When playing a semi-serious match and not just trying to show off and show people yo moves should i adopt the wario style and just jump and dodge around and punish openings? I do find this play style boring but i get a lot of crap for playing falcon serious and I'm wondering if this is the best play style for falcon cause it seems this works the best for me.

What are some ways to land the Knee? Are there any uses for it, or is it a plain bad move? What should a Falcon do when someone short hop attacks your shield and ends up above you?

The knee is a bad move, only uses are flub knee to gimp offstage (sometimes it can shieldstab too) and sweet knee to punish great amount of lag (like D3's up B).

Oh and sometimes Jab>jab>SHFF knee works. But only sommetimes.

And for what to do when someone SH aerials you it depends on the time you have before he can hit you again :
Long time = up B OOS
Medium time = SH Uair OOS
Short time = runaway
Very short time = stay in shield.

So it's matchup and aerial dependant.

Hello, everyone, I noticed many styles and colorful MBT shoes gradually appearing in the street. Then I search it on Google, I found MBT shoe is very useful for our health. MBT shoes can shape your body and active your muscles, also can help you to lose weight. So how to benefit them? In my opinion, buying cheap MBT shoes and discount MBT shoes is the best choice to enjoy MBTs. Almost everyone choose buying MBT discount online with free shipping, that is worthy, strongly recommended. All in all, in MBT sale store, buying MBT discount shoes is perfect way to enjoy benefits and make you and all your friends around you healthier. Action now.

Well, you see sir, people around here actually hook car batteries to their nipples while wearing metal clad boots, spandex and a helmet in order to look stylish and stay healthy.

ACTION NOW!

Seriously speaking, C Falcons DACUS is pretty good imo. ive been using it in matches for the last 4 days, and its basically hit and killed more often than his Hyphen smash.

Falcon DACUS = Hyphen Smash - Range

or something

Falcon's Hyphen Smash can't be done out of a shield or an initial dash, bro. Plus it has a habit of occasionally missing the second hit because he goes too fast. The DACUS's less range means that it has a better chance of connecting both hits, and also a better chance of connecting the first hit since it can be done from a stand still and out of shield.

Hyphen smash can be done out of initial dash, actually changing the timing between dash and Usmash changes the distance you slide. Bro.
Of course hyphen smash can't be done OOS, but neither can DACUS (only JC Usmash can). Unless you're talking about shielddrop > usmash, then both are possible.

For the "hitting with first hit but missing with second" part, it's called aiming. It's not that difficult to time your hyphen so only the second hit lands.

And really, you don't want to land both hits. The first hit of Usmash is so easy to SDI it's not even funny.

So Hyphen smash > Dacus.

in most cases i would prefer DACUS over hyphen smash anyday

but not with falcon

i don't really like either that much unless i want to break into someones bad zone really fast.

in that case, hyphen smash does a good job spacing both hits away from eachother making the overall hitbox larger and that provides a cover over you as you head in

My question here pertains to the Pit v CF matchup. I am looking for some good CF players who hopefully are not completely biased and have some Pit experience.

Long story short: This is so I can finally complete all of Pit's matchups with detail and some precision. I have been storing all the matchups in a document where I can update em at will.
So the question is who are those Falcon players who could help me out with the matchup?

You can get me on AIM, MSN or PM around here if you are willing to help me out, and I'll appreciate the help.

And that's the biased trash I am not looking for. I want actual details on the matchup, and not no 1-line stuff.

And this tells me bout the matchup in details HOW? Practically nothing. This is why I prefer smarter and less-biased ppl for these type of discussions, and now more specifically, not from ppl like you. Then again, I couldn't rely on Falcon players mostly for help because of this, and sorry for the stereotype, but prove me wrong.

There's a difference between knowledge and biasedness, and your info fails and is rejected from what I want. Why am i even arguing with such an annoyance?
