*This video is merely for entertainment purposes. These combos are done
in training mode on a computer that does not shield, air dodge, DI, or attack.
They will unfortunately, not work otherwise.
I tried to use every character I could.

I like the title. It's sad that it's hard to pull off it off in real gameplay.

Still entertaining. Some of the stuff can still be applied to the gameplay. Just hard to put your opponent in some of those situations to be set up for it.

lol @ Ice climbers.

 

[Devilution]

fluxing sexy.

 

[Mr.Trite]

Too bad uair-->anything at lower percents doesn't work anymore ;(

Nice ending :DD

 

[Mr.Victory07]

very nice
lol at the Ice Climbers and the Zamus ending

 

[HT27]

Sweet video, awesome combos, great ending. Too bad on the choice of music though, but I guess you can't have everything in life.

I think Falcon wasn't nerfed, it was more the change in game mechanics that nerfed his overall game and playstyle.

That wouldn't have existed then.

I don't care how good or bad Falcon is. That video was great, save for the music (at least it wasn't the original). Falcon may be dead, but he's still flashy.

*I* think he wasn't nerfed. If hitstun still had effect similar to that in Melee, and airdodging wasn't as easy to use, many of Falcon's combos would be perfectly viable in Brawl. His moves themselves are, for the most part, the same thing, it's just that the game's transition to floaty, low-hitstun makes these same moves harder to string together, etc. Just my opinion... I don't really know why you referred to that other thread there, it's not even a decent thread.

It could have been...Melee!

 

[Mule50]

this makes me sad to see...not just for Falcon but for the game itself. In melee I loved being flashy and stringing together long combos (watching bombsoldier is what made me want to be competitive), but now, with the decreased hitstun, I don't find this game as awesome as I had hoped.

 

[Me14k]

The ending made my day. Thankyou.

 

[Stratocaster]

I miss old Falcon so much! ...I could go play melee, but now after playing brawl I suck at melee because I have trouble adjusting between the 2 incredibly different games. I start wavedashing in melee, then I play brawl and randomly jump airdodge like i'm just gonna slide across the stage...
eh, brawl...

I believe you should try to consider why people know that he was nerfed. It wasn't just the game mechanics that were changed.

Speed of Melee is what keeps on the game. The excitement of it.

 

[IWuvGeno]

Awesome vid man!

This makes me not like Brawl Falcon anymore.... i'd rather quit playing entirely than switch characters.....

 

[Reaver197]

Guys, if you honestly want to do things like that, play Melee and get good. Not only will it look even flashier due to increased speed, but it will be so much more satisfying since it'll show you've reached a certain level of skill.

We suddenly don't have to ignore Melee altogether. If you like doing that sort of stuff, play Melee. You don't need to play Brawl.

Uhh we kinda know that though. No one is saying to ignore Melee. It would just be more satisfying to be more of a threat with Falcon other than possibly team play.

 

[Reaver197]

Eh, it seems to me a lot of people feel compelled to learn and play Brawl, and sort of forget about Melee just because it's an older, "outdated" version of the game. I'm hoping I'm wrong, but threads like this don't help so much.

 

[Mann]

Hey dude, look on the brighter side.

Ah ....memories...good times, good times...

 

[KeyKid19]

Watching these old Falcon videos makes me sad. If only he kept his air speed so much more would be possible in Brawl.

 

[Deleted member]

ah,that was very entertaining indeed =)

 

[Stimpy]

Everything was good!


Just wish i didn't have to mute my computer to listen to that trash music :[.

lol I thought the same thing.

 

[myRoboticClaw]

It seems like no one is digging the music, maybe I should change it. T.T

I didn't mind it. It's just because it's... soulja boy. And his superman.

 

[PhillipthaGoober]

Nice video. But Soulja Boy sucks.

 

[Luck-NYC/NJ]

Omg This Is The Best **** Ive Seen In Brawl.

I Love You That Was So Amazing.

 

[crosser43]

i saw this vid before, and waited for u to post it so other ppl can praise its awesomeness. its given me hope that falcon has greater potential than thought
and the IC footstool wuz sik

 

[Mr.Trite]

I haven't had much of a chance to try butt is uair, dj fair totally viable in a real match?

I've done it a few times. But I've been only able to do it vs. people who don't play the game much. I'm pretty sure it's still useful. You saw Chillin's video?

[Mephianse]

All of the combos were cool and creative, congratulations.

But I think there is hope with Heavy Brawl, maybe you can't do awesome combos like those shown in the video, but at least he recovers some of the gravity that made him so **** good in melee.

 

[Tomzo]

that video of chillin has alot of combos i believe could easily be air canceled by 2p. ive never seen two uairs chain into a knee successfully against a player who could see it coming.

 

[Iwan]

Wow, very very nice. Imagine if hit stun actually existed in brawl

Still, falcon is under rated in brawl. And at the very least it looks like you'd be viable with him.

But ****, even just a half second more hit stun would make at least SOME of those things possible.

Uair to dj fair is def still viable in a real game against good players. At low-mid percents an uair>dj fair is quick enough to hit someone before they can airdodge.

Hope that helped?
lol?
