Things to practice by yourself with Falcon

[SpaceFalcon]

Seems like much to few without a shine ;(

I'm trying to get 100% consistent with gentlemens, and reverse moonwalking for ****s and giggles... hmm scar jumping yay, I can already waveland and ledge cancel with him flawlessy.

Any ideas boys?

Reverse combos? Like reverse knee, reverse u-air, b-air, and moonwalk attacks. Reverse knee is really useful to learn. Say you get a stomp on the right side of the stage on falco. You are facing the stage, so you can knee him forward, and try to edgeguard, or reverse knee and kill him. Option 2 is clearly better.

 

[KirbyKaze]

all the different ways you can space nair.

 

[Daedatheus]

When in doubt practice taunting.

I think reverse knees are for being flashy, you could always just turn around and knee him the right way, haha.

what I tend to do for practice is play a lvl 3 marth and nair him consistently across FD. Then throw in uairs at different percentages so you have a general understanding of where he will go every time.

Sometimes you don't have the time to turn around and you have to hit with a reverse knee to get the kill. Mastering the reverse knee is key to being remotely good at falcon. The most simple situation I can think of is ledgehop -> knee after hogging the ledge. If you hit with a normal knee, it'll dish out like 18% damage and you might be able to combo or something; if you hit with a reverse knee, they die, and you win.

isai makes it happen, reverse knees are more than just flash.

^I wouldn't call them the key to being good with Falcon, but it's definitely useful. A lot of times if you're trying to stomp to knee at high percents (if you missed the proper percent to do it at), you just need to get the knee out ASAP, so reverse knees help in those situations. Or against characters who break out of hitstun fast o_x;;

when in doubt ....being consistent with tech skill...to me that isnt enough.going to lots tourneys is super good practice.if you cant go to a tourney hold one at the casa....

falcon stuff. hmm..... Ponders** tech chasing is always good..

 

[Kurtzmann22]

I need some help meteor cancelling and teching with CF.

 

[young wus]

I dont think that the moonwalk is not that important, but it looks super cool....... anyway, u need to make sure u can L-Cancel every move!!!! also, the Gentleman is a great thing to practice, but i think ur going 2 need a bot, cause only 1 man can do it with no one there, yah BOY Silent Spectre!!!!! Also, i know its going 2 sound stupid but practice combos on Bots. lol i know bots right, but 4 real get the feel for some combos, plus sum ppl dont even DI Right and maybe u can land some of those combos. (mainly vs Fox, and Falco, CF, Ganon, Bowser, and marth here and there for floaty practice)

 

[Smash G 0 D]

Perfect the Dominatrix.

Sexy kills ftw

what is "Dominatrix"????( in smash what does it mean) i dont understand what u are saying.

 

[eighteenspikes]

ledge dash attack to instant walljump knee

 

[DtJ Jungle]

Ok. I've tried this


How the **** do you do the instant wall jump

 

[young wus]

Ok. I've tried this


How the **** do you do the instant wall jump

just as u would a regular wall jumb, just stupid faster and right when u hit the wall, i dont no the exact timing. but its like a shine back, its fast, well maybe not as fast as a shine back air, but it is fast.

 

[Daedatheus]

Try practicing ledgehop -> waveland back onto the edge -> ledgehopped aerial.

Try to get it as perfect as possible. As in, you still have some invincibility frames while you waveland and have a low chance of getting hit while you do it. THEN YOU KNEE THEM IN THE FACE.

 

[TheManaLord]

just practice l cancel and wd and wl and stuff

just rujn around and do moves and ledge cancel and wavedash and waveland all over the place for tech skill practice

thats the only tech stuff that captain has??>>>???

 

[DtJ Jungle]

Well and moonwalking

otherwise. yes.

 

[TheManaLord]

edgecancelling too i guess, he takes use of it a lot with recovering with upb

other than that just moonwalking yeah but it's not as essential

 

[young wus]

is the gentleman consider tech skill???

<.<;; Are you serious? It's not that hard to do a gentleman with no one there. Sure, it's not as easy as doing up+B, but it's not that hard. I can do it fine...

 

[Tomacawk]

<.<;; Are you serious? It's not that hard to do a gentleman with no one there. Sure, it's not as easy as doing up+B, but it's not that hard. I can do it fine...

Technically speaking, I can do almost every single thing in the game. What can I not do? SDWD. What else? GENTLEMAN WHEN IT HITS NOBODY
Get that garbage outta here

whats the timing for doing the gentleman with out sum one there??? is the timing the same with a person there???

 

[DtJ Jungle]

I can't SWD on command but I can do it.

 

[TheManaLord]

gentlemen is super tech skill if yuo can do AAA method 100% youre pretty darn good

 

[P.C. Jona]

if you wanna do it without hitting anyone all you gotta do is tap a 3 times really slow.. if your doing the first jab then the first jab again your going too slow.. its not hard at all

 

[TheManaLord]

with hitting someone in battle all the time 100% hit or miss

obviously

wow jona =/

 

[P.C. Jona]

i only said it cuz of this one

Technically speaking, I can do almost every single thing in the game. What can I not do? SDWD. What else? GENTLEMAN WHEN IT HITS NOBODY

you gotta be kidding,cuz everyone(or atleast me)posted it on your *jab cancelling* thread man

 

[ZoSo]

I made a thread about this.

Things that have helped me:

Practice L-cancelling through hitlag against an "AFK" Bowser with .5 damage ratio and 9-1 handicap against you. I feel this is important because hitting somebody (specifically their shield) when you don't expect to can change the timing of your L-cancel and get you shieldgrabbed.

Try dashing away from a neutral, standing posture a few times. You may notice that Falcon will sometimes go through his "turning around" animation before dashing, adding extraneous frames. You may also notice that this can be avoided if the smash the stick properly. If you've ever had a problem with this, just practice dashing away after L-cancelling and whatnot until you get a feel for it.

 

[Tomacawk]

SWD != SDWD. I can SWD pretty well.
And doing a gentleman with hitting nothing is hard as ****, Jona. Don't act like I'm ******** because you think you're amazing

but gentlemaning the air is easy as hell,you just need to time 3 jabs same time between them(like half a second)

 

[ZoSo]

Maybe you guys should talk about something that's actually useful in any way.
