It says it on youtube! BTW the falco's skill is questionable, it looks like he has somewhat fast hands, but he doesn't play smart....at all.Who's Falco is that?
For me at least, Falco is one of the very easiest matchups Mewtwo can have.wow... didn't know m2 could take falco..
Out of the high tiers anyway... Most low tiers are loads easier than Falco..For me at least, Falco is one of the very easiest matchups Mewtwo can have.
falco massively counters mewtwoAiro, I find lasers to be no real problem at all. It is not really character specific in dealing with them either. It is more of how you handle it in general. I agree that if you sit there and get hit by laser after laser, it will be quite problematic. The simple answer is to not let yourself get hit repeatedly by lasers.
Short Hop Laser is a tactic designed to give the Falco control over the match. To beat this tactic, all you have to do is not let the Falco maintain control.
If you remain stationary and shield each projectile, and powershield with a decent level of effectiveness, then the Falco will be forced to approach you, which is exactly the opposite of what he was trying to achieve.
One can also approach the Falco. Granted, this is what the Falco wants you to do, Mewtwo has some of the best options for doing this. He has excellent horizontal movement in the air. This will allow you to get to the Falco while remaining above the lasers usually with few jumps. What you do when you get to the Falco is completely up to the player. Use your best discretion when deciding what to do.
I have played against the best Falcos in Florida and while they can be quite difficult, short hop laser is nothing that cannot be countered.
Peace.
neutral air approach = free hit for falcoI disagree with the idea that Mewtwo has only ground approaches. Neutral air is an incredible approach when used correctly and it can even be spaced to where you will not get shield grabbed even if they shield it.
no.. the point of short hop laser is not to get you to approach him.A Falco with short hop laser will try and get you to approach him. That is the entire purpose of short hop laser. If the Falco fails in this, and can inflict no damage, he may or may not try something else.
Granted, there is the occasional Falco who will be ridiculously persistent and continue to short hop laser with no end. It is still a matter of who is more persistent. The Mewtwo could camp on the ledge if he really wanted to.
A Falco would not stop using shl just because you reflect a few. A Falco would stop using shl if it was getting him absolutely nowhere in the fight. Power shielding simply hurts the Falco's confidence a bit, it is by no means an end all by itself.
mewtwo doesnt slaughter falco at close combat.I do agree that wave dashing is of absolute phenomenal necessity for mindgames. Without it, Mewtwo does indeed have none. However, that is not to say that because of this, every single aerial approach is useless. Aerial approaches while a Falco is using short hop laser can be very tricky as a good Falco can react quickly to your approach. When you are approaching, it is a matter of outmaneuvering. Unfortunately, there is no sure fire way of doing it every time. You have to correctly predict what the Falco will do each time and react accordingly, otherwise you will get hit.
Short hop laser aside, Falco gets slaughtered by Mewtwo in close combat. His weight is perfect for nearly every one of Mewtwo's combos.
Peace.
in all fairness, using mewtwo usually is suicide.mewtwo certainly SHOULD be approaching the falco. but mewtwo approaching by air is certainly suicide.
Agreed. I have been playing only Mewtwo at every tourney I have ever been to(And that is a lot of tourneys) Even against the very hardest matchups that Mewtwo can have, I never changed to another character that was better suited for the match. I simply tried to work with what I had. A ton of people who have never seen a good Mewtwo definitely come away surprised and impressed. It is the coolest feeling ever to be playing a match and some random people in the back that are watching are like "Woah, look at that Mewtwo"theoretically, its not toooo far from truth.
in reality, mewtwo is usually capable of putting up a very good fight.
Any good M2 gets two thumbs up for me :bigthumbuA Mewtwo that can destroy a spamming, wavedashing, and overall stereotyped Falco user gets two thumbs up in my book!
