well when i first tried the knee i was like

[Nowaytoeatatater]

and then recently i was like



It's practically impossible to sweetspot with it now.

 

[KeyKid19]

It's not inherently difficult, but to pull it off in a match against a good opponent is definitely a struggle.

 

[Nowaytoeatatater]

Exactly.

In Melee, it was hard to NOT sweetspot the knee.

 

[Banjodorf]

To master Falcon and his Knee this time around is to be the Gimpy of Brawl.

It'll just make you that much better if you go back and play melee I guess.

ummm i was going to make a video about landing the SH knee, but i have never done that crap, so i guess i'll try to tell in text.

Alright the knee works like this:

Head in a match against Bowser (b/c he's the biggest) MAKE SURE IT'S A MATCH. Make the bowser 2p so it doesnt move (BTW at 99 lives, 3mins). What you want to do is short hop, and observe falcon's peek in jump. after a couple practise jumps release the knee at the PEEK of Falcon 's SH (It is important that you unleash it at the peak, the c-stick works best)then fast fall (again fast fall a split second after the knee comes out). it's pretty hard to pull it off in time it'll grow on you, one common mistake i make is in a match i rush the knee right away, which ruins it, IT IS IMPORTANT YOU DO THESE ALL IN STEPS, ONE AFTER THE OTHER. After the match ends replay it for quick refernce, then try it on squirtle, then just add some running into the mix to perfect it.

hope it help's i'll try to get a video up (one thing to add thing to add is that it's able to be tech chased)

I land the knee after people airdodge. Everyone always seems to air dodge after they are knocked in the air. A good way to knee people is to down-throw, wait for the dodge, punish them.

Also, I land the knee after failed ledge tactics. If you can predict the roll, ledge attack, or jump, you can punish them again.

Lastly, remember a flubbed knee almost always leads into an u-air. That's how I use the knee. Not as awesome as it was in Melee, but I think it is a severely underrated move. The percents you kill with it are ludicrous since it is almost always undiminished.

**** thats my problem, i gota do it in that in order, i always forget to jump before i knee, it does some stupid kick thing...

 

[whut?]

whats. your. point...
do you think your strange opinion will convert people like religion?
youre on the brawl forums, you can get to the melee forums by clicking the
'smash world forums' tab at the top of your page and finding melee character specific.
no more complaint threads people

 

[Warlock*G]

Welcome to Brawl, where uneeded nerfs were made, and needed nerfs weren't done! Hurray! :/

 

[Reaver197]

HAY GUIZ.

I think I should make Marth's side-b faster. Brilliant! Oh what's this, Falcon's knee was usable? Not anymore!

[Chris is me]

It's a little harder, but it's not really difficult once you get it. You really just have to get used to it

Yes, the Knee is way underrated. Flubbing it isn't necessarily bad, plus once you learn it it's still almost as good as Melee. Now if they just gave CF moar priority...

 

[vills]

it feels good once it connects xD

 

[Reaver197]

It's no where near as good as it was in Melee.

Unless you could magically spawn a time clock every time you wanted to knee someone.

 

[superman969]

when i first tried it in brawl, i cried for about 2 hours, then switched mains to snake

 

[Ayaz18]

Actually, if there was a camera taking pictures of me the first time I used Falcon in Brawl, it'd probably be that.

 

[SonicZeroX]

It's hard to land it on a grounded opponent, but I catch people in the air most of the time with the sweetspoted version.

 

[Airgemini]

Just go to training mode and slow down the speed and try to get the timing.

 

[flash7]

Anyone know if a flubbed knee will diminish the attack power of a sweet spotted knee?

 

[Dead Sexy Captain Falcon]

It is nearly impossible to sweetspot the knee with a SH when the opponent is on the ground the best way to knee is to SH and DI backwards ( for spacing if it misses b/c lag isnt to good) and hope for the opponent to jump this works really well and can actually work in matches.

 

[Airgemini]

I think so.
I read somewhere that happens with Zelda's kicks also.

 

[Knee Of Justice!?]

it may be hard to connect with but it is o so satisfying

 

[CAPTAIN_FALCON23]

Two words:

Heavy.
Brawl.

I just tried it out, timing for the knee seems far closer to that of Melee. Now let's go flood the general/tactical boards with lobbying for heavy brawl as standard competitive mode.

 

[Nowaytoeatatater]

Ho...ly...****. Wow.

Heavy brawl makes EVERYTHING better. I can actually knee AND spike now! **** YEAH

 

[goodoldganon]

Too bad characters with multiple jumps, like Pit and MK, can't recover worth a ****.

 

[GetSmashedWithTheBros]

it's not that bad, it's just harder

if you practice, you'll get the hang of it

one of my favorite things to do is d-throw into the righteous knee at 70%ish for kills
