Need help with MK

[TheREALShadowChaos]

How do I beat the grand prix in 150 CC?
Hahahaha just kidding yeah I know lame joke.

Anyways, whenever I play against MK I feel that this is an impossible matchup. Of course, that can not be true, this is the Captain that we're talking about!
But it feels like MK has more range, attack speed, priority, and is almost unpunishable while all my moves are to easy to punish. I also have no idea how to gimp him or whatever.
Any tips on this matchup?

I think someone mentioned in another thread that you should gamble on your smash attacks, U-tilt, up-B, and Falcon Kick for damage, since, for the most part, the rest of his moves have issues, and at least they deal a bunch of damage.

lol, this is probably C. Falcon's worst matchup. Good luck with it.

 

[TokiDoki]

yea, for sure >.<

Dsmash. Up+B. Utilt. Uair. Bair.

Jab>Grab>Fthrow>Dash Attack
Dtilt>Falcon Kick
Dtilt>Utilt
Dtilt>Uair (At high%)

If you Falcon Kick MK at low%, you will be PUNISHED.

Don't waste time going for knees.

Glide Attack > everything you have. Avoid, then punish. Watch out for the Dsmash spam after the landing.

Side+B spike sometimes. MK is light, and if this lands 70%+, he is DEAD.

Up+B facing away from the stage to counter-gimp him.


This entire fight is about feinting. Don't walk into the ****. If they Whornado, dash attack them during the ending lag.

Whornado is the peach d smash in melee.

Here's how you go about it.

1. get a first class plane ticket to Japan.
2. kidnapp Masahiro Fvcksurai
3. Threaten to kill everyone hes ever loved if he does not agree to make an unbiased, balanced patch to Brawl
4. Fly back
5. Refuse to fight anyone still on version 1.0 who chooses to use Metawhore.

I'm sorry, I read the title, and I couldn't help but laughing :/

It's going to be read by most as "the 'worst' character in the game needs help against the 'best' character in the game"

Anyway, my first thoughts went to Up air and Up tilt. I haven't played many MKs with Falcon though, and when I do, I get violated pretty hard =D

Falcon Punch edgeguard.

My tip on this matchup is to not use captain falcon, but if you must hope that your opponent is a complete n00b.

 

[Problem2]

Your best bet is to ditto him with Metaknight. (+1 Metaknight Player) That's not your only option though. You can also try and convince SBR to ban Metaknight from tournaments. lol

Mindgames and anticipation are the only way to go. Not Falcon Punch because his moves finish so fast, but lots of Falcon Kick, Raptor Boost, autocancelled DAir if he's sitting on the ground (his tilts are pretty low), and hopefully you'll get lucky and land DSMash, which has great range. UAir is alright, but your other aerials will have a lot of trouble landing.

Old story man =(

Funny story, I just practiced against a lvl 9 MK as Falcon. I 2-stocked him. I was concerned about how bad the balance was so I switch roles. I 2-stocked the lvl 9 Falcon as MK. Rinse, wash, repeat and every time I kept getting similar results. It seems like the tier list is a little overhyped.

When MK jumps, his initial jump hight is low (since he has multiple jumps) so when he does this, Raptor Boost. That usually works. Other than that, sheild grabbing is your best friend. It's saved me countless times from the Whorenado. Good luck!

Playing against computers doesn't mean muc. lvl 9 computers don't stack up to humans. HUman metaknight players will use different tactics.

OMG, you sir are the most immature troll on the C. Falcon boards

in all seriousness, what bowyer means to say is that the tier list is created based on how the best HUMAN players in the world are playing as the characters. how you play against level 9 computers doesn't really apply because the computers are stupid, have predictable patterns , and dont learn about your style of play like humans do. you can think of the tier list as being a list of the characters in order from best to worst, where if two players of completely equal skill were to play over and over again as all the characters, the ones at the top of the list would win more.

lol, thanks for clarifying my post, lol.

 

[rofa]

lol sure thing

 

[SmashBrother2008]

You guys made my day...

 

[HiddenBowser]

lol i laugh when i post

One sick then I have started to do is read people after the d-throw. Let them air dodge because you know they will air dodge if you run to do an u-air all the time, so read the air dodge then nail them with the knee of justice.
