luigi pokes people in 12 frames
12 frames of fun! Seriously, do Luigi's Side Smash to someone's armpit. You will **** them off so bad that you'll be in the Mushroom Kingdom when you wake up.
Aside from this arguable statement, you make a very good argument for his Usmash sounding terribad.
*edit* did I read it wrong? I realize I may have... *looks around*
It's bad in a sense of design. A multi-hit like that where you will be severely punished - it has noticeable end lag - and has a high risk and it having the same thing with Meta Knight's sword slashes just destroys the move. I mean, I had times where Falco's foot it clearly inside a person's body and no hit is registered. I checked Meta Knight's Ftilt and half his sword has no hitbox.
If it connects and it's at a high percent it will kill. I never had the the second hit whiffing at higher percents, but other Falco players have. It might be something with me getting right into someone's face and using Up Smash or it might be an air issue where it launches people to far. At early percents it will combo into itself like Utilt. I believe it combos twice, so that's 32% and Utilt can combo thrice for 27% or four for 36%.
See this is why I feel Falco is too strong and too weak. Excluding whiffs, incomplete attacks, and parts of attacks, none of Falco's normals, aerials, and Smashes do below 6% which goes to a late Dash Attack. Here's the problem, his attacks have strong knockback and his mobility makes it difficult to catch people. Ganondorf boots people to the Sacred Realm, Luigi has strong attacks that have little knockback, Sheik can chain attacks and is highly mobile, and then there's Falco. At least Wolf had range and moving attacks and Fox is fast, but Falco feels like a stronger and slower Luigi and a weaker, but faster Ganondorf. This is one of those situations where being the average isn't good.
Yoshi stole Falco's Usmash. RIP Falco.
Falco stole Wolf's Bair and Up Smash in function and Fox stole Wolf's Wolf Flash and Fire Wolf as Twisting Fox. Yoshi, Falco, and Fox are just a bunch of crooks. Oh, and didn't Rosalina steal Zelda's Down Smash?
