So are you saying SS sacrifices efficiency and effectiveness for flash?

At times. I think when serious he doesn't do it much, but everything you do, even when you are not serious has an unconscious effect on your muscle memory. It helps if one is consciously thinking that it isn't serious, but it does have an effect. (SS goes for too much in times when he's not as serious, like when scar pointed out: he went for a dair>dair> knee techchase when dair>knee would have worked. While this doesn't inherently inhibit efficiency, because he read the tech wrong [or even had the possibility of reading the tech wrong] it hurt the combo's execution, ultimately resulting in a player surviving a combo that should have killed him) And generally I think Darkrain is the better player anyway. Nothing really bad against SS though, I think he's a great player and a he and Darkrain are a cut above all other Falcons.

Scar also extends his combo's to points he shouldn't (especially out of raptor boosting). This is something lots of Falcons do.

It's simply inefficiency, but sometimes, if you feel you are in control of the match and have the victory, you go for the flashy extensions on purpose. Not because you think they'll work, but because you know you can win by sacrificing reliability.

It's something every captain falcon main struggles with and it seems only Mango plays at maximum efficiency all the time. I don't think he's ever broken past 3 hits with a combo.

West Coast where you at?? lol

I actually found it funny that in the m2 boards we were discussing falcon and one of the strategies was to continue to di away and falcons will tend to overexert themselves inorder to kill m2 in one combo or so.

So often that last hit if its way over the edge will miss and m2 just ducks under and backairs for an easy kill.

M2 for life son.

So I guess its just in falcons blood.

this is all anyone on these boards talk about and it ruins other threads

DON'T QUESTION MY MOD STATUS

@ jungle fever when i raptor boost people and am not 100% sure i can knee them (for whatever reason) i will uair and EVERYONE expects the knee and uses survival DI, mostly because I should be kneeing. so uair always combos into knee at that % vs that DI, so it always works, so I don't stop

lol east coast DI is beast coast DI don't start that, it's the correct DI it's just that i'm bad at kneeing when i should, which in turn is a huge mindgame, albeit inadvertently

haha, definitely. I don't knee a lot of the time when I should, due to not feeling confident about my placing. However it works in my favor a lot.

Also, I think most falcon mains gain better di and recovery than most, cause he's just so **** killable
