You know those falcos that just spam lasers and then phantasm away, making sure that they are very careful about what they're doing? I'm trying to fight one, and its annoying as hell. I can catch his phantasms with the whorenado every now and then but its not enough to rack up damage. I'm not allowed to use the akuma approach to get past the lasers, and whenever I shuttle loop over them or glide, or jump w/e he always full hops lasers and then goes short hop double lasers. What the hell do I do? All he does is phantasm and laser and then just KO's me.

You're calling a spammy character queer? You? A Meta Knight player?

:laugh:

Seriously, lasers aren't so tough to get past. Just dash and airdodge. Sheild responsibly and punish with a grab or ftilt. As for the phantasm, just dash and sheild. Use platforms if possible.

I'm using him to counter all my tough matchups, AKA olimar.

air dodge? dude, MK should be giving falco more trouble than falco is to MK. I really don't see a problem since you already see what his tactic is, you just have to try to time your dodges. there's a rythm to his SHDL and FHL.

Get past the lasers, punish the phantasms. It's not like it's a teleport move where you can't hit him. It's fairly easy to knock him out of, I think (I haven't tested, but most moves seem to be able to hit Falco out of his phantasm) if timed right every single one of MK's moves can knock him out of it. The easiest is probably jab (it just creates a wall of sword around you, and outprioritizes Falco's phantasm, so it should stop him), though I haven't tested if it works.

I know that you can hit him out with an aerial, and Mach Tornado is good too.

Getting past the lasers shouldn't be too difficult. You can jump over them and approach Falco from the sky (dair, glide attack). You can dash to shield, dash to SH airdodge, you can jump over low lasers and duck under high ones.. be creative.

All right, the main arsenal of Falcos game is his grab. So try to avoid that. This is how.

When he is in hi shield, do dairs(DON'T LAND.) when you see his sheild get smaller, about small enough that you can see the top of his head. Do a tornado, when he dodges do a tornado. Those will help you out a lot.


Also, I like using the infinite cape thing to approach against Falco :)

lol I love how he said the akuma approach :p i would be like ghosting screw you and your lazers :p peace ;) but seriously try air dodging and gradually moving towards him. If that fails well try to rush him. At the start and don't allow him to get distance.
