Yes you fastfall his Dair, you have to fastfall all of his Aerials.

and Just try to catch your opponet off guard with the Nair
1 Nair can finish a stock

i dont think you should fast fall the Dair just be sure to L-cancel, and you cant get sheild grabbed, but if you miss you can and probably will get grabbed.

Im guessing your a little new to falcon? his Nair is a bit wierd but thats why its cool, you get two hits, the best way to approach is to dash dance do some Nairs in place then do a Nair that just barley hits them with both kicks, you have to DI back to do it right. hope this helps!

So do you fast fall the Dair or na? 2 diff opinions, so i wanna hit the second hit always with the Nair, also if i mess up with it i can just fast fall L-cancel and then grab right, Any more ways to aproach with it its kinda weird.

im pretty sure Rage is alot more experienced and better then me, go with his opinion, but i find it easier not to fast fall it, but with the Nair you wanna catch them with the tips of his feet, that way your not close enough for them to grab you. and i guess the only other way to approach would be just to do the moving Nair towards them without DIing back so you go right past them.

Both nair and dair of Falcon you can't fastfall right away. Wait for the animation (i.e both kicks of nair, full extension of dair) then fastfall l-cancel it. Try to be carefull to not try to fastfall during the hit lag of the dair wait a tinsy bit after.

when you n-air, the 2nd kick is the one you want to connect with, the first one does practically nothing, so just wait a little bit more for the 2nd kick to come in before you fast fall

You can totally shield grab dair and it's better to FF it, just so you can follow up faster afterwards.

Nair is tricky to fast fall because you want the second hit to make contact.

The first hit of the nair can act as a tap reset to lead to a grab so getting both hits isn't the best option all the time.
