The Falcon Index thread

0Room · Jul 27, 2011

Welcome to the Captain Falcon index thread!

A project started by me on July 18th, 2011, this is a thread dedicated to keeping all of the information from that Captain Falcon forums alive.
As far as the actual thread goes:

This is a thread of indexed information, but it's also a Guide. If you need any help at all, I've tried to make things very easy to read by separating problem options into tabs. Everything is separated into characters, and the general tab into more basic folders [edgeguarding, stage positioning, di, etc]. I didn't save everything, but I saved everything that I felt was worth mentioning/talking about as far as match ups, captain falcon stuff, and playing this game in general.
If you need to copy individual links, you can rightclick+copy link location, or PM me and I can find it for you. I'm working on making this as easy as possible, so check back for that.

Post of the week!
Post of the week is a singular post that I feel needs the attention of everyone on the Falcon Boards. I'll try to keep it updated because I'm sorry if I don't.

This week our post comes from Magus, who describes how jab resets/any kind of forced get up works

Magus420 said:
I don't think I ever posted the details of how resets actually work.

If you are hit by an attack that does less than 7.00% while in the DownBound (bounce when you 1st hit the ground without teching) or DownWait (after the bounce when laying on the ground) actions you go into the DownDamage action during the knockback. This animation is 13 frames long (probably for all characters but I'm not positive).

If DownDamage ends while in the air you change actions to Fall (also canceling out any remaining hitstun you may have had), and you can jump/do whatever out of it or simply land on your feet if you touch the ground. This is very apparent on things like using a stale raptor boost or stale shine with Falco on a downed character, since the KB is powerful enough to send them far but is still able to do less than 7 dmg. They go flying upwards while in the fall animation and without hitstun.

A/S/DI upwards will help you get higher from the knockback and can be used to keep you in the air long enough for the animation to complete before landing and escape a reset. For whatever reason, you are allowed to A/S/DI non-tumble KBs with angles 0° or lower normally while in DownDamage. You normally can't A/SDI vertically or use any form of trajectory DI on them when on the ground.

If DownDamage ends while on the ground, however, you change actions to DownWait if you were still in hitstun or directly into DownStand if you were not. The former is what I would call an Option Tap Reset, and the latter an Optionless Tap Reset. If you are in DownWait you are forced to get up when hitstun ends, but you are also able to interrupt the animation with either a getup stand/roll/attack at any time before then.

For example, Fox's shine, Falco's laser, and Peach's jab 1 all have no knockback growth. The shine's KB is strong enough to stun all characters for 13+ frames, and so a reset will always be an OTR on all characters. The laser causes 12 or less stun on all characters and so the reset is always an OLTR. The jab causes 13+ stun for everyone that is Falco's weight or lighter and is an OTR on them, but 12 or less on everyone heavier and is an OLTR on those characters. For ones with KBG, Sheik's jab 1 and needles are an OLTR until they're around 40 or so depending on weight, and Jiggs' jab 1 is an OLTR until near 100 (really stupid).

tldr:

-The reset attack needs to do less than 7.00% damage
-They need to be back touching the ground after 13 frames of knockback. Because of this, A/S/DIing upwards will help you to escape a reset
-If hitstun is 12 frames or less they are forced into a stand getup only. If the stun is 13+ they have the option of standing, rolling, or attacking as their forced getup

Walt · Jul 27, 2011

You've already got commendations of thanks and good job in other threads but let me be the first in this thread to say: Thanks and good job dude, this collection of text is ****.

ETWIST51294 · Jul 27, 2011

Hey 0room.

You still haven't been through the G-reg thread. :troll:

Nakamaru · Jul 27, 2011

This is probably the best collection of character specific knowledge on any of the character forums. Very nice job.

Brookman · Jul 27, 2011

I had intended to do this sort of thing on the fox forum but . . . there have been more pressing things to tend to. I did attempt to enlist several regulars to help (take say, 50 pages each) maybe I'll try again this coming winter.

Hey 0room.

You still haven't been through the G-reg thread.

Check the very last posts in the general thread, you'll be proved wrong

Don't test me Etwist

I've been through the first few pages

All of the information is REALLY general and ironically also REALLY specific, that's why not a lot of it has been indexed
Meaning
They mostly talk about combos

Combos are ALWAYS a one time DI dependent specific thing
And therefore not something that needs to be indexed because it's something that works at certain times against certain people.

edit;
Thanks guys
I hope this gets stickied or something so that we don't lose it

In case something horrible ever happens
Here's a backup as of 8/10/11

Welcome to the Captain Falcon index thread!

A project started by me on July 18th, 2011, this is a thread dedicated to keeping all of the information from that Captain Falcon forums alive.
While an index certainly, it's definitely kind of a guide because I feel like you guys can read it and learn from it.

As far as the actual thread goes:

This is a thread of indexed information, but it's also a Guide. If you need any help at all, I've tried to make things very easy to read by separating problem options into tabs. Everything is separated into characters, and the general tab into more basic folders [edgeguarding, stage positioning, di, etc]. I didn't save everything, but I saved everything that I felt was worth mentioning/talking about as far as match ups, captain falcon stuff, and playing this game in general.

If you need to copy individual links, you can rightclick+copy link location, or PM me and I can find it for you. I'm working on making this as easy as possible, so check back for that.

Post of the week!
Post of the week is a singular post that I feel needs the attention of everyone on the Falcon Boards. I'll try to keep it updated because I'm sorry if I don't.

This week our post comes from Magus, who details why Falcon totally has the ability to wreck peach:

Magus420 said:
If Peach DIs the d-throw in at 0% they can just hold up against a SH n-air to avoid the 2nd hit without even needing to SDI it. It's the type of situation that's great for the FJ or instant DJ to FF n-air I was talking about before though. Even if they SDI the 1st kick it'll still get the 2nd hit if you do it right.

Off a grab at like 0-10ish, if they DI the FJ-FF/IDJ-FF n-air low you can FJ double u-air, and if they DI the n-air high you can FJ double u-air or if they were at almost 0 when you grabbed you could also SHFFL u-air to FJ double u-air. When she's at around 20+% she can't n-air between the u-airs in a FJ double u-air, and d-throw->FJ/IDJ FF n-air gets her to that percent and in the right position for it when they DI the throw high at very low damage.

________ DI N-Air High -> FJ Dbl U-Air ________ DI N-Air High -> SHFFL U-Air -> FJ Dbl U-Air

________ DI N-Air Low -> FJ Dbl U-Air

___________ U-Air -> No Hitstun

Grab on Peach below 15%
You can try to regrab if they DI the throw low until like 30/40ish, though it's not entirely guaranteed and it's possible to DJ/wiggle to airdodge away to escape if they DI it low enough.

If they DI to be just above regrab height you can space a SH n-air since it has more vertical range at his feet, but if they SDI it up (holding up doesn't work) they'll still be able to avoid the 2nd hit. If they do this I don't think you can really do any good followups on the throw at very low damage that lead into more things besides maybe weird stuff like a pivot b-air, or IDJ d-air over her into a techchase (you go over n-air range). If you try to FJ/IDJ FF n-air the 1st kick will go over them and miss so you can't use that.

An u-air off a d-throw at 0% at best has you getting out of lcancel lag at the same time she gets out of stun (gif at the bottom), so you'd need to space it and then try to work around what she does afterwards to get something else in. If she DI's the u-air low off a grab at around like 10 or so you should be to get a JC grab off, though if she DI's the u-air high you can't hit her.

Grab on Peach after 15%
U-air actually has some stun at this point so out of the throw you can start to u-air->regrab/FJ dbl u-air, or straight FJ dbl u-air depending on DI. Don't bother with n-air since if they DI it high at this damage you won't get as much off it as you would an u-air.

Juggleguy · Jul 27, 2011

Very nice.

I think it'd be better if the index on each character/matchup had its own collapse box.

0Room · Jul 27, 2011

I mean it doesn't matter to me because when I edit it it's all one big mass anyway

Also, do you guys like the whole "post of the week" thing?
and do you think I should go through and highlight the links that I think are really good, to draw attention to them?

Mokumo · Jul 27, 2011

Wow good job bro that's some dedication!

ETWIST51294 · Jul 27, 2011

lol at the BigD post in your sig.

erbanez · Jul 28, 2011

Nicely done, props acquired (+258 EXP)

Roneblaster · Jul 28, 2011

I love it.

i like the pick/post of the week idea.

keep a box at the bottom for a list/collection of each post/pic of the week.

how do u request sticky? its not under thread tools.

ETWIST51294 · Jul 28, 2011

Just turn me into a mod because Bobs never here.

0Room · Jul 29, 2011

Sounds cool
I would love to see this stickied, I would hate to lose it.
That would kind of defeat the entire purpose of this thread.

edit;
All of the general stuff has been separated into specific folders for easier viewing

erbanez · Jul 29, 2011

You forgot to add a link of the captain saying:

(see signature)

Windrose · Jul 29, 2011

I think ETWIST would be a fair mod for the falcon boards...he's also very active. I'd trust wenbobular also but i think he's a fox main now. 0Room would definitely be the best choice because he goes through the threads inside out on the falcon boards. But NUMBER ONE choice would be that Windrose guy. He's well learned, and multi cultural. 1. He's Canadian so you know he's trustworthy and nice and w/e but 2. he's also asian so you know he's good at farming rice.

0Room · Jul 30, 2011

I'm not sure what that has to do with being a mod but okay Windrose

Brookman · Jul 31, 2011

lol @ windrose's rice comment.

New post of the week, this time by Gregory-Regulate

Walt · Aug 1, 2011

Post of the week

Walt · Aug 1, 2011

That was this weeks post of the week

get at me

KneeJustice · Aug 1, 2011

Great job! Lots of Falcon knowledge being dusted off!

The only constructive criticism I have for you is to maybe go through each section and add a number (eg: 1), 2), 3) etc) before each link so that it is easier to remember which link you just read and which link is the next in the sequence.

Thanks a lot!

Edit: Maybe also give the name of the person quoted, if it isn't too much to ask, and perhaps the date. Just suggestions to help organize it better.

So, for example:

1) Scar, 1/1/11, [link]
2) G-reg, 2/2/11, [link]

etc

0Room · Aug 1, 2011

Oh god lol more work
Yeah I mean that makes sense
I'll work on it tomorrow, thanks for the critiques and stuff

I like knowing new ways to make this more readable.

Raidex · Aug 4, 2011

Really helpful stuff. Could really help Falcon newcomers, if there are some, such as myself.

Good job, Room.

0Room · Aug 5, 2011

Posts were indexed by number as requested, may add authors but not right now

The biggest problems I see right now is, if you copy and paste just the links from this page, they don't work because of smashboards auto-condensing
Does anyone have a solution for this? I don't think quoting them directly into this page would be a good idea, but I want you to have an easy ability to select things without clicking each and every link

Windrose · Aug 6, 2011

Put a note saying if they want to copy the link they need to right click copy link source?

0Room · Aug 6, 2011

Good stuff windrose
Now we just need to find a way to copy multiple links

Deleted member · Aug 6, 2011

u should add a tiny footnote next to each link that describes the info in each link

looking through specific advice and finding 50 billion links next to something is kinda daunting

0Room · Aug 6, 2011

Yeah it's just then the obscene amount of information next to each link makes it just as daunting
I'm trying to figure out what's the best middle ground. Maybe a linked url

About tech chasing off a DI away no tech

But that get difficult and messy and stuff

And that still doesn't really solve the overall problem of if you want to copy it for something else
You can't save multiple links

Windrose · Aug 6, 2011

you'd have to open up a notepad or something and paste them all in there to form a list and then re paste it into another post if you wanted to show someone :S or open up two tabs or something.

0Room · Aug 6, 2011

Yeah I'm pretty sure it's just not possible for people other than me, who can edit->copy->paste

edit
also
I'm working on renaming all of the links so that you can see what the link is about

All I've gotten so far is the Ganon folder, so look at that and see if that's what you guys are looking for.
It's gonna take a long *** time so

Windrose · Aug 7, 2011

Amazing format. loved the commenting

0Room · Aug 7, 2011

The commenting?

FabulousGeorge · Aug 7, 2011

This is incredible... so helpful. I'm loving the new format.

Why isn't this stickied?

I'm with Fabulous and Windrose, amazing job yet again, Room.

I'm working on getting that done, I've sent a few messages but we have very lax [read: busy] moderators here on the falcon boards

We may need a new one, but as for now I'm working on one thing at a time lol
Glad you like the new format, it takes a lot of work lol

My next project will be separating them

for example
Spacies

Offensive tips
[links]
[links]
[links]

Defensive
[links]
[links]

Edgeguarding
[links]

recovery
[links]

etc

Raidex · Aug 7, 2011

Yeah I was also thinking about separating them, but you posted it before me. It'll make it even more neat and organized.

Walt · Aug 8, 2011

Hah! Stupid bull**** prevails again!

I will take over the duty of making posts of the week in lieu of there being a legit one

0Room · Aug 8, 2011

Lol alright
