I think I'm gonna do our crew a favor and play Sheik more often lol. Just wish we had a competent Peach/IC's/Samus to play against.
my peach is competent. too bad im the one who needs the most MU experience on her. my samus is alright, cant play a campy one tho which is the one ur usually gonna find

tech skill is easy. playing falcon is not. this is how I would describe my frustrations. Nothing against you Josh. And I really do think your a good player and everything but I dont think I know anyone who uses falcon seriously and doesnt rage hard at spacies (and others) having an easy time kicking his ***.

Honestly if i had a tough matchup with EVERY top tier char in the game i would rage too so i really don't know that much about falcons mindset. :/

I think falcons over-exaggerate how hard the space animal matchup is, specifically fox.
if you stay safe and control the stage you will never lose. don't get hit
falco is a bit harder because he almost always has stage control with gay broken lasers and dair, but once you get your mittens on him you can choke slam him around a few times and curb stomp his face with your knee

It's so much worse for ganon, T_T

luckily he has GIANT HITBOXES that still do nothing vs falco's laser/pillar combos

fox ***** falcon pretty bad if you do it right with fox
I really don't think it's that bad. falcon's nair/bair compete with fox's moves, uair comes out faster and keeps fox from approaching from above you. both characters combo the **** out of each other. fox has easier ledge guards but most **** up and get fooled by falcon's broken recovery

i think the worst thing a falcon can do in this matchup is shield

i agree that approaching falcon can be annoying. but thats the only thing falcon has going for him. once you get inside his nair wall and watch for stomps out of shield you basically just go to work on him

if you tech smart you will rarely get tech chased to death, and you can combo falcon super hard and there is little he can do. also its very easy to edgeguard falcon with fox, and kinda tricky to edgeguard fox with falcon.

Fox ***** falcon, and so does falco on equal levels, falco a little more than Fox, but either way. The average falcon can't really do much against a competent spacy. You have to be top falcon level to do such a thing. It's a sad realization, but it's truth.

For you Adam, I say don't give up though. Just play the camp game, I know you can't stand playin campy, and I can't either, but I do use Fox who doesn't share the same issues so me sayin it is kinda void. But for you, there aren't any rules sayin that you can't do both. Pick and choose your spots, you have to know when to play campy, and when to play aggressive.

that's because no falcon main alive has mastered the art of falcon punch edgeguarding

looks like this young marth main will have to fly the falcon colours at the next tourney ;)

Who da fux does a 3 and a half minute long intro. Other than that the video was sweet as hell. And you can't go wrong with some Rakim, true hip hop right there, and the song fit perfectly I thought. And trust me, there are plenty of good songs left you just aren't lookin hard enough.
