The unofficial sequel to "Falcon is the best character in the game". <3 Cort
Edit 09/08/09: I think I'll convert this into a thread of highly situational, not very efficient Falcon techniques.
1: upB connects even when the opponent is on the ground.
2: Aerial Falcon Kick knocks the opponent down at 0%. Leads into an upB if they don't tech or anything.
3: Edgecancelled bairs to edge hogs are a good mindgame. You hit them if they miss the sweetspot, you grab the edge if they try to sweetspot because they see you bairing the edge.
4: upB is decent for platform techchasing. It's a minimally efficient way to attack people who get up-shield to try to prevent platform techchase aerials.
5: If you dropzone, it means you grabbed them at the edge. Instead, try to edge cancel a knee into another knee or a stomp.
6: When you grab the edge, you can release and uair and just barely recover to grabbing the edge. The timing is tough. It's a useful gimp against spacies when they are close to the edge. You can also use it to hit opponents as they upB through the edge.
7: Falcon Kick clanks with Marth's dtilt and even his fsmash sometimes. You end up right in range to grab or gentleman him.
8: Retreating edgecancelled stomps to uairs or bairs (depending on which way you are facing) are rapeeeeee. People have a habit of trying to punish the lag in stomps, so edgecancelling leaves a nice little surprise to their face.
9: Full jump stomps can catch the head of shffl happy opponents.
10. Right when you initiate your upB, there is a small window where you can make your upB turn the other way. If your reflexes are good enough, you can change your mind to upB away if you think it won't connect.
11. Instead of running at someone and shffl kneeing them, run and short hop at them. upB at point blank range at their shield when they were expecting an aerial. Only follow-up-able at around 100% when they are at the edge.
12. Raptor boost is awesome when it doesn't hit your opponent on YS, Brinstar, and Green Greens. When you hit the the stage obstacle, the hitbox is created. Try to get your opponent to jump into the flames instead of getting ***** by Fox's nair outprioritizing the preflame dash.
13. When people land on Randall and see you coming at them, they will generally shield. upB is a punish when you're in the air approaching them.
14. When Sheik is starting upB, do it and the same time as her right next to her. You will catch her during her vulnerable frames if you aim it right. Good only if she doesn't edgetech.
15. In Falcon dittos, an upward forward tilt outprioritizes nair.
16. The blocks on Green Greens can cancel aerial Falcon Kicks.
17. Sometimes the best option against a Peach ****** you offstage is to just kamikaze Raptor Boost her.
