why is it

[yummynbeefy]

that like NONE of the good falcon players have a secondary?

discuss

 

[aka.carpet003]

dude, there's no need for a secondary, d-throw to knee is all you need!

 

[Roneblaster]

because, tech chasing is tooooooooo much fun.

and because falcon would do this:

 

[kpm91]

Jeff actually has a pretty good Roy but he never uses it in tourney. I've also seen vids of Darkrain's DK and Fox and they're both pretty good.

 

[dragnet4000]

I've noticed the same thing with Luigi.
Maybe its because of their extremely unique playstyles in comparison with all the others, which have somewhat similar characteristics.

Idk maybe thats just me

Maybe if we find one CF/Luigi person...

Edit: Scar has tried ganon, and you're right about jeff, but they never are serious with them.

 

[yummynbeefy]

well i play falcon/marth (marth is like a 2nd main so i dont even count him as a secondary)

 

[dragnet4000]

Get first place in a large-scale national tournament, then we'll see.

 

[TheManaLord]

because at that point, there's no incentive to use falcon. any secondary has better matchups v most characters. it's also about character investment, most of the top falcon mains are VERY invested in their mains. it seems to be the case with falcon, he's an all or nothing high risk high reward char. you gotta be dedicated

 

[Roneblaster]

TML speaks the most truth...just ever.

 

[n0ne]

idk. I use falcon and all but my mains are mario and ganon. but although this is true... I almost ALWAYS go falcon the majority of times. idk. i think i feel like i can study oponent more/read techchases, read DI better. after a few matches i switch to ganon

 

[Mizar]

Falcon all dai.

 

[Hax]

he draws the cutoff line between viable and nonviable characters, meaning those who play him can either play a character thats almost completely better and makes falcon obsolete, or choose a sh*tty one who is worse than falcon in many aspects. to summarize, we play falcon for fun

 

[SwastikaPyle]

What do you mean secondary
you mean there are characters other than falcon?

 

[n0ne]

what hax said. yeah.
If u play Falcon, you play for fun.
If u play Sheik, you play for gay, gay winning.

 

[CaptainNanD0]

Hax has a really good Falco ppl don't know about that

 

[Wenbobular]

I don't understand how Falco mains can have secondaries
I tried playing Falco because I wanted to learn him
But his jump is just too slow for me to pick up
So now I'm back to being a Falcon main after like
4 days

 

[LittleOne]

how can you forget isai's sheik? D:

 

[Nocturnalist]

Good falcon mains stick to falcon becuase of consistency.to the majority of falcon mains like to be flashy as sex...

 

[Jimbo Slice]

I've always wanted to see Jeff's Roy vs Darkrain's DK.

 

[yummynbeefy]

that would be an EPICCC match

 

[g-regulate]

i mean, i wouldnt place as high if i used fox or falco, or marth. neither would hax, neither would darkrain, etc.

smaller tourneys maybe, but not tourneys with legit good players at it

This. There aren't any alts that are easy to play, fill a bad matchup, and are enjoyable to play as. Fox, and Falco take a lot of dedication, Shiek and Jiggs are boring, Marth is imo boring and after that you're dipping into characters as bad or worse than CF.

I guess you could try a Samus, Ganon, or IC, but that's a lot of investment for 1-2 matchups. And in some cases you are going from a bad matchup to a slightly less bad matchup. Why bother when you could put more effort into a character you like?

 

[Elec Man]

I don't consistently play other characters because none can SHOW ME YA MOVES

 

[Kason Birdman]

how can you forget isai's sheik? D:

thisthisthis.
its cause Isai is an exception.

He is God.
