Well, he was higher on the list than Snake and Pikachu, that’s for sure, but they both got buffs anyway... Falcon could use some buffs, very slight ones. Raptor boost armor, spike and hit all working consistently would be a great for instance. Buffing dash speed and jab/ grab range would be...

Man, even Fatality doubts Falcon's potential in the competitive scene. He's said as much on Twitter. - Him having the 2nd fastest sprint doesn't really matter. Falcon rarely has the space to get to a sprint. Between moving from platforms or opponents controlling space, sprinting is...

You can RAR/ AC bair after d-throw > SH FF nair for some cool situations. D-throw, SH FF nair, RAR/AC bair, f-tilt - does like 40% and puts them at disadvantage, low to the ground. Really good time to follow up with SH dair, SH FF nair1, etc. Or after the RAR/ AC bair, go for the regrab...

To put it simply, when you want to kill the opponent at a mid %, throw short hop fast fall n-air1 out to set it up. Assume it’s going to hit and begin to buffer the follow up. To put it technically, use it when the opponent is on/ near the ground at disadvantage or as a punish/ whiff punish...

Well, we'll rarely CONVENTIONALLY gimp Sonic because of his incredible recovery and tendency to recover high. Immediately that says two things. Firstly, we'll often have to blast zone him. Second, we don't chase him off stage UNLESS we can kill him from there. So, in general play good...

I don't think this needs its own thread, but no one is here anyway so WHO'S GONNA STOP ME?! Rapid jab at the ledge makes it almost impossible for Chrom to recover. Why does this silly **** work? Chrom's upB does not have a hit box on the way up. Because of this, he can be gimped by well...

Throwing out the fabled double post. Nair1 at 55-65% kills just about any character. Nair1 > SHFF uair > FH knee. If you don't have the room, just do nair1 > knee.

You'd usually fish to SH nair1 when you're trying to convert into kill (nair1 > knee, nair1 > up B, nair1 > dair). It's good as a ledge trap/ on tech chase if opponents whiff get up attack, or as a whiff punish after fox trotting in and out of an opponents range. I'm not 100% sure, but I...

Smashboards has always been a great resource for smash related info. But looking at the Falcon boards... There's nothing here, not a template, very little info, sparse activity, it's in disarray. I'm requesting temporary moderation privileges or help from active mods so we can create/ organize...

There's also a technique from melee that works well called "tomahawk" grabbing. It's basically just an empty jump in to a grab when you land. Theory is they're waiting for shield pressure and they never get it.

When in doubt, hold A. Falcon's rapid jab may as well be his idle animation.

I land D throw>knee pretty consistently on the big bodies, Bowser, D3, etc. But falling u-air should be your go to for true combos to the knee for sure (try FF u-air>u-tilt>knee).

Well... I don't know the right way to say this, but f-smash on a shield is objectively bad, @Comet7. I think the only character who wouldn't have an answer to that is Luigi, and that's if he's slow to punish. If you like to do it, that's awesome. Break the meta.

Did someone just recommend f-smash on a shield? Guys, please don't do this. Deal with projectiles deliberately if the opponent is just spamming, ie walk > perfect shield all the way to Falcon's dash grab range. Just wait here in shield, do nothing and observe, then get out. Consider it...

They make it sound so simple lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYWXCTKKDV0 My neutral game revolves around (extended) dash dances and fox trots, empty short hops and aerials that occupy/ threaten space I think the opponent wants (pretty much covered by @teluoborg). Most importantly imo is...
