at lower they wont have enough hitstun to knee them, so upair them
at higher percentages you will have knocked them too far and will be out of hitstun by the time you get there, so upair them

i play vs a luigi main multiple times per week. **** the weegee nair

somewhere in the middle-high percentages you can stomp -> knee and Raptor Boost -> Knee

somethin like 80% - 95ish%

yeah leviathan i remember you

just keep doing it, eventually the motion will become easier for your hands, if i were you i'd do it to grab the ledge during practice since that's probably when you'll be using it most

i still can't multimoonwalk ftr

it's barely possible to even survive on other stages if you're bad at doing it
fixed for accuracy since i survive run off dair 100% of the time, sans being edgehogged and even then sometimes

Attention all falcon players: Why the hell did you guys show a lack of representation at Tipped Off 5? The only big name falcons were Ali and GAWes. Not only that, but a guy named "Sugoi Kawaii Moe Chan" was one of the three falcons in bracket. http://www.smashboards.com/showpost.php?p=8321517&postcount=1221 Tubes and RJ'sHouse are excused because the former is cool and the later is my future self so that is fine in my book.

So east coast falcons like Hax and Scar ( I forgot hax's excuse ;_; ), step it up.

In all seriousness, I am saddened that there were only three falcons in tipped off 5 bracket. =-(

Speaking of dropzones, I saw Sugoi Kawaii Moe Chan go for a dropzone knee on Tope at about fifty percent for both characters, missed because Sugoi was dumb at that moment or something I dunno, and then got edgehogged. I was sad and probably he was, too.

Lesson: Never be too greedy.

Nairing opponents off the edge then kneeing or upairing them by running of the ledge then immediately doing an arial has been working pretty well for many reasons. Definitely something us Falcons should implement and do it perfectly for each situation.

I would think doing it out of a run would be easier because you have that added momentum. Its also a nice rhythm for your fingers to get into.

Thats just my opinion, to get more distance which was my overall goal when moonwalking or else its useless.

you cant do it out of a run

its out of dash

dash one way
then bring it to the other way and then go down through the bottom until you get to the way you started dashing first


so lets say you dash left first

so on the control stick

left>right>bottom right>bottom>bottom left>left and let go then repeat

Well learning to moonwalk out of a walk is useful because it makes it possible to moonwalk other characters much easier. I thought I would just suggest it as a alternative method that you might find easier.

Yesterday I did a moonwalk to edgecancle stomp... with GANON!!!!

Ganon's moonwalk is pretty nice out of a perfect waveland or ledgedash. I use it quite a bit.

Falcon's is just so much faster though and imo can be used more practically more often (<3 bair edgeguards).

DD moonwalk? is that a reverse moonwalk?

As for sexy things to do with ganon although completely unrelated to this thread, I want to hit someone with edge canceled Dair > Dair.

I have done edge canceled Dair > Uair and that made me orgasm instantaneously.

I want to expect better of you, but I know not to
so like, he WDs onto the stage perfectly, starts a dash back towards the edge, then Moonwalks out of it towards the center of the stage, which combined with the WD momentum makes him fly towards center stage and then he SH fairs, it's so slick and fast, I almost **** myself the first time I saw him do it.

Scar-i watched some of your recent tourney vids and i think i have some advice for you. You should stick to one color

I have to disagree with this statement strongly. My Falco has been leveling a lot quicker since I ditched single color and have expanded my horizons to include Falco Fonzerelli, Cool Blue Falco, and Regular Falco.

i feel that you have to develop a strong bond with one color of your character before you can get good. Maybe different things work for different people though
