You think that's good? I found this one better. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1Zjv5grfVA
I've heard from multiple reliable sources that captain falcon will be broken, and we'll have to tone down a specific aspect of him, specifically the fun factor. This is done, for example, by removing the "show me your moves" pause on upB. The reason? Captain Falcon is apparently so fun, that it's no fun to play with anyone else. :laugh:

Either way, I'm repping this guy here because he is rapetastic, and the more input we get, the better.

I wasn't talking about your personal skill level. Just the fact you play Falcon in such a skilled and competitive region like New York filled with talanted players.

I completely went off what I meant to say lol

what I meant to say was uhh
I don't lose as much as you'd expect. I place about, in the middle of standings each tourney despite the amount of good players, but yeah it's not anything impressive yet.. It's tough around here for sure

2 good Ace, so is there any Falcon smashers that stand out abnormally yet? I mean I hear Ally is pretty good, Rebaz and some on this board but at one point Rebaz stood out of everyone. So whos on top now? On top of that I was wondering is there an easier way to RAR the BAir. Is it best to use the c-stick or A button when approaching.

Ah, haha I understand. Sorry for the confusion.

Just that everyone around New York is skilled and the tournament scene is huge, so people are naturally going to use viable characters. Falcon isn't one of them.

But still, that's pretty good. We have Culex, who's an arguably better Falcon than Ally. Beat him 4-1 in a Falcon ditto moneymatch.

Well for the Euro C.Falcons, Rebaz quit like 3months ago. Lionman (Spain) is easily the best C.Falcon in Europe now (personally I think he was always better than Rebaz =P). I'm probably top 5 C.Falcon as well with Red-Blue (Holland), Haze (Sweden) and maybe Cruel (Germany). (Mind this list is probably very inaccurate because it is coming from me)

Woah woah woah, calm down.

I said he has a better Falcon, but he's definitely not a better player. :yoshi:

Ally, you were my inspiration to get good at Brawl, dude.

Yeah, I was talking about the low-tier tournament. I wasn't being serious either, you're ****. I honestly believe Falcon goes 60:40 against Yoshi. Nair and Uair shuts us down.

Btw, since you guys are talking about Euro Falcons - are there any Falcons I should try to contact for the Community Video?

Rebaz, Cruel, Lionman.

Me and burntsocks, a very good Yoshi player, agree it's 60:40 Falcon's favour.

Uair, Nair, Jab>Grab setups, and these all punish Yoshi's overall lack of suitable defensive options.

Maybe you should work on falcon punching more ice blocks and less controllers.
