New falco with AT troubles

[ADHD]

The SHDL I can't get the bottom laser to not have the ring around it and be soundless, is it supposed to be constant every time I do this?

And the inverse boost grabbing thing I'm having trouble with too, can someone explain the steps they take to do this?

And, how do you do a shortened phantasm?

The canceled phantasm can be done by repeatedly pressing by as soon as you hear the "Whoosh" sound.

The shdl doesn't require the second laser to be a silent laser. You just want it to be close to that height. So don't think you're doing it wrong if you aren't making it the canceled/silent laser. Test it out on kirby, if you're hitting kirby with the second laser, you're doing it perfectly.

Shortened phantasm doesn't require you to mash the b button, it's just helpful, xD Once the animation begins, you press b again to cancel it. I think there are at least two places to cancel, possibly three.

reverse grabbing is extremely simple. just do this:
assuming your running right: Right, Left+Grab.
very simple, and sometimes very useful

he said boost grabbing, not pivot grabbing -_-

 

[Korpocalypse]

for the inverse grab boosting, here's what you should do: move the joystiq SLIGHTLY before anything else, as if you were doing an F-smash, then do down-c-stick and z VERY close together, as If you were wavedashing and Z was air-dodge and down-c-stick was jump.

o lol my bad

are there any videos of Boost Grabbing/ IBG?

 

[bowz]

Isn't boost grabbing basically the same as a boost smash, just instead of up Z, you do the the opposite way you're moving and Z?

 

[Enochuout]

To do the boost pivot grab: Be running in one direction, flick down on the c-stick and immediately smash the other direction on the analog stick and press z. Just like with the boost smash, the idea here is to cancel the dash attack with a grab as quickly as possible. The faster the dash is canceled, the further you go.

I'm in the process of making a Falco guide. I thought it'd be helpful to put something together that consolidated all of his AT's information. I'll have videos of everything up too, though they won't be the best quality.
