New Advanced Technique: Reflector Locking

[DJ Arcatek]

So last Saturday when I went to Next Level Lan tournament, I friendlied mah boy Mink, and we went to PS1. It was mad hype, everyone around us was yelling and ****. Then all of a sudden, I pull out something crazy...

As far as I know, this only works in the PS1 tree, so it's highly situational. But if you get someone in that and can manage to trip them consecutively (like I did) then that's pretty much a lock. He told me he legitimately couldn't get out of it, so I'm thinking we may have something going on here. Thoughts?

 

[Choice]

its not guaranteed that the reflector will trip always, but i have had something similar happen to me before so maybe? did you do any more testing past this?

 

[Xaltis]

Yo thats the best thing ever. They always trip when you hit them. New AT everyone. Choice you dont know what your talking about your a Yoshi main. MAYBE if you mained Falco you'd know how it works.

 

[Choice]

it always trips within some number of frames after someone lands so i'm thinking maybe its also the case if someone just stood up.

 

[DEHF]

Wow, this could really improve Falco's metagame. I can't believe this hasn't been discovered sooner.

Ayo shut up go back into your egg. This is a Falco discussion no Yoshi's in here.

 

[Two-Ell]

I concur

 

[DJ Arcatek]

THANK you, Larry! At least someone appreciates my hard work to expand Falco's metagame :|

THE HELL!? I'm here defending it against this ***** Yoshi.

 

[Choice]

your lasers and jabs don't scare me.

 

[DJ Arcatek]

Sorry Xaltis, thanks to you too

Choice, you main -YOSHI- now. Dinosaurs obviously appeal to you more than birds do, so your opinion is invalid. Good day, sir.

 

[Xaltis]

your lasers and jabs don't scare me.

Then i'll just go Yoshi and beat you in the ditto like I did to Yosh at Whobo.

 

[Choice]

ey yo, birds come from dinosaurs so respect yo elders.

 

[Xaltis]

Dinosaurs come from eggs which birds lay.

 

[Choice]

birds lay bird eggs, yoshi can lay falco eggs though.

 

[Xaltis]

Vids or it didnt happen.

 

[DJ Arcatek]

^... Choice has a point.

ANYWAY. Back to the matter at hand. I'm thinkin this can now be a good Falco CP. Try to bait your opponent into the tree then Reflector them. (you can't be really close to tree or else it'll just knock 'em away like I did the last time)

 

[Choice]

i've always thought ps1 was a good falco cp caz of how small the platforms are (so anyone platform camping gets laser locked pretty easy). plus spaceys in general have quite a few tricks here. ceiling is of standard height.

 

[DJ Arcatek]

Yeah. The only problem are the ledges. You can't firebird onto them or else Falco won't grab on :| (what's the point of having hand-like wings when he doesn't even use them >.>)

On what frames does the reflector trip your opponent?

You can firebird the ledges, its just harder than other stages.

 

[Choice]

you can't firebird horizontally at them

 

[DJ Arcatek]

I like how neither of you answered my question. You guys are no help.

 

[Xaltis]

@ Choice: Oh you meant that? Yea you can't do that, same with lylat.

@ DJ Jack: Idk I could figure out maybe but I don't feel like its that important.

 

[Gamegenie222]

This can be interesting I need to try it out pretty soon but it's seems like a PS1 exclusive technique. Good stuff DJ Jack.

 

[-DR3W-]

Advanced technique? lul

ey yo, birds come from dinosaurs so respect yo elders.

LOL
get *****!

 

[clowsui]

i've known about this technique forever lol, i just didn't think it'd be worth posting because a lot of people just camp all the way on the other side of the tree

thanks for posting it though DJ jack

 

[Xaltis]

Nope nobody has known about this technique ever. Not even me or Dehf, DJ Jack is the soul creator of this technique, anyone who says they knew or thinks its not legit doesn't truly main Falco and are just posters.


Yea POSTERS

The Jack lock?

 

[Xaltis]

The Jack lock?

Ayo DJ Jack, rename this thread, Viper has just named your AT.

 

[Elyssa Xey Hexen]

Tree Chasing is the term of this situation. You tech chase people in the tree with a shine.

 

[Xaltis]

I dont see a Falco icon on you crystal so you have no say.

 

[SN Viper]

nope put it in the new falco guide as the Jack Lock.

 

[Yumewomiteru]

This doesn't deserve its own thread imo.

 

[Xaltis]

This doesn't deserve its own thread imo.

You also don't main Falco so you don't understand.

 

[Choice]

wait xaltis i thought you were repping the bat nowadays.

 

[Vlade]

Guys please keep discussion related to the topic, looking at you Choice

 

[Xaltis]

wait xaltis i thought you were repping the bat nowadays.

Nah I'm beeeeerrrrrrrrrd. The bat is just my summon.

 

[Blacknight99923]

does this work in other places?

if it trips a certain amount of frames after someone lands this could be a great tool to **** falling metaknights who are jumping around lasers.

or marths.

edit but mainly metaknights.

This could probably work on places with walls actually, like Delfino.

 

[Kuro~]

It could be used another way. Like if does do it at certain frames then if you can punish a landing with this and cause a trip it could lead to a chase to grab or other moves/dacus/dash attack.
