Scar talks Lean Melee [2012YotF]

[P.C. Jona]

This is where I got the misunderstanding from. Skill is a very broad term, it doesn't just imply tech skill. Of course I would misunderstand if you say the above quote.

Also, when most people say "He is skilled," it means he has an overall skill that is relatively impressive not exactly his tech skill. If I want to say he has tech skill specifically, I would say he has tech skill not just say skill.

yea i should have clarified

i just like to shorten things

and use bad grammar

I heard you dont have a game anymore or something.

But I just thought it was funny. I assumed it was the raptor boost but thought u meant just a ledge cancel and not referring to the specific edge of yoshis story.

@jona. Skill is the term you are looking for. Tech skill is precision in the button presses that you do. A common misconception is that flashyness=techskill. But for the most part its consistency. It also has a direct influence on your game speed. Mindgames are how u use those button presses to force your opponent into doing what you want or to confuse them.

You would just say that person was way better than me unless it was a specific thing that messed u up. They had too much tech skill and played to fast or they didnt leave enough room for error. They are too consistent. Or u can get mindgamed lol.

yea i dont :[ kinda sad

but yea, im trying to say something like that

its just the way i say things is different

and it confuses people

like

everyone

Dear BigD,

Often when i find myself playing Falcon, people charge in with an attack and it usually scares me to the point of running off the ledge. The questions I'm asking is, when i raptor boost from off the stage to "jordan" cancel on the stage, should I usmash immediately? Or should i run past them and bair to pivot turn knee? Thanks for your time!

-Concerned in Chicago

the more important question you should be asking yourself is:

why not both?

WHAT THE F, BigD!? That's brilliant!

This is why you are the best.

 

[KAOSTAR]

[Zjiin]

ummm uhhh why not both. lol

Dude, you didn't even know the ways of the jordan. You're about as tight as these socks i need to replace.

 

[KAOSTAR]

[Zjiin]

**** straight. Now that you've been put in your place by it, i will let this thread continue.

 

[KAOSTAR]

You dont run ****.

falcon should never be scared

 

[noodles]

im pretty sure thats sarcasm

i dont know maannn

i know what im talking about but i just cant write it down

like i can play the drums but i cant teach

i try, i try

no not sarcasm lol. i know what you mean

 

[Scar]

ok guys im back and im going to warn/infract people now if this thread turns into balls

but seriously just make new threads for important discussions like how tight bigD is and how jona's opinions may not always be factually sound or... GASP who is the best CF

 

[noodles]

i think darkrains the best falcon

 

[soap]

but seriously just make new threads for important discussions like how tight bigD is

u falcon mains r a little too close

 

[_marth1_]

does anybody know how to set smashboards to ignore certain users' posts

i cant find it and want to try it out

edit: nvm i found it guys

this...i didnt know this was possible thanks

bigd: amazing at being amazing

 

[Mogwai]

smashboards would be much less bearable without the ignore list

 

[DrewB008]

Sorry Mic_128 is a moderator/admin and you are not allowed to ignore him or her.

lame

 

[Eaode]

Is it possible to Ledge-Cancel Falcon Kick? I've never seen it done.

 

[KAOSTAR]

U can ignore ppl lol? and its just like they dont exist?

 

[Hax]

your avatar is a ****ing rabbit smoking a cigarette.

you're making fun of kidrobot, frank kozik and the labbit logo... go kill yourself.

 

[Zjiin]

Dayumn, Hax knows his stuff.

Also, so this isn't a post that isn't productive, BigD/Scar, what RL figure to you identify with most while playing falcon at a beastly level? When i'm "laying the pavement" I often think of myself as a young Paul Warfield Tibbets Jr. He might not have invented it, but he sure dropped it!

^Niiiiiiiiiice.

Its happened to me on accident a number of times and its in no way usefull and if you aren't paying attention you might even SD because of it.

 

[Tomacawk]

if you put your front foot in between the red arrows on the platforms at stadium, your falcon kick will platform cancel on the end of the other one. Does anybody else know this? I learned long ago to never assume I'm the first to do something

 

[DrewB008]

i feel a connection with jackie chan

I know you guys probably watched both already.. which is the Darkrain and SS combo vids but with the youtubedoubler you can see both videos at the same time which is really cool. So I rewatched them both and it's really cool to see the different styles they both have... I'd say SS is more mindgames and Darkrain ***** you lol.

 

[KAOSTAR]

you're making fun of kidrobot, frank kozik and the labbit logo... go kill yourself.

My apologies if they are akin to the monkey.

@kage yea thats pretty interesting, and **** vs mindgames is kinda how I always thought of the two.

 

[P.C. Jona]

whats the best position to be in for a tech chase?

 

[noodles]

id guess a roll away from the edge. like at the edge pf a stage so if they roll they wont go anywhere, same if they tech, and they go right next to you if the roll to you. or maybe if your under a platform.

 

[Eaode]

When I said Ledge Cancel Falcon Kick, I meant coming onto the end of a platform from the air. Is this possible also?

 

[SuperMatt]

not from the air, no sir

 

[Ryan-K]

if you're close enough to a platform to do that you are far too close to be falcon kicking in the first place.

 

[Eaode]

Falcon Kick lasts a long time <_>

Thanks for the clarification Matt

 

[skyheart]

I disagree with 'Scar knows more tho' since it conflicts with Hax's thread.

just saying

 

[KAOSTAR]

Thats a valid concern

 

[Big_R]

hmmm pry doggy

that doesn't make sense. there is no conflict because Scar knows more than both Hax$ and G-Reg

[Tomacawk]

what do you approach with against somebody who spams ccs?

 

[P.C. Jona]

spam grabs

loool

or do a dair and hit them in the back and run

 

[NES n00b]

what do you approach with against somebody who spams ccs?

Hit them with nair still except space really ****ing well then run away or jump or grab.....down air is usually not that great of alternative unless you know for a fact that they just won't throw a hitbox in your face.

Does Falcon have any sort of platform play? Cause while I know Falcon usually has a good game against people on the lower platforms with upair and such I have been wondering if there is something that can be used in approaching or camping (that isn't ICs or ********)? Like waveland bairs could be one thing, but how would one say approach a character on the grounds using platforms like Sheik does to move around platforms? I doubt there is much seeing as how Falcon is especially vulnerable from below, but if anyone can give me some ideas or something that would be good.

Or you can call me ******** for thinking that is feasible or not knowing about his great platform game. Either way.

 

[DrewB008]

you can use platforms to avoid some falco lasers at times, just to try to get them to try harder to hit you and thus leave themselves vulnerable

tech chase people after you knock them on platforms with stomp/knee, or uair for easier/lesser reward

wavedashing off plats into nairs or uairs is kinda tricky and works a lot more than it should
