my opinion, i give you a 6, because you know your skills, but your timeing and mind game isn't that good. (my opinion!)

Not bad. As the others are saying you need to use the grab more. Cancel some aerials into grabs. Also, the side B is a great setup, but you have other options, try not to overruse it because it's easily punishable. Other than that, mad squabbles.

Eaode, no, but you can techchase her on the down throw, even though that isn't very good either.

uair/nair more instead of dair vs sheik

everytime you raptor boosted, you would do the same thing and it kept not working. work on that. :)

can CF chainthrow sheik?
yes, at low percents with both dthrow and uthrow( you've gota be really quick with the regrab when uthrowing because sheik can nair really early) as long as sheik doesn't DI away.

I don't think you used nair once through that whole video. Nair is a great approach move, especially against people with high priority like Sheik.

Lee- that's inaccurate, Sheik's ftilt, jab, dash attack, Fair and Bair will beat a nair. Bair is better if you need speed and power, but it's difficult to space against Sheik.

Nvm, I don't know which video I thought belonged to this thread, but I watched yours again and you did use nair. Maybe i'm going crazy?

I thought you had a good falcon, good skill, good comeback, I would give you a 7 or 8. The grabs, mind games, and spacing might need a little work, but I am new to this whole thing.

I'll say what the others are saying, but I really need to stress the grabs! C.Falcons grabs are good, so use them more often. Other than that a pretty good Falcon, 6.

Grab, grab, grab! And combo from those grabs!
Also, your ledge game needs work. For the most part, you just rolled or did a regular A attack from the ledge. I recommend some edgehop UAirs, NAirs and FAirs more often. And mix them around a bit to throw off your opponent. Good CF, though. Definitely better than mine. How long have you been using him?
