Something I just noticed about Falcon

[DreDay]

If you falcon punch in the air while holding up you get a small boost x___x

W00t man...W00t

Holding down makes you go down too. Same as Puff's pound, it seems. Nice find.

 

[Blackadder]

Awsome!
Now, instead of using UP B, I can simply pull out a Falcon punch!
I commend you Dreday. This is a breakthrough in Smash physics. XD

Seriously though, this isn't that great.

Well it can help you giving a little bit more horizontal/vertical distance during recovery, ever heard of djump -> fpunch -> upb?

 

[SuPeRbOoM]

I always do this when I recover

 

[malva00]

it's almost as good as uair and nair in the same short jump xD

I for one have never seen that. That sounds like **** incarnate.

 

[kuenzel]

interesting... i also occasionally see ppl do a falcon kick, then jump, then punch then recovery. is a falcon KICK really that practical? unless ure really high up, i think it makes u worse off... whats the best order of moves to maximize recovery?

 

[Volrec]

It's doublejump -> falcon punch -> up b

 

[Vex Kasrani]

O wow, I didnt notice this before, even thou its not that useful thnx for posting this,

 

[M3tr01D]

people do falcon kick cause they forget this is n64 version and they aren't going to get a 2nd jump back.

I do the falcon kick when im like up in the sky and far to the left/right off the stage. Gives a slight horizonal direction distance thingy ^^

 

[Thino]

but when u use falcon kick u better not use falcon punch after that

 

[Dylan_Tnga]

lol unless you're an emo. XD

I falcon kick recovery every now and then, when I know itll work and Im not gonna get punished for it. Otherwise I do the FP recovery and hope to god I can do some sort of miracle DI to escape being edgeguarded.

Falcon is just too easy to kill... but he kills with such ease

Happened to me when I just got on kaillera a few months ago, since I mostly play melee XD

 

[M3tr01D]

I've done it my fair share of times ^^

 

[Frogles]

woah snapz i didnt know about that

why didnt yo u tell me dre you starstarstarstar

 

[JaimeHR]

Because that was TOP Secret Material for you Yep Frogles xP

 

[AlexBarry]

I didn't know until I got on kaillera and saw EVERYONE do it.

I actually never tested it but I just started doing it anyway.

 

[Dylan_Tnga]

question, is this part of what makes fthrow - falcon punch work (on certain chars, certain percentages) ??

Because that's one thing I never do and id like to throw it into my falcon vs fox game. I really suck at hitting with the FP, and usually just go for uairs at higher percentages, sh fairs at lower ones to whatever works according to his DI.

you have to adjust accordingly. the percents that work for this combo are pretty specific, and if you add a slight downward movement or a slight upward movement, you'll see that sometimes you can hit that combo at different percents. dylan, try hitting the B button for falcon punch immediately after you lift off from the ground. With this in mind you'll have to release the analog stick asap so just revert it back to neutral when you jump and hit the b button. Hopefully you wont do what I do sometimes and screw up and do upB instead

 

[Umbrasquall]

It's better to use the c-button to jump after throwing with Falcon.

You also need to double jump quickly at higher percentages and then punch (Like a DJC but not, it's better to hit the same c-button twice in this case). This way you can Falcon punch after a throw at about 80% if your opponent is falcon. 60% if fox.

 

[SuPeRbOoM]

button slide for double jump lmao

 

[Umbrasquall]

The lag makes me miss the 2nd jump if I slide lol.

^^ don't listen to him he's a big n00b

that's not true

 

[C@sH Mooney]

if he says it then you know its true

Isai>all

 

[SuPeRbOoM]

I use C button cuz im lazy, but control stick is teh sex

C button is a shorter high jump than the analog stick. and sh for that matter

 

[cmasterchoe]

my new addiction is throw -FP-ing it makes me want to rip off my shirt and beat my chest and let out a primal roar. but yeah, i prefer c-button sliding, for lower percentages you have to almost immediately jump and falcon punch, but if they are at slightly higher percentages, do an initial dash first, that way you'll cover more horizontal ground (double jumping into falcon punch tends to be slower IMO).

 

[Umbrasquall]

that's not true

I was referring f-throw and punch at that point. I find that if I use the stick to jump the delay makes you do a up-b instead of falcon punch a lot of the time.

Otherwise I mainly use the stick to jump after throwing, usually for u-airs. I use c-button for f-air, etc. Which way do you do it malva?

you shouldnt do upb if you revert the analog stick back to neutral

Isai said it again

It can't be true

Depends on if you're playing a falcon expert, he can be a pain in the @$$ if you're not careful, I've seen it happen on more than one occasion and I just find it hilairious

 

[omfgomfg]

oh.. ohh...
nintendude probably knew this some time ago

 

[Mistle]

Wow, I can't believe I never knew this. Not very helpful in battle I guess, but still falcontastic.

false - even a falcon 'expert' can be killed easily

 

[AlexBarry]

Is this whole forum based off people going back and forth adding technicalities?
TECHNICALLY Moving in the air is DI
TECHNICALLY a Falcon expert can be killed easy
TECHNICALLY contribute some coherent thoughts to a thread please.
