Good falco. Just a couple things that you could improve on when playing opponents that I noticed. I thought there were too many downthrows, I personally prefer upthrows at a lower percentage because it can usually lead into a bair or something for added damage, the downthrows didn't really serve any purpose, up throw is probably a stronger choice for falco. One specific example of bad use of that throw was where you were close to the edge and you downthrew sheik instead of what you probably should have done which was thrown her backwards in order to start ledgeguarding. I watched the video again and realized you were trying to use the downthrow for techchasing so it wasn't necessarily a bad idea... I just prefer to use the upthrow more because it has more guaranteed possibilities IMO.

You used a lot of double JC shines in the begining but since you couldn't keep them on the ground they would lead to a fullhop and missed combo oportunities. I think you should have used more pillaring to put pressure on the shield and then maybe thrown in some of those JC shines if you got too predictable... but not replace pillaring with them like you seemed to have done.

Either way good match I hope my comments helped, keep whoopin on shieks.

My internet disconnects every 5 minutes and it disconnected during the match and YouTube thought that was when the video ended so I only saw up to 1:16. Is there anyway you can host it on googlevideo? I don't have problems there.

Anyway, not a bad Falco, although I think you missed an L-cancel or 2 if I saw right. I disagree about the downthrow being bad. You can downthrow>dtilt or downthrow>shine and combo out of that.

Dthrow to shine/dtilt or whatever only works if they don't tech. I personally prefer uthrow at medium percentages, and dthrow at lower percentages, and fthrow/bthrow at higher percentages.

I was dthrowing for techchasing- works well vs sheik at low percents. Also that dthrow near the edge i was hoping for him tech rool the other way so i could get in a fsmash.

thanks guys anymore?

Pretty good falco over all.

Work on a little bit more speed though, I thought your tactics were nice.

The D-throw to tech chase was good, but sometimes you can throw up to uair for a different change in pace.

Nair more and make better use of the platforms for lasering.

Sometimes go from a combo into a grab and switch directions to continue it. Works pretty well. Work on Wavelanding on and off platforms a bit more.

Over all, not bad.

Ok, use Nair a lot more. Only use Dair when comboing, spiking. Or if you hit them with a dair when they're on the ground and they pop up, grab them or forward smash them. If you need more help just look at some of my matches from the INN tournament when I fought Tope. The second match demonstrates a lot of good tactics vs Sheik.

Thanks, I saw those matches, nice job. There is a match missing here because it wasn't recorded and it was after my loss at FoD. Don't know why I was playing bad though lol. I'll nair a lot more. more vids soon
