Dont forget peach, jiggs, and falcon if hes good enough. At a higher level of competition falco gets ***** by falcon.
Sheik is also questionable now a days. And Marth is a piece of ****.

NO WAY that falcon beats falco higher level, no way.

peach doesn't beat falco's who know the matchup and camp.

jiggs i've been told is even. don't get grabbed.

sheik is questionable.

marth gets beat by falco.

also ticket prices went up, i'm buying my tickets to genesis so poe is a Noe.

Marth has good CPs on neutral stages (FD, YS, FoD... Falco's favor on DL64 and neutral-ish on PS) so if you get one of those stages in the first match then you probably lose the set... doesn't really seem even to me

YS, FoD, DL64, and Pc stadium are all in falco's favor. marth wins on battlefield and fd.

reasons why falco is better than marth.

falco's shield pressure is stupidly good, like honestly i will list out options here since i've got nothing better to do right now.

Falco can approach with low lasers, destroying the idea of dash attack.

Falco can approach with one close laser to put marth in his shield for a grab. the only way a marth can do anything about this is to cc all the lasers, DI down and away for a counter, but even then if the falco has good spacing a dash dance can simply punish marth badly right there and the counter will be avoided(if we are playing perfect).

falco plays the platforms better than marth, has auto combos regardless of DI. By this i mean at low percents marth in reality cannot escape a pillar. honestly falco vs marth they both have kinda the same objective, to get you above them because both of them can **** each other if they are below, although falco does have a much better down air to recover from juggling combos.

Falcos lasers absolutely ruin marth, like honestly, i know Mo the laser trick with marth but even then if a falco reacts fast enough/times his attacks, jumping and hoping to god the fair comes out before falco hits you is unlikely.

This is why falco beats marth in the matchup, Dekline is king at it. Crouch cancelling. Falco can seriously take a tipped fair, or down air sometimes cc down and away from marth and hit marth with an fsmash, its stupid. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qna80MbcAAc at 1:12, m2k doesn't space his bair well, shiz ccs to fsmash, this is an example of how gay ccing can be in the matchup.

Marth against a good falco who places lasers well is FORCED to play defense, if you try to be aggressive against a falco who lasers well, he will simply camp you, laser you, close the gap use laser lag and get you in a combo.

Marth can only do so much, most of the time you will find all marth players sitting in there shield against a falco hoping to wavedash away from a pillar to get a tipped/untipped fsmash, or they will hope the falco will dash attack through to jump OoS bair. Shield grabs are possible but unreliably difficult to get off because it is based on your shield DI, the spacing of the falco's shine, and whether or not you grab on the immediate 2-4 frames its available. Or you can grab a falco who sucks at shffling dair shine.

Even so, if a falco does pillar your shield, its a bad mistake on falcos part. a Falco can simply jc grab out of the shine and up throw you to bair, dair, uair, or he can put you towards the edge of the stage with an fthrow. Falco can also Pillar your shield but rather than shine your shield, He DI's away, you go for a grab and he fsmashes your face.

My hopes when playing a falco are to get grabs, tech chase, space well, hope for a dash attack, and put them on platforms. Most of all if i can get them on the edge they are done for. I also powershield lasers to mess up falcos composure.

Falco is the 2nd best character in the game, and BEST character against people who don't know the matchup.

marth loses on yoshi story because falco works the platforms so well, his dair just moves very well on/inbetween platforms, combos really never stop there for him, and he kills people horizontally and the sides are SMALL on that stage.

FoD ***** marth hard sometimes, the way the platforms can be really hurt marth's game because his moves are often platformed cancelled, his grab game gets messed up bad by the platforms as well. Also he really has no setups for tippers, juggles with uptilt on this stage.

Pc Stadium goes to falco because Marth is let me emphasize this, HORRIBLE on stage transformations. Like he is probably the worst character on the stage changes as far as all top/high tier go. he doesn't do bad when its neutral, but otherwise this really hurts marth. also, more platforms = more **** for falco.

I would disagree with FoD being in Falco's favor because the platforms **** up his lasers just as much. It's hard to control a stage when your projectiles are automatically cancelling themselves or being forced to go higher than usual, and Falco is a mediocre character when he can't stun people long enough to get a hit in

Most of what you said about YS is also true for Marth... utilt has always ruled that stage and always will, and Marth's a side killer as well. At the very worst it's neutral

This thread blows without my randomness . . .
Anyways, I didnt get the job which I kinda knew in my gut that I wasnt gonna get.
They said I lacked job experience with people and confidence :'(
Just got back from MN so someone should call me for games.
Ill see if I can go to Joker's this weekend.

I agree that Falco loses to Marth on FoD, but maybe that's because I'm not approaching it right when I'm Falco? I can never seen to get a laser rhythm going because of platforms blocking my jumps.

Also, I accept the MM JBM :D And yes, I'm up at 6. Why? Dunno.

No one who posts around here plays Brawl.
We're all Melee players.
And those "really sick players" might be Me, Smeesh and Cue since we're the only people in Nebraska who are half way decent at the game without playing it seriously.
Im a Dedede/MK main.
Smeesh is a Peach main.
Cue is a Snake main.

I'm going to have to agree with "EBF" (wtf tyser) Brawl is just awful to us I don't have the kind of time to tell every brawl player why
if you want brawl practice/tourney JOker's holding one this weekend its in Des moines though

however don't let me discourage you
play melee and we won't have to cut you..... with our brawl cd's we made into ninja stars
