Smash Ace
A lot of you have probably realized by now that Falco's dsmash range has been nerfed. It barely goes past his body now, while in melee it had much more range.
I've started using a technique that allows me to safely rush a person and get them with a downsmash.
Short hop towards them, air dodge into them (the hand motion is almost identical to wave dashing), and then slam the c-stick down as soon as you hit the ground. There are barely any frames (if any) where you are unprotected in the air, and Falco's dsmash has the advantage of coming out quite fast. In fact, I think if you slam the c-stick right before you hit the ground, it removes all start up lag; I'll try it again tonight to see. This works the best on someone like ike. I know it can be used with any character, but it helps the most with Falco due to his dsmash speed.
I don't have a name for this. Any thoughts?
