against shield pressure either wd back oos, or roll, or try to nair oos through it if he's slow or if you have balls of steel. sidestep sucks they'll hit the l-cancel and then **** you and there's nothing you can do about it.
knock him over with dash attack if he's in the air or mispaces a laser (doesn't work too great vs good falco that can aim but it should be noted) and then tech chase with d-smash and other moves, possibly even grab, u-smash is amazing
out of d-throw get really good reflexes and really used to reacting to all the variations of tech in place. get really used to being able to grab him out of tech in place. if he techs behind you or away you can do tricks to catch him (boost grab is stupidly good).
after 30 just d-throw and guess where he's going and u-smash or try to trick him into going somewhere and then u-smash. or stick to regrab stuff.
bair a lot.
needle from platform a lot. aggressively.
aggressively attack him. aggressively. he slaughters you in a camping war unless you can powershield like pkm and even then he probably wins.
gimp him like a troll on crack whenever it looks like there is the slightest chance you may be able to do so.
this all sounds good. be aggresive
sometimes u want to wd forward oos, especially if they are the falco that tries to double shine but dont do it perfectly and do the sh shine dj then try to bair or dar the other side of the shield. wd forward, pivot grab.
u can even wd forward through shine, delayed dair. getting out of shield pressure safely is big in this matchup, buffering rolls is also good and important. falco pillar reminds me of otk naruto's BBBA from gnt 4, u just have to find the whole in the pressure to punish. if u can nair out, i think it would be better to wd out and try to grab cuz it leads to a grab and much more potential damage.
after u grab, there are alot of techchase variations, i generally just look for in place tech first and try to regrab, then jab on reaction on missed techs and charge an usmash on the forced getup, if they roll away boost grab on reaction. eventually dash attack around 50 to combo, that is the standard broken techchase.
useful variations, utilt covers nontech+ tech in place generally to regrab, usmash can cover more but its weird and i find MYSELF getting grabbed if i mistimed it so i dont fux with the usmash unless i jabbed to force a getup first, Needles can also force said getup if they are just chilling there. if u feel u r a little late just dsmash to punish their sidestep, or wavedash utilt is another lil trick i do if im late to keep up pressure.
so recap, be aggresive, when they do manage to trap u in shield, know your options inside out, tech chase to death
o ya, gimps lol, if u have a lead u can metaknight camp the ledge
lol im bored
