you were asking me for C. Falcon brawl tips?

just a few quick ones
-Don't spam the knee. it's not like in melee. only use knee more when your'e really good at hitting with it like me, ask forward lol.
-Jab jab grab is bread and butter.
-If you fast fall the first hit of your nair, it pops them up just enough for grab, so naturally nair, jab jab grab works.
-Use more autocancel dair, and punish lag with it when you can

is there any good strategy against fighting a snake? or just using what you said above?

also is there any faults in using that grab knee off the stage combo?

against snake, dno't try to knee him out of his up-b. either dair him if he's below or in front of you (because the dair that sends them away is actually useful agianst his recovery) and watch his percentage because it may take a few dairs to kill him due to his recovery being so good and hit stun being garbage.

if he's in front of you or above you, up-b him. the grab hitbox on it is huge. but try to do it in the early frames when he starts the up-b, because if he drops or aiddodges off and you miss the cypher (aim for the cypher) then you'll die.

of course use the stuff from above too, but a couple more tips against snake would be

-Be careful with (grounded) falcon kick. do not use it at low damage because he'll either land and ftilt you, or bair you. if he's at a good amount of damage its pretty safe move if he doesn't block it.
-at 0% and maybe up to like 5 or 10%, you can falcon kick snake from above and it'll do like 23-25% damage. if he blocks it you're ****ed.
-approach with grabs a lot becuase if he shields any of your aerials its a free grab or ftilt for him. don't ALWAYS try to grab though cause he may spot dodge.

that's just a few things off the top of my head. for the 'grab knee off the stage combo' do you mean dthrow to knee? cause i never land that ****.



oh yeah and kill moves against snake. upsmash kills probbably at 120% maybe. dsmash is good too and i use it personally for punishing rolls but i don't know the percentage for killing him off the top of my head. Knee if you use it at the right time. uair will also be a semi-common kill move since he doesn't really die so once he hits the usual 180% a uair may kill him LOL.

try to gimp him whenever possible with the dair, but don't be too jump-off-the-stage happy because you may jump right into a nair which does 28% fresh.

yeah the down grab you have to run off and go straight for the knee as soon as they fly off because they usually airdodge to prevent another ariel hit and during that since the loss of directional air doge they fall and will be forced into it other characters just naturally fall to get the lower part of the stage for a safer recovery

So Tommy is two of the three, maybe four top players in the Gaming Club, and all of Ironwood Ridge High School. He was planning to have money matches but Tommy is renowned for being the best, (SO TRUE =p) and since the new commers don't know how great he is, what's the best way into tricking them into money matches without them thinking he is a hustler?(since he's so **** amazing)
