haha yea but falcon has to worry about that a lot less than say sheik fox and falco

falcon is so fast he can run circles around peach

however, since peach is the one who has to chase him, she has to really perform her offensive options well, like turnip fairs and stuff, or if she chooses to play defensive...

either way, her priority is hard to get through. falcon doesnt have to worry that much about losing trades though, since he can just run circles around her

good morning everyone.
****, your sleep schedule is so off
no it's not

falcon is so good against peach

just dont get dash attacked or grabbed or knocked off the stage lololollolo
yeah. just don't get hit, grabbed, or go off stage.
with that playstyle, falcon's really good against fox, falco, and sheik, too!

i'm sorry to say it, but it looks like the only people down to go don't have money to do so.
we should still play though.

lol im serious about not getting hit as falcon against peach though

if u think about it consciously

the matchup is so easy

macd gets off on my falcon/fox though, 60~70% of the time. macd's random hits are too ****

my falco can do it though

Does falcon even have any favorable match-ups against top tier characters? Bad recovery, bad fast falling rate (it's good for fox and falco because their shield pressure ability is ****). I guess I just don't like falcon, but it's fun to play against him for some reason

edit: MacD style is too good. Gets at you randomly even if you space correctly. I can't play falcon or peach at all

I know you are, I just feel as if a peach knows that a falcon's intention is to bait attacks, then she can adjust accordingly. Im not saying it's THAT easy, but the few amount of times she is able to adjust and get him off the stage through CG or OoS nairs , it shpuld be that easy to take the stock.
. . .or maybe im just bad at the matchup and my perspective sucks, iono. . . .

Does falcon even have any favorable match-ups against top tier characters?
No. And even IF falcon has a 55/45 edge on peach, First, it's not a noticeable edge, so it's moreso about who knows the matchup better, strictly, and not about advantage. And second, she has an easier time (or should have) against every other high-tier matchup (cept for marth) This is the main reason why I feel she is higher than falcon on the "tier" list.
that being said, there is no match-up/style that I feel that I can't learn over time, and I WILL crush everyone

i agree with your falcon johns, john. but he isn't a bad character. he's the worst good character in melee. haha that's my honest opinion.

that's basically what I was trying to say. . . worst best character . . . .I guess it came out as one big JOHN

where I feel if I was in a spot where if i mained fox, and it played a certain way that NEVER won against, let's say, a marth, I dont think I will ever be in that position as falcon. He can adjust better than any character in the game. That's why I play him. I wouldnt main him if I thought he didnt have a shot, EVER, to win.

I no backing out of challenge, EVA!

so you guys are playing friday? what's happening saturday? only a few of you are going to r3 then?

aight. i have an idea.

we play a 3 out of 5 with my falcon, my fox, and one where i can go anyone other than fox/falcon/peach.

my goal will be to win 2 out of 3 of those free mm's against you. lol

I hate the marth/falcon matchup.

So un-rad.

jpeg: $2 mm at r3? =)
It's prolly the most UN-un-raddest thing possible! Isai and ken make it look good
. . . and you saying 'so unrad' is soo ironic

amnd yeah, im down for the mm. . . . especially since I suggested it =p (emphasis on 'I')
2/3, it's on!
