If only the KNEE was as easy to sweetspot as it was in melee.

You know that grab range pic has got to be wrong. It's definitely more dynamic than that. It assumes, from the same distance, Falcon can grab any opponent regardless of height, but I am positive you must be closer to shorter enemies to grab them, especially if they crouch (Kirby).

one thing about falcon's bside in the air. if it's done very close to the ground (not the mock waveland height but somewhat near the ground), the hit lands and falcon immediately touches the ground. it's very difficult to do and requires almost precise timing, but i've done it a couple of times, even once during a match. i have a replay on my wii showing me doing it a couple of times against a bowser (i could make another replay with more examples showing it, but i don't have a capture card). i judge it by once your foot touches the ground, but you don't land (inbetween those two). i haven't tried it on wierdly shaped stages, but i only know it to work on flat stages.

Same, I like Battlefield alot. But apparantly, it's one of Falcon's worst stages.(..?)

... did you guys know that falcon punch can be moved up and down similar to jiggly's sideb in the air? i did it a couple of times, but it's definitely more noticeable with moving down. most likely falcon will land before the wierd effects in the air though, but if used off stage you can do some crazy stuff.

Not that it's useful or anything, I *did* not know that.

Hey noodlehead! If you think the stuff we've put up on the stage discussion board is relevant go ahead and update. If you have any questions let me know...

What, just normal DI with the analog stick? At least that can help make your hits more precise.

Well, I hold A and then simply let go, and grab. It works just as fine as hitting A twice, and then grabbing.
Holding A and then letting go, during the beginning animation of the 1-2 knee, cancels out the infinite punches that follow the knee, and when you hit A again, it'll start over. If you're not careful, and don't time it correctly, the infinite punches will ensue. I've began using the Captain's Turbo Punch (simply hold A for rapid-fire, single, arm, punching action) to out prioritize a lot of my opponents. Some simply walk into it, as though they don't think it'll beat out a move, and others try to cancel it with a move of their own. Either way, it's effective.
My favorite move with Captain has to be his Utilt. The range on it, is beautiful, and it allows for some of the most deceptive spacing, and greatest edgeguarding ever. (My opinion)

no, the punch moves up or down only slightly, but when you do it downwards when the punch is going out, it looks like you fly down quite a bit faster than you would normally fall (w/o fastfall, so just moving the stick down a little).
^You answered your own question.
Edit: So, that means no >_>

Captain falcon has no weak matchups.
To main captain falcon is a mind game in itself, to be over confident and use falco is another thing. All captain falcon players should be overly confident all the time. We have nothing to lose.
Falcon for high tier.

be overconfident makes me play sloppy and die more easily.

Indeed. It makes you overlook your opponent's skill and then you get gimped.
Maining Falcon takes a lot of patience, spacing, reflexes, and knowledge of his moveset, and don't forget Utilt... <_< Utilt FTW.

I REALLY hope I'm right in asking this....I didn't see it. How do you do the 360 degree falcon punch? I've tried to turn like I normally do for his 180 but I can't get the 360. I didn't see it in the guide.

I think theres some AT where if you do an aerial just before you land you slide backwards or some ****. I don't know many ATs as I don't read up on that ****.
