I'm surprised. I thought Falco was gonna drop 3-4 spots in tier.

So did I, but apprently they think that Falco is still up there. Too bad we dont' have many tourney results to show for it <_<

If Falco had dropped, it would have been entirely due to his lackluster tournament results. I've always been of the opinion that that's not what tier lists are about, nor should they be.

As a character, Falco is fundamentally amazing and definitely better than the characters who are below him on the tier list. He deserves his spot and to be completely honest I'm a little bit impressed with the SBR for recognizing that.

Wario also deserves his spot above Falco due largely to the efforts of people like Phantom and Fiction. Congrats to those guys are in order for real.

I thought Falco was going to drop more due to the bad tourney results. What shocks me even more is that Wario is the one that bumped him down.

He barely dropped at all.

All that matters to me is Falco > Marth

Lol @ tournament results. All you have to do is look at Falco's options, and you can see that he is clearly a top 5 character, tournament results aside.

Yeah as long as Falco beats DDD, somewhat beats Snake, beats Wario, beats Diddy, goes even with Metaknight, he's staying top 5.

Was NOT expecting Falco to be that high...he does have the potential for that spot though.

And Jon, just close up aerial. : D

I thought that falco would have fallen a bit more than that, but i never thought that Wario could EVER get a highter position than Falco.

i can see wario but not diddy. once u know how to play diddy, he's like falco. kills arent that easy. but i think falco can get combos better, so id take falco.

But I wonder if results will be any different. Falco will likely still be below the top 4 or even top 8 in most tourneys. Snake and MK will still dominate the tourney scene. And others such as IC, Wario, DDD, and Diddy will be the ones that fill in the top 4/8 spots.

(This is referring to major tourneys).

There still aren't many of us that go to tourneys still. Falco's seem to be species of bird that leaves only on the west coast of North America xD

Wario's higher cause good ones don't get grabbed, in example, like Fiction.

Only reason he's higher then us. x]

The reason is that he cannot get hit. Too much aerial mobility. I bet MK could do something like that, or at the very least pull a semi-air camp game. I would hate having to face an air campy MK as some characters x.x

His ground game is plain ghey, but his air game is to good.

And so would I lol.

Have you guys watched any of the Falco's vs M2K matches? More than half of it is him Dair'ing above them. That **** just looks annoying and hard as balls to get around.

To be honest I've never had any troubles with MK Dair camping. Maybe it's because Montreal doesn't have super pro MK player, but hey.

Shield it and fullhop Bair OoS. His Dair doesn't repeat itself that fast.


If you want to practice getting around it, hit up AiB and ask Umbreon to play. It's like, 95% of his game and he does it pretty good.

Front hitbox of Bair is surprisingly big. Just jump forward and C-Stick the Bair.

If he's actually far enough that it wouldn't hit, drop your shield and run away from some more Lasers. Or use Nair/Dair.

And finally, if you're really, really unhappy with the situation, IAP OoS to reset spacing.


I'm finding more and more that I really like playing Metaknights. They're so light, it's great. I just wish I could get on the %)(*&($^@!$*(^& ground.

Now why in the world are you going against the Falco credo. "He always prefers the AIR" Stay in the air >: (

Well at least its only -1, which isn't a big difference. Is he very close to Wario though?
