Jag förstår inte. Vad sa du?
working on it, I just have to find a tri pod and Im good
FYI, it'd be better to shell out for a capture card...

btw, I have a random question...I plan to make a Falco combo vid, and I can't think of a really good song...any suggestions? I was thinking of using Aymui Hamasaki's Evolution paired with another song...

I could go in and edit his wiki so that his main is listed as Pichu.

SmashWiki isn't a credible source for anything.

L-cancel basically everything that CAN be L-cancelled unless you want to ledgecancel or if there's just no point in it (ledgehop spike), but you would probably do it by reflex anyway.

I do find it ironic that no one has given me any help with Link...I think the SHL is a good approach, but I wanna be sure...
This strat is almost 100% vs. Link because he has no shieldgrab and no real way to counter it:

SHL to Dair or SHL approach (Link Shields), Shine, JC grab, fthrow, retreat and spam lasers, and repeat. Works on any flat stage and is almost impossible for Link to get out of because he can't grab or jump out at any time if you have good techskill without getting hit. Works on Young Link and Zelda too, I think, and ... everyone else.

L-canceling is crucial, especially if you're doing SH-Dairs (like on Fox...), but WDing is only needed if they DI...
or if you hit their shield. i like wave shining their shield instead of pillaring the shield. for some reason its easier/faster for me.

Hey Falco experts, I have a quick question! I play Falco and my friend plays Fox. When he throws me off the edge, and he jumps out to shinespike me, how should I respond? If I just try recovering he usually will hit me with the shine (he's very accurate). Lately, I've been using Falco's down-A to spike him when he come at me, but usually I'm too far out to recover, and I lose one stock as well. Do you guys have any tips to help me?

Try DI back when you jump then F->B to the edge if you are somewhat close to the stage and he goes for the quick shine

If you're a noob stop learning to multishine, you won't be able to use it effectively. Learn the basics before trying to learn the more superfluous techniques.

Against the shine spike, you can try to vary your recovery and make it harder for them to hit you with the shine spike. I think I also saw someone laser them once and then fall down and Firebird upwards. I think the :unin vs Forward from SJSU matches have some tactics for it also.

I've never thought about using the laser in that fashion, I'm gonna have to try that. I'll also have to look into those matches. Thanks for the tips!

I'm not sure of the skill of the samus' you are facing but against higher level samus' you need to just laser spam and make them approach you.

Try Dashing 1st (Do this slow till you get the Hang of it) then RSHL Over time link more Dashes to RSHLs closer. Also When you Hit the ground after your Laser...DASH Dont wait just go.

what I meant before was when during the Dair to L-cancle.
should I like hit the button before I hit the ground or right when I hit??
I don't see any results so I guess I'm not doing it right :S

My fav combo is down grab to down b to aerial down a. If you get the down a spike off the edge they're done.

That doesn't work against skilled people. Try to learn to techchase with shl > grab or predict the roll after a missed tech and punish with a fsmash.

you can also do dthrow predict the tech and hit down B it messes they Di SO BADLY the shine comes out so fast while they are still holding the control stick prior to the tech


@ CREA why not just dsmash the hits go both ways you are more likely for your opponent to get hit than just fsmash

*coughtechrollcough*...

Here's a combo I found...I have a feeling it won't work on humans, but it was kinda cool...I phantasmed a Fox, he DI'ed at me, and I shined...like I said, any human smart enough to DI AWAY from you can get out of it...but it's still cool:p...

Chipoltle burritoes FTW!

Nah, seriously, good goin'...

Hey, I got a question...I got spiked while Firebird Stalling...does that normally happen? Or did I just stay out long enough for the invinciblity frames to run out?

If you're doing it perfectly, then no, that shouldn't happen. However, in reality, it's pretty hard to do it so you retain full invincibility throughout the whole time you're stalling.

Solution to this? More practice.

The Solution is to try speed and you know it HK
