I can't do it. Stomp on shield and knee to jab is too good. Down throw or up air into anything is stupid. I hate it. halppppp

Late knee to jab is safe, but you can buffer jump away or just cc the jab. Remember falcons grab range when stationary isnt that great, he needs a running start to get much distance on his grab

Would Up-B out of shield help against stomp on shield? I mean, Falcon isn't supposed to have great pressure or anything, but I'm not a Samus main so please correct me if I'm wrong. In general Up-B OoS is quite strong.

Assuming it's timed correctly, falcon's dair is safe on shield by a few frames, so upB out of shield isn't guaranteed. There's also an issue of spacing in most cases, so it's often not a great punish. If the falcon tries for a grab though, you should be able to beat it out every time with upB.

TILT! TILT! TILT!

That's what I learned against my MU against the Falcons. Our smashes are so punishable with his quick SH knees it should only be reserved for punishment.

And bomb....because bomb.
