P-3 is right, it's not that his game has changed much, we've discovered (and be we I mostly mean TKONTK and some others for contributing so much) many things, but they all are situational and can't be shoved in Falcon's game so easily, but it's just that we learn to pass by his weaknesses I guess, at least I try and pretty much succeed in ****** wih Falcon.
And like I said (predicted), should be above Ganon and Link, and it's true, yeuhzzz....Next tier list, Jiggz and Samus are next I'll tell you ;).

The problem with Link and Ganon is that their recoveries are terrible. I think it's fair to say that Falcon's recovery is in the top half, Falcon Dive gives a lot of distance and stage spikes stupid people. Ganon's upB is shorter, and laggier, to the point that you can hit him before he can react afterwards at certain percentages. Link has great range, but besides his bad recovery, his ground moves are pretty slow (his jab, which is probably his best ground move, is frame 7). Falcon can at least get grabs from jab cancels, and make it back to the stage with relative success. The other two characters may be better on the stage, but Falcon can survive horizontal knockback.
did you even play falcon? you have no idea how horrible's Falcon's landing lag is after NON-aerials(on high damage), so figure this out . Double jump, Fast fall + UP B = ultimate **** Landing lag. so yeah Link has more advantage on there. and ganon, well yeah...he is ganon.

I still call bull**** shenanigans.

Falcon above Link, if anything, it's a lack of rep and SBR's sudden boner for Falcon. It's understandable, just not correct. Just my opinion, and I don't care what you think. Just cause Falcon rose a spot or two, won't make you better in your next match. Good luck with that, though.

falcon is way ****ing better than jiggz tho lol

rebaz is right thats why i always go for the ledge

or else your ****ed

which is why you airdodge before you land to cancel out that lag

unless you upbed on stage... in which case you better have landed a hit


We were right.

HYESZ!
YES WE CAN

He's talking about the RCO lag, basically lag from special moves that can only be canceled by aerials at the right height, or by just landing with that massive lag. And I know that exists, but a suprising amount of characters have it, including Kirby (on at least 3/4 of his B moves, and even the grounded versions of some), and Ganon as well, if we're going to be comparing them. All I was saying is that Falcon can make it back to the stage far, far better than the two characters under him, and even if you land with RCO lag, which can usually be avoided, you're on the stage at least.

thats one person..
i think falcon raised in the tier list because falcon's more popular than seeing a link main or ganon main in tourney. so in this case, quantity beats quality because the quantity eventually beats out the higher placing tourney mains of links and ganons.

Dead. *****es.
I hate tier lists. At least ones made by the SBR.

They take into consideration tourney results. These results influence the outcome of the tier list. So in each period of voting, AT's and playstyles aren't the only thing taken into account.

Like the Great Emblem Lord said, and I quote:

"These lists show that the game is evolving when it really doesn't."

Of course the game itself never evolves.
The only thing that changes is how it's played.

Allright, thanks, I didn't understand since his response wasn't really in contrast with your post ;).

Falcon is not better then link.
He might be better then Ganon, but considering the match up averages ganon has better bad (see fewer terrible) ratio's then falcon does, it's unlikely. Also considering Falcon even has the disavantage against link and ganon doesn't help either.


The only reason falcon went up is because he's popular and almost everyone dabbles in him a bit.

Link is better than Falcon. A good Link actually has the ability to win unlike a Falcon. I may get hate for that but whatever.

Link is better than Falcon, and Falcon is better than Ganon. End of discussion.

To all the people who think Link is worse than Falcon.

Stop failing.
^This. Falcon is currently above link just because of a (sudden) rise of falcons popularity (as in, representation).

And@P-3:

you really act like you're ayaz. You tell everyone they play falcon wrong, while you dont even seem to know how to use falcons first hit Nair to its full potential (as you say you dont use it at all) which is only one of the things you presume, and make (sarcastic) comments about.
Its not that I dont like you, its that I think you are going out of line.
And that you underrestimate my falcon :pimp:


Disregard this message with massive disregard.

Bah! It happened when I wasn't here! *Does Hari-Kiri*

For the longest time everyone was SO convinced that Ganondorf was "better"... this just goes to show how subject things are to change based off of popular opinion.

Nah, I've played people in the US with little lag before.

And if you can play at p1's house, that'd be cool.
