Only saw the Snake vid, but what Xonar said lulz. The Snake is good, but doesn't know how to recover after the spike.

Also, you can't play one style against Snake. Snake's camping game beats Falco's. You basically have to mix it up to win. Gotta be aggro, and defensive.

You tried going for the grab way to much, which most the time you got punished for it. Let it come to you, when you get the chance, go for it, don't force it though. You relied on it for basically winning you the game. Space your moves. Reflector, Jab, Ftilt and Uptilt are good in this matchup. Be careful for jab though, mixing it up with different moves, as a Snake can DI out of it and Ftilt.

Phantasms are useful. Just don't do it into a nade/mind/c4.

And recover wisely. :)

Why didnt you chaingrab him.

Grounded lasers are cewl when fox does his SHTL tricksy, his speed is better when firing shlasers so don't hesitate if you see him jump, watch his jump habits, dont use more then 1 grounded.
ur not using phantasm as an attack, why not?
bair is good anti air, use it more from the side against foxs aerials we have more range and acceleration
if ur in killing percent dont jump, you just set urself up for the usmash, just stay in ur shield/on the ledge against lasers etc.
he sucks at dair usmash lol why dsmash D:
****** couldve killed you 10000 times at 2:00 already
approaching with shads is gay
more shield
more shield
moooore shieeeld
youre way to unsafe, set yourself up, get baited easily, and just take stupid risks/try to do stupid things without reward
same story, way to risky, you suck against snakes camping,
TKD recovered wrong too but too bad you didnt get him

mehsmehs kuro told you stuff about snake alreadys

I think AC needs to learn to recover after a CG-spike.
i thought my c4 was still on the stage, it exploded by itself but i didnt notice. besides i have EXTREME matchup johns.


btw you go for grabs way too often tkd being fox obviously knows this and spaces with bair and is extremely careful about it. ftilt is good but sometimes you use it too much or you dont space it properly. as for camping..just watch the first 2 minutes or so unless you dont have anything to do.

@xonar: dair to dsmash always works, while dair to usmash only works under certain conditions.

btw dont listen to xonar about the shielding part, unless you want t o take 35~% or get setup/bad positioning really often.

I know dair usmash conditions, and I know when he could've used it.

If you position yourself correctly with your shield it's safe. Fox isn't really the epitome of shield safeness, and honestly, on killing percentages you pretty much get set up for the kill with every move fox has that isn't a throw.
