Did he Warlock kick into it? haha! Playing falcon as falcon should be played!
Yesss! I wasnt sure if he was going to recover high or recover low. I thought I hit him out of his jump when I got him with Falcon Dive. (Not sure what the name is called lol) Good thing I guessed right lol

A lot of the time, it seemed like you'd just throw out moves and hope they hit, like D-smashes (which are generally pretty bad) or Nairs. I would advise trying to find all the best uses for all of Falcon's moves so you can know what to mix up, and what to use in what situations and optimize your gameplay. I also noticed you virtually never use Bair, which is one of Falcon's best moves, it's an incredible spacing tool, early combo starter, and kill move. You also tend to not follow up on D-throws, it's a great move that while it won't always lead to combos, it at the very least sets up a powerful frame trap at all but very high percents, and so you don't need to try and make it combo, just force them to airdodge or jump out of it with an U-air, and you'll get tons of followup opportunities from that bnb setup.

While not related to your gameplay that much, every Falcon needs to really master Fox trots, dashdancing, and perfect pivots, Falcon's speed is arguably his best asset, and really being able to have lots of sophisticated movement options should really exacerbate the power of Falcon's speed to incredible heights.
what should falcon use a perfect pivot for??

Perfect pivots mainly serve 2 purposes, one is to use them to make tiny adjustments in the macro spacing game against charcaters that like to move a lot while harassing you with burst options (Like Sheik, Pika, or Jiggs), or as a way to use regular attacks out of a foxtrot, such as fox trotting towards someone, doing a singular dash dance, and then Perfect Pivoting so that you can do a jab facing forward as an approach option.

Sorry about the crappy 3ds quality vid. This was me as Falcon in teams FG, with the highest up-air I've ever landed (due to a footstool). Very satisfying KO.

This set. This Sonic.
I felt so powerless throughout the matches. I couldn't grab him, couldn't punish anything, couldn't get an upper hand during the neutral, couldn't recover decently, and I even ragequitted the first match at the second stock because I was used to a 2-stock ruleset lol. By the time he got the advantage in the second game, my mind had already been destroyed. Gotta work on mindset and play smarter, not harder. It'd be very useful to get a few tips for Sonic and my overall gameplay, though.

This MU seems to be very painful.
I'm no expert, but I think when you kept trying to meteor smash him off the edge you would've been better off using a bair since the hitbox lasts longerr and it would've hit him to the bottom of the stage for a possible stage spike. I used to use the dair all the time but people started slipping under the stage and I think bair has been handling it better for me.

Went to SAM3 recently along with @UltimateRazer (who goes by GrimTurtle now), arguably a top CF player. Took 4th out of 58 entrants, Grim took 3rd. A few big names were there also such as Megafox, Trela, Espy, K Prime, Denti, and a few others. Link to the results thread below. I'll be posting videos from both of us.

Results thread: http://smashboards.com/threads/sam3-results-4-4-15-san-antonio-tx-58-entrants.397722/

AvoiD (Falcon) vs. GrimTurtle (Falcon/Fox) [Winners Quarters]
AvoiD (Falcon) vs. Denti (Diddy) [Winners Semis]
AvoiD (Falcon) vs. Espy (Little Mac) [Losers Quarters]
AvoiD (Falcon) vs. GrimTurtle (Falcon) [Losers Semis]

GrimTurtle (Falcon) vs. K Prime (Pikachu) [Losers Bracket]
GrimTurtle (Falcon) vs. Trela (Robin) [Losers Quarters]
GrimTurtle (Falcon) vs. Denti (Diddy) [Losers Finals]

Some matches weren't recorded, but I also beat Espy's Sonic 2-0 in Winner's bracket, along with Sassy's ROB (one of Austin's top players) 2-0 as well. Fun tournament.

Here are some vids of me from Georgia's first smash Wii U tournament. Some of the vids start in the middle of matches.

Winner's Finals vs Shano's Toon Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNXQMfj-xkc&list=UUFJ48g9BcsNm8P7nWsz-97Q
Grand Finals vs Scatt's Megaman: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1yi7WPPQjY&list=UUFJ48g9BcsNm8P7nWsz-97Q&index=1

Any advice or tips for my Falcon?
i see you like to use extended dash dancing. i have a question for you. When are you supposed to use extended dash dancing in the neutral? close to your opponent?? far away from your opponent?? i know how to do it i just dont know when to use it

I hope some people will be able to help me. This is my captain falcon and felt like I struggled in this one.

Here are two vids of me from an awesome biweekly smash tourney in Georgia, only top 3 was recorded since Guilty Gear had it's turn with streaming, and only finished when top 3 was left :p Winner's Finals is especially entertaining!
Winner's Finals vs Player-1's Diddy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihhYxT4_CKs
Grand Finals vs Player-1's Diddy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTc6RW5ITxI
When you're doing your fox trots and all, how do you turn around without going into the turnaround animation?

The big thing I noticed was that WFT used the volleyball /every/ time she was right offstage, and you never worked with it, a falling uptilt (a little dangerous bc the meteor hitbox of WFT) or jumping over her before she started for a dair or bair would've put you in a good place (you did try dair a couple times, but she had already finished the headbutt at 2:48 i thought you had her). She also used the attack getup 4/5 times, so you could space yourself for a d-tilt or sheild grab.

Late, but thanks for those replays, AvoiD. A ton of very valuable smart Falcon play in there that I think everyone can learn from here.

You guys will probably enjoy 1:05 into this one. I am not a Captain Falcon main, but when my friend picked him I just had to too. I'm the pink one.

I'm not a Falcon main by any means, I just like playing him for fun.

This is a game between a teammate and myself:

Also, bonus little clip I got:

https://youtu.be/w0ktSiiq75Q

Any comments?
I suggest using b-air instead of stop at low percents. The opponent doesn't really go anywhere making it really easy to punish you. b-air gives you the space you need to get out quick. Also, when facing Ness, try to gimp as much as possible. Stomp spike is incredibly easy against him when he's off stage instead of charging up-smash at the ledge. Other than that you're a really good Falcon dude, especially since he's not even your main. :kirby:

Thanks for the tip and compliment! :) I will make sure to Bair more.

Took 2nd out of 27 in singles at a small local Tuesday, 1st in dubz. Results thread: http://smashboards.com/threads/cypr...-singles-9-teams-new-faces-and-mewtwo.400146/

Winner's Semi-finals vs. Trela's Mewtwo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=py_ctWxVV-I
Winner's Finals vs. Karna's Sheik: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKAoiE8QRXI

Grand Finals vs. Karna's Sheik: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lhGtl-gaVw

Advice/critique appreciated. Doubles vids are uploaded on the same channel. Realized the overuse of fsmashes. Sheik is a crazy matchup for CF smh.

Would love some input on these games, I couldn't seem to stop getting grabbed. later on he played mario and I just spot dodged everything, but when he would shield a dash attack it just ended in him shield grabbing me on the receiving end of a 50% combo. Any tips on escaping from mario's down throw to u-tilt?

My advice probably won't be the best, but I noticed that a lot of those grabs came from either:
1)You doing a laggy move like f-smash
2)You holding shield too long when he initiated an approach.
You seemed to fix the last one a little towards the end of the match, but you never really fixed the first one. Try to reserve moves like that for reads.

As for the Mario u-tilt combo, since Falcon's a fast faller I believe you can just DI down and shield/roll to get out.
