How to start the grab

[ADloser]

I know DK can own fast fallers once they're in your grasp but im having trouble getting the grab in, especially against falco. I usually end up running blindly into a f-smash when I try to grab falco. What do I do?

[DooDah333]

depeneds if the falco is good or not....if he short hop lasers then light shield and wait for him to get close enough to u so u can shield grab....but then again he could always grab u.....falcos a tough one for dk.....

Yeah, shield grabbing is unfortunately your best bet. And with DK's awesome shield, you should have no problem grabbing anyone.

gayass dk shield...i cant decide whos is worse dks or g&w......and does n e 1 have problems blocking against ganon? cuz even if i light shield he seems to hit me

You can shield grab, Z grap, or wave dash grab, then throw upward then do the headbutt and slap upward.

Yeah, I don't even try to block Ganon's f-air... or a falling Warlock Punch. I found out that goes through a full shield the hard way.

Never sheild Gannons aerials dash away instead.

Remember Falco = fastfaller so he hits the ground early. Therefore most of your grabs will come from techchases so try to set these up.

As far as the grab is concerned the best way to get it is to shuffle an aerial (B-air or N-air) then dash in (Always jump cancel your grabs) the D-tilt can also be used to set up a grab as most people will shield after taking a hit expecting more tilts but really you grab them hahahaahahaha.

Dk's shield grab is kind of slow i've been trying to use it less and less.

Peace out

I get a lot of grabs on Falco from dashdancing away then back in with a jump cancelled grab. Also as King Kong said, from tech chases. Catch him out of the air with a b-air then rush in for the grab.

I always see it easier to grab with DK if you let them come to you. I play a Falco everyday, cause my friend uses him as a main. I always seems to grab him if I let him come to me, I think its alot easier. I never dash grab, if you miss they can punish you. Try to cargo when you grab as well, it makes doing the uair combos easier, cause you can use your 2nd jump to punish with the uair.

with falco u need to stay in the air alot and not let him short hop laser scare u

I find the best way to grab Falco is when there's no opportunity for him to do anything else. He needs to be completely helpless. Otherwise, you'll probably just get shined, grabbed yourself, or wavedash-back-to-U-Smash'ed. You can try learning how fast Falco's Phantasm goes, and try grabbing him out of that, and if he's off the edge early in the game, you can try to grab him while he's recovering. That's all the tips I can really offer. I play as Falco a bit, and noticed that his start-up times on many attacks are far better than DK's grab. *Sigh* Oh well, keep your monkey spankin'.
