I was wondering if anyone could share some experiences and some tips about the IC's matchup with falco. Their chaingrabs can be really tricky, so I was wondering if anybody could shed some light on this, thanks in advance

Console ban tho
True, lets just assume it is legal, just to be safe
In that case, separating is an obvious choice. Usually when I play this match up I'm super careful with my shield pressure to make sure I'm not shield grabbed. Go over their shield when shffling, and be careful with the wave-shines you like to do. If you get shield grabbed, it's pretty much over. Less dair approaches, more lasers and distance, and less time for them to breath is good. Don't underestimate Nana.

Curse you Pinky (I call Nana Pinky because I actually have no idea). Ok thanks, Lovin Mitts is gonna pick up ice climbers so I want to be prepared when he gets good
