Yessir!

(Although I'll have to resume tomorrow... Or the next day. I gots me F-Zero GX and a few other games!)

Oh, speaking of which...

Merry Christmas, everyone in this thread. (I say it in advance, for some, though. Like me!). I say that monotonously, and thus humorously.

How would you punish Sheik's dash attack? I often can't shieldgrab because the dash attack puts her behind me. Maybe shieldhop bair?

I'm just tired of getting dash attacked > f-tilt > faired/uaired off the stage.

Hey, I'm wondering how in the hell do you fight Peach? I can never get in on her since all of her attacks out-prioritize Falcon's (especially her f'ing nair) and I don't know how to deal with her turnips. Anyone know how to deal with her?

i like to keep a short distance from peace and grab to combo... usually nair and uairs work great, of course follow that with a knee. oh and dont tech in place alot, you will get owned.

samus spamming on fd? everytime i got in range trying to avoid missles it seems like a cc d-smash or some ownage. and i can powershield fine but she can throw two before i throw out one.

also powershield question... is it possible to powershield a missle followed by a fully charged shot or do you gotta just take the hit in your shield for one? cause i power shield one try to re-powershield but i got hit.

fd is good for this match up, imo. the spam isnt so bad at all. run under a high missle, or jump above a grounded missle. there arent platforms to speed it up and unless he does double missles the spam shouldnt bother you. use dair against cc obviously. samus can cc dsmash ur nairs easly or even wd back smash, so dont spam it.

and about your 2nd question, technically its possible, as shown in perfect control (peach powershielding a ton of fox lasers), dunno how practical that is.

falco advice....? im not gonna beat a decent falco. **** all someone needs is a good 2 weeks with him and i'd get *****.

even when i powershield my mobility is extremely limited... and whenever i try to get in that hit, like a n-air or something im getting out spaced and pillared or something worse....

hate the matchup baaaaad.

Hey i'm heading up to a tourney in Austin, and I've got my eye set on a falcon ditto, I never really play falcon dittos. What are good percentages for dthrow and upthrow to knees on falcons?

He's a fast faller, so generally the same %'s as you would on spacies. Meaning if you're hoping to get an up throw to knee, it'd have to be past 100%, and even more if you want a down throw to knee. Just play him like a spacey and go for the easy kills like up throw to fsmash or stomp to knee. Way easier to edgeguard that's for sure.

You're missing out. Falcon dittos, IMO, are the best kind of dittos in the world.

90%+ you should Uthrow > Fsmash. Unless they DI away from you, then it's regrab Uthrow. It's a bit easier to land than knee. And almost always a guaranteed KO.

110%+ you should Uthrow > Knee, which will always hit regardless of DI.

Just remember that Uthrow/Dthrow tech chases really **** Falcon. Always keep him under your control and be very mindful of your opponents DI and tech tendencies.

Keep your KO's combos fresh. When you know your opponent is expecting a knee, do something else, like Uair > Knee, Regrab > knee, Dtilt > regrab. Fun stuff like that.

G-Regulate, what are some of the best combos beginning with D-Air, with the opponent on the ground? I've seen that D-Air to Aerial D-Air to Knee if a tech is missed works well...

(And the advanced techniques are slowly but effectively "advancing" on me, BTW :) )

And... Advice vs. Doctor Mario?

You can do it at lower percents, but it's just DI dependent, and won't get you a KO, but rather set up for the edgeguard, which is relatively easy for dittos. Utilt is your friend. Or if you're already hogging, ledgehop Uair Ganondorf-style if he's gonna make it back on stage.

I wanna see this ditto in person. G-reg's Falcon is uber-hot. He has a high average kinetic energy level. Never seen xYz's Falcon, but I'd like to.
