It's the most effective unless they firefox real close.
Also, Bair is super easy to edge guard them with.

Definitely not viable, lol. A whiff gives Fox center stage back, which just sucks sooooo much.

I think it's viable. If fox is ever off the edge by a distance of about falcons side-b (distance may or may not be accurate I'm not sure how to explain how far it is) and below the edge by his double jump height (meaning if he DJ'd he would be level with the ledge) you can go flying out and knee him on reaction to the DJ during firefox/illusion start up. if he waits and DJ>up-b then you have time to up-b back and bair/stomp/roll edgeguard. if fox up-bs right away without DJing then he might challenge you back to the stage but usually it's safe.
I can't totally explain where on the stage this works but I have a good feeling of where it is. doesn't work as well against falco because his double jump is higher so he has more leeway of when to do it.

Going off stage with a knee is very viable. In many scenarios it covers all options with either strong knee or (more likely) hitting with the weak hit, recovering and then edgehog/knee/bair/dair from ledge with invincibility. In any case, fox should die. The knee covers shine stalls and all jump timings (including sideb and upb location mixups). In some cases fox might be able to fastfall and firefox without a jump and get a burn hitbox out in time, but i've never seen someone do it.
The real question becomes the setup. I'm a little rusty on the match-up, but some common setups are gentlemen near the edge and bair. Depending on DI this could start as low as 40 or 50%. Basically fox can't be able to grab the edge with his jump and falcon must be in relatively low lag so that he has time to dash and knee.

Knee off stage is the epitome of high risk/high reward in terms of viable options for falcon (IMO).
Most of the time if you hit, even at low %s, gets you a stock. Missing on the other hand means you often lose a stock because of falcon's joke of a recovery.
Being up a stock is worth it, but too risky unless you know they are going to get hit.
On a similar note. F-throw at the ledge into DD>SH nair off stage ***** falcos. Thoughts?

if I go for the double jump off stage knee and whiff beause they went low I immediately fast fall so the weak knee still hits them
then i usually try to up-b towards them and get hit
also, i think if they are off stage and you want to hit them, full hop n-air is the best because if its good range and ability to fast fall if they go low, still hitting them and you are able to up-b back if you do it right
thats assuming you hit them high though like with strong knee and they DI well and it has usually be spacies

. . . WHOAAWHAAAAWTFOMGSOGETRAPeDGUUUUDBBQ!!!
. . . after seeing the last 5 seconds . . . im a fan =D
Woulda been great had he not jumped after getting knocked off for the 4th time, you knew this, and just went fuken deep on his ***. . .but the taunt knee was just about as good
Didnt you win?
nawt bad. . . =D
I'd love to see an example of a sh nair off stage. . . seems like it wouldnt cover nearly as much as a knee, or a safer bair would.
I like going for the stretched out knee way more when/if you get a stock lead and find yourself around dying %s while your opponent spacie is about at 30-40%
at those %s I like going alil higher than average, being able to gimp the high upb and towardb options and make it back, and if he goes under you for a lower ss upb, you dj dair for the good trade. unless you feel like youre a lot better than the other player, in which case you should almost never jump far off the edge.
and in regular scenarios, it will still cover a good amount of options (like someone said earlier). . .
but yeah, you must be pretty sure the spacie isnt expecting it

Just use it sparingly and it'll get you free stocks. Observe what they normally do when recovering and make sure that what they normally do isn't going to counter it (most likely it isn't because jumping out with knee covers like 3/4 of the regular recovery options). Then just mix it in sometimes.
They'd have to be psychic to guess when you're going to do it if you let them get away with their regular recovery a couple times.

I have been feeling this too. Falcon can extends so far off stage and still make it back. He is pretty good off stage when he wants to.

how quick should i be able to get the nair to come out? who should i be able to hit the first hit of the nair with on the way up?

How do I tell which way nipple spike will send (Besides down, for the smartasses out there)? It seems like it has a specific angle that it generally sends, but every time I think I have it figured out it changes it up.
Ever since my whole family drowned, stomp -> nipple spike at the edge is my favorite thing to do.

the nipples in the front send them down and slightly diagonally
if you do a reverse nipple stomp it'll go backwards

the first hit of a fast shffl nair will miss fox. this is, afaik, the only circumstance you should be aware of
note that if fox is jumping himself, your nair will actually clip him and beat a nair/dair startup. why? because your nair goes further, usually it's spaced so that falcon is aerial before fox, so even though fox has fast startups and a 3frame short hop your hitbox will pre-empt him and snag his hurtbox
the oil spill is a tragedy, I wish people would stop looking at a single oil spill and look at the total damage done by oil spills per year. It's despicable, we are killing the planet, and we will eventually kill ourselves continuing down this "humans vs. brutal mother nature" path where we think we are above the laws of life

The hell are you talkin bout son? You can't welcome Etwist to the falcon boards lol I've been here too long.
Butttt the boards were still cool in '10, it got faggy when everybody started to just talk about Falcon rather than talk about Falcon and random ****. It's all good though.

ok something relevant:
what are some movement mindgames that can be used to get grabs? i feel like im having trouble in my neutral game, i try to do things and either mess up spacing or its too complex to work.

Wait, what? howtf did Falco dair!? ... lol

So, in Falco's side-B, the hitbox trails Falco's hurtbox (that's why it is so easy to intercept and why if Marth counters it, Falco won't be hit). I believe that what happened is Falcon's up-B grabbed Falco but the Phantasm hit Falcon (meteoring him), which triggered one of those weird grab releases that happens when the grabber gets hit (which is why Falco was sent away from the stage and was no longer in Special Fall). I don't think Falco daired.
I am not sure though, so I would like a confirmation or correction.
