What is the dumbest thing you have tried to do as Falcon?

I was messing around the other day in training, I was trying to do D Throw > U Air > Single Hit Nair > Re Grab (btw if this is doable can someone let me know, I was like half able to do it, need to test on a real person). I decided I wanted to do D Throw > Raptor Boost spike. I then took my efforts into an actual match and dropped both my stocks that way. Probably the dumbest thing I have tried to do as Falcon.

What is yours?

Sometimes I dream that I'm ganondorf and go for Down B in the air.
Instead of getting beautiful spikes or actual knockback I get a pathetic attack with 5 years of endlag.

Apparently, Raptor Boost hits are hard to come by offstage.

...Many Captains have fallen that way.

Using the knee as a getup attack. It actually works out sometimes in friendlies.

camp ledge with falcon dive, actually worked once, but u have to land so many techs and read when they shield and when they're going in. Plus u can just get edgeguarded by moves with better hitboxes than dive. the input is also kind of nerve racking cause u have to hold down so u don't grab the edge, so if u miss input u pretty much die.

Reverse Falcon Punch offstage to edge guard Kirby. I would have died if he didn't airdodge right into it. He got punched from offstage left to offscreen right.

Lag turning your reverse Falcon punches near the ledge into raptor boosts off stage.

Trying to Falcon dive string someone offstage.

Once I for some reason tried to kill someone offstage with aerial Falcon kick. It didn't work...

Going extremely deep for a sweetspot knee is one of the dumbest things I've ever done as Falcon...it was satisfying, but then I lost my stock soon afterwards.

I also managed to completely miss a DAir spike and fastfall to my doom once.

Trying a Falcon Punch on Giant Kirby after getting shrunk, not once but twice-still somehow got a KO on him.

in general? the stupidest thing I do consistently is see someone charging a smash, think "yeah I can probably outspeed that before it hits me", and run straight into it.

specifically? i was playing a FG falcon ditto once that got very not serious towards the end. Opponent gentleman'd me offstage and went to edgeguard with offstage aerial falcon punch. I attempted to interrupt it with raptor boost and well... let's just say I titled the replay "pickett's charge"

Side b - insta jab it works if the opponent doesn't perfect shield and tries to punish it. I use the custom one with superarmour Its only slightly slower but still works. My local tournament allows customs(the only exception being the almost ungimpable villager up b custom). You can do side b-> side b with the custom one, if they don't perfect shield twice or hold shield you can get a shield break X)

That is a legit combo, my friend did it flawlessly until about 75%.

My dumbest thing I do is when I try to read people on FG. LOL.

really though, I usually run into someone charging a smash attack for a disgustingly long amount of time.

Yesterday I tried to Knee a Bayonetta Down Smash to clank and get back on stage.

I also tried playing FG on Wifi. Hardcore, I know.

Tried to run off stage knee someone. Read the second jump. Jump while I think I'm onstage. Apparently I wasted my second jump. Missed the knee. Then tapped y button until I died. This happened more than I care to admit.

Just remembered something incredibly stupid I did. Playing a buddy in a mm I gimped his falco with a backwards u-air. So I tried it during falco's side b.... Twice. Needless to say I ended up paying him.

One time in friendlies I went against a Bayonetta. They forgot to turn off Smash Balls and I give them the Elbow of Combustion taking their first stock. I then get the Smash Ball and hit my opponent with Falcon's final smash. They take a large amount of damage but not enough to get killed. They try to recover and I just give them the Heel of Shame as they get spiked down and ends the match.

I called it the "Casual Combo"

Used Side-B away from the stage, trying to spike the opponent.
Pretty sure I lost that match.

I've "Goldie Locks" combod someone off the stage then Raptor Boosted them. Didn't get the spike, but it killed them with the side blast zone. "Goldie Locks" combo being three B-airs.

Tried to punish a Corrin who spammed counter with Falcon Punch. They mixed up the timing, I messed up my timing, and I Falcon Punched a Corrin counter, which feels about the same as breaking your hand on a brick wall.
