This this this this.The point is not just to reflect lasers. It's a mental attack too. Most Falco players aren't that creative to begin with, they have their standard laser to **** stuff that once you force to them to adapt they get seriously off their game. If you make a Falco's laser functionally powerless - or at best a decreased functionality or useless as a zoning tool - then you have created a paradigm shift in the match up. Falcos on defense are generally awful, and then you can rush them over with offensive fair to **** combos.
It has never been about playing like a TAS Peach. It's always been about making your opponent feel like their weapons are useless. Lasers and dair can't be spammed, making the matchup fair.
Most Falco players are very repetitive. Imagine being good enough at powershielding so that when falco is just standing in place and spamming laser's he's not actually safe at all.
