The Captain Falcon Q&A Thread

[Elyssa Xey Hexen]

I recall raptor boost simply killing pikmin the moment it got to it.

 

[Zeallyx]

Does Falcon Kick or Raptor Boost bypass Olimar's grab?

Raptor boost does not.

Falcon kick does, but gets slowed down by the contact

if I recall correctly.

 

[Lionman]

Anyways if you try to Falcon kick him he will **** your butt with everything he has

 

[MARLX]

What is CF's momentom cancel. (Horizantel and vertical).

 

[Zeallyx]

What is CF's momentom cancel. (Horizantel and vertical).

Uair, mainly

Maybe some Bair

 

[teluoborg]

Vertical is Dair,
Horizontal and diagonal is Uair/Bair to second jump.

 

[Elyssa Xey Hexen]

1) Don't you guys have a video cache that is not dubbed combo videos? I can find a plethora of combo videos, but I cannot find any regular falcon matches.
2) Anyone else agree that Dair seems pretty safe on shield? I've been trying to use it more and it seems to work fairly well. The shield push with falcon's traction seems to make it pretty hard to punish.

Char specific. Those are the videos I got. Haven't updated it though.


Just youtube Ally Falcon. I have some older 1v1s on my channel, but 90% of them are wifi.

 

[Psychoace]

I've been using dair for a while now, after seeing Ally use it. Some characters can punish easier than others though.

Ledge canceled falcon kick

Believe it.

Dash Dance! :D

Moar like trip dance

I cannot sleep.

Mixing up ground vs air approaches.
Running/Walking out of attack range.
Feints.
Pretty much universal stuff.

dThrow->dTaunt

Appeal for no reason. Invokes taunts.

Ledge canceled falcon kick
Believe it.

I won't believe it. Isn't the start of BF with the kick ledge canceled on the other platform?

Moar like trip dance

I've managed to cover SV back and forth in one complete circuit once before tripping. Never duplicated again though :/

If you memorize the placement from which the FK ledge cancels (without hitting the opponent) it's easy to mix into your game. And it's paid off, for me at least.

As it's based on luck it's best to avoid as much as possible. The occasional dash dance mindgame is ok, but just don't unnecissarily foxtrot and ****

 

[Yung Mei]

i can vouch for the ledge canceled falcon kick

i ledge canceled it once into a second falcon kick

everyone **** their pants and i got a stage spike




kawaii uguu~

 

[UzakiuzuG]

Has the brawl scene died yet? Anyone know when this new super smash bros game is coming out for the wii u?

 

[teluoborg]

[Kuro~]

I'd be interested... what is the probability of tripping every time you dash? This is probably common knowledge, but I haven't found it.

That's not that bad! I bet dash dancing occasionally against certain characters could mess up their approach and trigger a punishable grab or aerial.

This is undoubtedly been thought of before... -.-", so maybe it's just not worth it? In my experience, including one or two of these "feints" ended in favorable results. Then of course, I don't have the hardest opponents. I'm trying to save up for a capture card so I can get my falcon critiqued!

But yeah, has anyone else added this to their game and did it help? If not, why not try? (unless you're facing MK, chaingrabber, or at high damage.)

 

[Psychoace]

Dash dancing is still legit, just not as legit especially with pivot grabbing I bait that **** out all the time. iirc you won't trip if you buffer a dash from a jump, just fyi to reduce that tripping bull**** that seems to plague falcon.

Woah! That's pretty sweet. I'll have to try that out. Thanks!

adding dash dancing? all the time


also, i can record for you if you want :V

 

[Pktck]

Really? Wow, that'd be great... but don't I need to film it, attach it my wii to my computer, get dazzle, or something else?

 

[Yung Mei]

nnah, just plug in your sd to your cpu, then send the rp file(s)

 

[Pktck]

Right. I'll see what I can do.

 

[janne_837]

I have some questions about some stuff in Lordhelmets' CF Tech/Trick Video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiU1yevyaO0). Would be great if you could explain me each of them.

0:10-0:12 Sliding Jabs and this sexy sliding taunt.
1:05-1:08 How does he get into his shield that fast?
1:39-1:43 Omg Moonwalk? Whats that and how I can do this?
1:48-1:51 Looks like a reversed hyphen smash lol

 

[Psychoace]

1. It's probably just timing the momentum on the return dash followed by the jab or taunt.
2. While your running keep holding forward while you shield.
3.

You have to press the stick like halfway to the max, just enough so Falcon doesn't stop running. If you do it right you can almost run on place if you do it right after the standing dash (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiU1yevyaO0#t=1m41).

4. It is.

 

[teluoborg]

1.39-1.43 is actually the same as sliding jabs, you're just using the momentum of the pivot to dash in place, what I meant in the quote of psychoace is that if you hold the stck slightly forward you can start running veeeeeeery slowly after the dash. Like 1 step/second.

I started to use it years ago, im not saying i discovered it but its my signature move

 

[Psychoace]

Well either way I think it will be very helpful on mix ups. I think I have a decent understanding on the process of it, but I still lack the execution of it for the most part.
