The joys of Falco

[talkingbeatles]

Both my brother and myself are amateur players at best, and today we were messing around and playing agaisnt each other's mains.

His: Falco, Marth, Ness
Mine: Dr. Mario, Zelda/Sheik, Pichu

Anyways, we were showing each other moves and combos and what not and I was trying to explain to him why Falco was such high tier. (As if that needs much explaining...)
I bring up pillaring and he asks how to do it. So I grab Ness, and he snags Falco, and we're off to Final D and I run him down the basics of it. He starts to pillar me (sloppily) and he just starts laughing. Like not "lol" or chuckling or anything, like straight out serious-for-real-laughing.
"That's so cool."


Point of discussion:

Falco, how you be so good?

Pillaring is a highly skilled technique involved placing a lot of pressure on another players shield until a) it is broken or b) a hit will land thru their small shield.

Multiple players have pillars, such as Peach and Falco.
Falco's most obvious combo is the same one used to pillar opponents. (Dair > l-cancel > shine > repeat)

They are two different things. Please use the term correctly. And yes, I love Falco as much as you do. =)

Pillaring is really easy to do. There are tons of varieties of pillaring for different results. And usually the end of a pillar is the other person escaping, via roll. less common are shieldshines, and shieldgrabs, but both are more common that shieldbreaks.

That's why I'm the noob, and you're the lord. Again, my mistake.
