Just moved to Boise. No idea what the Idaho smash scene is like. Does it exist?

Exactly. If they shield the laser, the jab will always hit their shield because of the frame advantage silent laser gives you. However, when you jab someone's shield they almost always seem to try and punish it with something. If they drop their shield, the usmash will hit before their move...

That's actually really cool. Didn't know that. As for the laser trap, I'm just saying that, in theory, it's not that good. But it does give falco one more option and options are always good. Don't forget that grab isn't the only thing that falco can do. If they don't shield the laser...

This is old. Like really old. It's rarely useful because, like Tommy_G said, you're in their face for way longer than acceptable. Players are used to lasering falcos and they will punish you 99.9% of the time you try this. Meta Knight's specifically have nothing to fear because they can...

Basically it's high risk, high reward style of play. In brawl, most players agree that the low risk option is usually better. I feel it should never be done against characters who juggle well or do well off stage or you will find yourself in the air constantly and getting gimped every other...

Hey, my name is Cinnamon or Cin for short. My main is Falco and I am the only Falco main in Oregon. I occasionally win money at tournaments that I attend so I guess that technically makes me a pro Smasher! :bee: On top of Smash I am a Starcraft player though I am not pro (yet). 1. Are you...

I like to think of falco's jab as on par with MK's tornado. It's ridiculously good but people are figuring out how to work around it. I'm not saying it's bad but people actually know how to punish it now so we gotta be a little more careful. It'd be like if the MK boards made a thread called...

wb sole. Look, everything we would talk about has already been covered. If you're still confused or have questions go here: http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=263777

This is a big deal dude. Being able to camp means being able to avoid getting grabbed. Also, even if falco gets up close to ic's his quick jab, seperating throws, and a ftilt that is safe on their shield are all effective tools for preventing the grab. You're right it can all be undone with...

Never post here again. Look at the match-up from IC's perspective. You have little range and no projectile (ib's don't really count). Falco is shooting you with lasers to keep you sync'd up and your movement speed is slow so you can't approach quickly. Air speed is slow and your grab...

Yeah combat walking is the best choice but you completely ignored the other options. We've always known that it's possible for other characters to react to the jab->grab or jab->whatever but lately (especially in tournament) people have actually been doing it. I find myself losing stocks when...

I play against t1mmy and t0mmy a lot and they fall for it maybe 70% of the time. It's worked against felix, Tuen, and lots of others. I played m2k a long while but never even got a chaingrab on him so I didn't get to try it out. =( And yeah teching gets them out of it but I've literally...

It's true that they can just sit there and wait but you can also release the smash immediately while they're on the ground. That's the only part where prediction comes into play. Most of the time you do this they will immediately try to get up off the ground by either rolling behind or...

yeah if you time it badly then you will, of course, get hit by the get-up attack but the idea is to charge your fsmash until just the right time so that doesn't happen.

Falco's fsmash has enough range that you can still hit them while standing out of reach of their get-up attack.
