I've had some youtube vids up for a while but those are meh, I uploaded a couple semi-recent ones tonight. I figure if I make a video about the knee I'd better not completely suck at this game.

Comment, critique, whatever. At least it's better than replying to another post on how to do the gentleman correctly. Right? Right.

I loved the ending to the first one. You've got a decent Falcon, better than what most people post.

Some things that caught my eye: your spacing needs a little work. Little things like DIing your Nair backwards and overall just staying out of range of Luigi's attacks with DD and stuff.

Also, raptor boost isn't a good approach. It's more of a follow-up and to keep a combo going, but you really can't combo Luigi that well with Raptor boost anyway.

In this matchup you just have to be more aware of how long Luigi gets stunned from what moves you used, because he can just Nair you out of like anything. Especially at lower percents, Dthrow > wait > whatever.

Hope this helps.

Yeah, I've been trying to cut back on the raptor boosts.

I really wish I could play with 'pros' more often. When I play at FC I find myself slowly improving my game a little, busting out moves that I usually wouldn't. Though my cousin continues to beat me here with sheik. But cmon, it's sheik. It's like trying to beat rock with scissors

lol..I know how you feel, always an uphill battle for me. Worst thing is the best sheik I play only took her up after my CF ***** his main again and again. And thus the brokenness conquers me >.>. Keep it up on your CF, doin' just fine.

I counter sheik with falco, it works *sometimes* but I'm by no means a great falco, so I usually don't fare that much better than with falcon.

So I must sit by and watch every single one of sheik's moves pop me into the air for the dreaded smack, smack smack smack. The JC grab that reaches through time and space itself to grab me. The needles that mess with my approach constantly, or gimp my recovery more than it already is. The ledgeguard dtilt that ALWAYS spells instant death for me (dtilt>fair) unless I'm at low percents or manage to tech it first. The spot dodge that is ALWAYS THERE no matter what, the dodge that she can perform five times in a row while falcon is almost halfway done with his.

ahhhhh
