Just started in Smash, eh? Well, if you're SURE you want to use Falco (competitively), here are some confidence-boosting words from me:

- Falco is unforgiving. He is a very good character when played to his fullest, but he is not too good otherwise. All or nothing! Self-destructs may be common.
- Falco is a very technical character, and you may find other characters more appealing in the process of learning him. Remember that.
- Falco has a nice set of beginner-friendly moves (Smash attacks, the "spike", etc), so abuse them to win while learning how and when to use them, along with his other set of moves.
- Falco doesn't take hits well. He is easily comboed, which matches very finely with his abysmal recovery. He has many safe moves along with beginner- friendly ones (Reflector aka the shine, tilt-A moves, etc) so learn to use them, and leave your opponent with few opportunities to punish you.
- Falco needs to fight each character very differently in some way. You may need to play differently against a Fox and then say, a Jigglypuff, in order to win against both.
- Falco dislikes angry players.

Become familiar with the game before anything though, of course.

falco is a decent character to start with. he isnt as technical as other characters. all you need to know is SHL and SHFFL to win. you basically play the same vs every character: laser laser laser then combo a bit and then smash attack/bair/nair to kill.
