best.

so in any of the championship matches were he went falco and there was chain grabbing left and right did you manage to wall tech any of the spikes like you previously stated some one could do?
