Why does everyone jump before falcon punch

[senorspoof]

Even after a shield break, or something, people always jump.

 

[Lid]

it looks cool, and epic.

 

[Genuine]

well wahts harder to hit a stationary person using falcon punch or a guy moving through the air with falcon punch. You are more likely to hesitate if they jump toward you with falcon punch. And for the whole shield breaking thing, Im pretty sure its done for the epicness.

 

[WFL]

The real question is why don't some people not jump before a falcon punch.

 

[Animal control]

ppl jump before a falcon punch is that it's a mind game and is more effective

 

[Mky762]

also if you need to time the punch, you can jump but its not all that needed and as lid said, its epic

 

[yinn_skitchy]

it makes you look cool

 

[Dogysamich]

This is why

He jumped in the anime, therefore it's standard procedure to jump and FALCON... PAAAAANCH

The only thing better than a falcon punch is a flying falcon punch. Maybe even reverse it.

 

[Chaotic Yoshi]

You can more horizontal distance with falcon punch in the air

 

[Velox]

It lets you buffer a turn-around-Falcon-punch (makes it easier to Falcon punch behind you.) Extremely useful for the Tapion Falcon punch combo. The jump sequence (short hop is ideal) can be seen by Tapion himself.

yea and it makes you look cool like that 1 guy said XD

 

[theONEjanitor]

because if you simply stand and do it, the winddown lag of the move causes you to be kilt.
in the air, most of the lag is overwith before you hit the ground so you can quickly begin to move again. its the same concept as the SHL

 

[TheManaLord]

does more damage

 

[Demon_machinE]

Correct.

*raises sword*

 

[senorspoof]

Oh, ok at the damage thing.

But for all the others, I meant even when you're guaranteed a hit. (sleeping puff, shield break, etc)

 

[RaynEX]

because mobile Falcon punches are better than standing ones.

 

[Insane-Contrast]

It looks pretty neat, gives less lag time and makes you a little harder to hit.

 

[Psychoace]

Because you touch yourself at night.

 

[RaynEX]

lol it doesn't do more dmg. lmao at whoever posted that.

 

[Psychoace]

you can l cancel it.

 

[leefan]

yea, most ppl jump b4 a falcon punch... but what about those ppl who jump INTO falcon punches? that always seems to happen, like, once every five matches to even the best of us

 

[RaynEX]

because falcon is more of a threat in the air.

he's a falcon for christ's sake.
