Trying to pick a spacie

[defnotcrz]

Hey, I'm a Lucario main in Project M, and I also just started playing Melee. I found that just about everyone in my scene has a pocket spacie, and I've decided to pick one up to play along with Lucario. I've also played Marth for really bad matchups. I would also want to also play said spacie in Melee, so I'm between Fox and Falco. Furthermore, my tech skill has been better than my neutral/fundamentals, so consider that, along with who synergizes with Lucario's tech/playstyle.

Fox is just about objectively better than falco in pm. Unless you really like falco's playstyle, you should probably just go fox.

You aren't really going to get anywhere in Melee OR P:M if all you have is tech skill and no foundation. Lucario and Falco are both very similar in how easy it is to control the pace of the match and put pressure on the opponent. They're the most similar, but with Fox, you're more likely to learn fundamentals since he's a much more basic character.

I see, Falco may be crutching out a lack of neutral while Fox would make me a better player and learning neutral would improve my Lucario play.

 

[Diabolical PIe]

I mean, that's just my opinion. At the end of the day, you're going to have to learn how to play neutral with every character.

Just learn to play Falco with no lasers. It'll help you practice positioning and stage control. Also it'll stop you from jumping in because people will DD grab you for days.

I don't really play the Spacies, but I have always thought Falco was better. I main Lucario a lot also, and at that I get more trouble from Falco players over Fox players.
