It's not a new idea, but no one in this board has discussed how ZSS's downsmash combos work in contrast to Falcon. In fact, most of the Falcons here don't even have an idea how good ZSS's downsmash -> footstool is.

And yes, I'm saying that because I main them AND because they're legit.

No offense, but I have 0% interest in falcon's 'doubles metagame'.
It's silly, imo.

And I guess I'm not alone in this, that's all.

It's unlikely that anyone will even use Falcon in competitive doubles offline unless they're going double Falcon for publicity. If someone's dead-set on using Falcon with anyone aside from Meta Knight, Snake and Wario, ZSS is probably one of their best bet.

Just contributing knowledge to the thread anyway.

I understand.

But that situation isnt very probable, as you seem to understand.

Again, no offense.

It's more likely than pulling of a Fhanfhus Loop.

If you don't want to contribute then don't bash those who do. Hopefully Buck will update the OP and we might be able to get some more discussions going.

I think he meant people using Falcon in doubles in general.

As for the combo, it's guaranteed and easy as ****. It's simple to do with any character, Falcon can just use a knee or something else that's manly out of it, which makes it that much better.

I'm not bashing. That's you.

And you just seem butthurt that you can't pull off a fhanfhus loop..
I can do it consistently, so why cant you?

Yes, that, and, when falcon does get picked for doubles, that the teammate is ZSS, over the characters you listed, also isnt very probable.

Again, no offense.

The reason that it's unlikely is because there's such a low amount of competitive ZSS players that even do doubles. The only one on the top of my head is Nick Riddle, which he usually teams with a Lucas IIRC.

There aren't many characters that can perform gimmicks or work in contrast with Falcon. The most that they can do is carry the team and babysit Falcon so he doesn't get KO'd or combo'd by stupid stuff, then Falcon can KO, assuming that his kill moves aren't stale. If he's sitting behind and racking up small bits of damage without staling the moves that ZSS can 'GUARANTEE' to hit, then it shouldn't be a problem.


Though I will agree with you, it's unlikely because people rarely use Falcon in the first place. ZSS/Falcon is a pretty abstract team, but it's definantly one of his best.

Just because there are a low ammount of ZSS players who do doubles, doesn't mean we can't discuss their potential. >_>

If you really make a Falcon/ZSS team, you should stun gun to Falcon punch. It works and is very humiliating.

In all honesty though, they're horrible together.

Manliest team, but unless you can hold your own during 2v2s {or possibly 2v1s}, which neither character can really do against most of the roster, then you're gonna have a hard time.

Anyone and anything. ZSS was the discussion IIRC, too lazy to look back through the pages.

You know what would be awesome? Two Captain Falcons grab releasing a Meta Knight back and forth, then kneeing him simultaneously.

We both Dtaunted the whole next game.

I remember the time the 'old' falcon's spammed, and the 'new' falcon's whined about it.

Now the 'new' falcon's spam, too. ^_^

So technically is it safe to say that Ally is the best Captain Falcon player right now?

BTW I would like to say thanks to all of you for your efforts for making that video. You guys are some sick Captain Falcon players....
