With this thread, I hope to inform (new) falcons about falcon's true combo's and sensible movestrings, so they will enter their brawls with (more) knowledge about when to use what move after another, and when are these moves real combo's.
First of all, I will explain the abbreviations you may find in this topic:
SH - Short Hop
AC - Auto Cancel
SJ - Second Jump
FK - Falcon kick
RB - Raptor Boost
FF - Fast Fall
LC - Ledge cancel, this occurs when you end the falcon kick exactly on the edge of the stage, canceling the FK's ending lag, but puts you offstage.
Bair - Back Air - Back (with the joystick)+A while in the air
Nair - Neutral Air - No action with the joystick, just A while in the air
Fair - Forward Air - Forward (with the joystick)+ A while in the air
Uair - Upward Air - Up (with the joystick)+ A while in the Air
Dair - Down Air - Down (with the joystick)+A while in the Air
There are not many real combo's in brawl, but falcon still has quite some combo's that can be very usefull when applied when possible.
I will divide this thread in three categories: 1. Falcon's true combo's. 2. Falcon's sensible movestrings while expecting your opponent not to airdodge (but DI or counter attack for example.) And 3. Falcon's sensible movestrings while baiting+punishing airdodges.
I will start with the first category, offcourse, wich is:
FALCON'S TRUE COMBO'S
jab(>jab)>grab
This combo is essential for playing a good falcon. As the jab is one of falcon's fastest moves and because you can combo it into a grab, the jab is a big part of falcon's game. and because falcon's throws set you up for following up with other moves, so throws can start sensible movestrings, this combo is essential to master/use when possible.
Now follow the Dair combo's. Before we start, you must know these combo's use the form of the Dair where you endure no ending lag from the Dair (this is done by executing the Dair immediatly after your SH)
SH Dair>jab
This combo works at lower percents, and sets you up for comboing the jab into a grab.
SH Dair>up b
This combo works at at the same/a little higher percent as the Dair>jab combo. This combo does very good damage, and has quite some knockback too.
SH Dair>Fair
This combo works at higher percents as the Dair>jab combo. This combo works when the Dair launches your opponent upwards (wich requires them to be on the ground as you hit them with falcon's Dair) and they are still in reach for a SH/Full hop Fair.
SH Dair>Nair
This combo works around the same percent as the Dair>Knee combo. Only this combo has less knockback (even when both of the Nair's kicks connect) wich makes this combo a less good choice as the Dair>Knee combo (as it also does less damage than the Dair>Knee combo)
SH Dair>Bair
This combo also works around the same percentage as the Dair>Knee combo. This combo can also KO nicely, but less good as the Dair>Knee. This combo can be used when you have used the knee often, and the Bair not at all (or not as many as the Knee) so the Bair can KO them better than the Knee would (this is a rare situation, as even an 'unfresh' knee, has serious knockback)
SH Dair>Dair launch
This combo also has good knockback, but again, not as much knockback as the Dair>Knee combo.
SH Dair>Uair
This combo works around the same percent as the Knee, but it also works at slightly higher percent as the Dair>Knee combo works, as it has a greater range (above falcon). This move also KO's nicely, and when the opponent flies to high up for you to knee them after the Dair, the Uair is a good substitute.
The SH Dair can make the opponent trip, until when the opponent has around 35% damage. This sets up for other real combo's, as you can hit them in their 'falling down after the trip' animation.
SH Dair>opponent trips>Utilt
This combo does good damage, so when the opponent trips, this is a good option.
SH Dair>opponent trip>Ftilt
This combo does less damage than the SH Dair>opponent trips>Utilt, but when you want to keep your Utilt fresh to use it for KOing your opponent, this combo is a good substitute.
SH Dair>opponent trips>Dtilt
practically the same combo (damage wise) as the SH Dair>opponent trips>Ftilt. If you have to choose between these two, you can pick the one you prefer.
SH Dair>opponent trips>falcon kick
This combo also does qute good damage, so is a combo to consider when in this situation.
SH Dair>opponent trips>up b
This combo does really good damage. This combo is a good option when this situation occurs.
The next section will cover the combo's possible when you hit the opponent with the first hit of the Nair (FF the Nair) at the last moment possible. These combo's are possible at any percent, as the first hit of the Nair has set knockback. (Idea and findings of the FF Nairs combo potential by face124)
FF Nair>up b
This combo does great damage, and it can KO the opponent at higher percents.
FF Nair>Dsmash (only seems to work on samus with the testing done to date)
This combo does quite good damage, and it can KO the opponent at higher percents.
FF Nair> SH sweet Knee (only seems to work on samus with the testing done to date)
This combo can KO the opponent nicely.
FF Nair>Nair
This combo does quite some damage, but with the findings to date, there seem to be better options.
FF Nair>RaR'd Bair
This can also KO the opponent nicely, and is easier to pull of than the Nair>Knee
FF Nair>jab
This combo sets you up for a jab(>jab)>grab combo, wich can infict quite some damage, and set you up for possible follow ups after the throw.
FF Nair>Uair
This combo is quite hard to pull off, but when it connects, it does good damage and has quite good knockback.
FF Nair>Ftilt
This does quite some damage, but there seem to be better options after a FF Nair.
FF Nair>Dtilt
practically the same as the FF Nair>Ftilt combo (damage wise) so. This does quite some damage, but there seem to be better options after a FF Nair.
FF Nair>grab
It is better to use a jab(>jab) before the grab, but if you want to grab after the FF Nair, you are able to (and do while the opponent can't escape)
The next section will cover falcon's SH Fairs real combo's. Before we start, one must know these combo's use the SH knee where you don't endure landing lag. This is done by executing the Fair immediatly after you SH. Also note the indications of 'flubbed' (meaning not-sweetspotted) and 'sweet' (meaning sweetspotted).
SH Sweet knee>jab
This only works on tall(er) characters and works only at (very) low percents. But when you pull of this combo it sets you up for a jab(>jab)>grab combo, wich you know the uses of ^_^
SH flubbed knee>jab
This combo sets you up for a jab(>jab)>grab combo, wich is always useful.
The flubbed knee can make an opponent trip until around 35%, wich makes other real combo's possible as you can hit them during their 'falling down after they trip' animation.
SH flubbed knee>opponent trips>Utilt
This combo does good damage.
SH flubbed knee>opponent trips>Ftilt/Dtilt
The Ftilt are practiacally the same move (damage wise) and as they both are not able to KO the opponent, you can choose wich one you prefer if you have to choose out of these two combo's.
SH flubbed knee>opponent trips>up b
also known as the YESZ! combo. This combo very does good damage.
SH flubbed knee>opponent trips>jab
This sets you up nicely for a jab(>jab)>grab combo, wich is always nice.
Now the combo involving a falling Uair:
Falling Uair>jab
The falling Uair combo's into a jab at lower percents (must hit opponent with the first hitbox of the Uair, or RaR the Uair but then you must buffer turnaround the jab). This combo sets you up for a jab(>jab)>grab.
The next section will cover the Bair's combo abbility, As the Bair AC's, you don't nesscissarily have to SH+execute it immediatly for it to combo.
Bair>jab
This works at low percents if you sweetspot the Bair. If you don't sweetspot the Bair, this works till some higher percents as when you do sweetspot it, but it does not make too big of a difference. This combo only works at lower percents, but it sets you up for a jab(>jab)>grab.
Bair>Ftilt/Dtilt
As Ftilt and Dtilt inflict the same amunt of damage and are both unable to kill, they make the same combo with the Bair (in theory). If you have to choose from these two combo's (Bair>Ftilt and Bair>Dtilt) you can just choose wich one you prefer.
The following section will cover the FK's combo abbility, using the LC. The LC is situational, as it requires the edge of the stage, but when you learn the positioning of where you have to stand in order for the FK to LC, you can actually implement this into your game, although still situational, offcourse). Also keep in mind that hitting something with the falcon kick slows it down, wich effects where it will end, wich in turn effects if you end on the edge.
For these combo's, you have to hit your opponent with the last hitbox of the falcon kick, and use the Aerial (depending on the combo you use) immediatly.
FK>LC>Nair immediatly
This combo works on lower percents, but is very situational.
FK>LC>Uair immediatly
This combo works on lower percents, but is very situational. The Uair after the LC does more damage than the Nair after the LC, making this combo the better option out of the two, unless you want to keep your Uair fresh for KOing with it.
FALCON'S SENSIBLE MOVESTRINGS
For this second section, I am going to try a different format, based on wogrims idea. This will show all the sensible follow ups after each moves that sets you up for following up with another move. Keep in mind, these are not real combo's, thus escapable. These are all about prediction and experience ^_^
the notation is like this:
set up move - possible follow up move(s) (wich are seperated by a slash, so the slash means 'or')
then each of the follow up moves are individually listed under eachother.
then:
follow up move - follow up move(s) of the follow up move (again, seperated by a slash)
etc ^_^
This first part will cover the follow ups falcon's Dash attack sets you up for. These move strings are meant to get your opponent offstage. Falcon's gimping game will be covered in another move string section.
Dash attack - Dash attack >Uair/Fair/Nair/Hyphen smash > Uair/Fair/Nair

Falcon's Bthrows best/only use, is to get opponents offstage at high(er) percents when you grab the opponent near the ledge, but you are facing away from the ledge. So, The Bthrow is a setup for falcon's gimp game, wich will be covered in the offstage section.

FALCON'S SENSIBLE MOVE STRINGS WHILE PUNISHING AIRDODGES
I will start with this section soon ^_^ I will also start working on the detailed explaination of each movestring (without punishing airdodges) soon ^_^
First of all, I will explain the abbreviations you may find in this topic:
SH - Short Hop
AC - Auto Cancel
SJ - Second Jump
FK - Falcon kick
RB - Raptor Boost
FF - Fast Fall
LC - Ledge cancel, this occurs when you end the falcon kick exactly on the edge of the stage, canceling the FK's ending lag, but puts you offstage.
Bair - Back Air - Back (with the joystick)+A while in the air
Nair - Neutral Air - No action with the joystick, just A while in the air
Fair - Forward Air - Forward (with the joystick)+ A while in the air
Uair - Upward Air - Up (with the joystick)+ A while in the Air
Dair - Down Air - Down (with the joystick)+A while in the Air
There are not many real combo's in brawl, but falcon still has quite some combo's that can be very usefull when applied when possible.
I will divide this thread in three categories: 1. Falcon's true combo's. 2. Falcon's sensible movestrings while expecting your opponent not to airdodge (but DI or counter attack for example.) And 3. Falcon's sensible movestrings while baiting+punishing airdodges.
I will start with the first category, offcourse, wich is:
FALCON'S TRUE COMBO'S
jab(>jab)>grab
This combo is essential for playing a good falcon. As the jab is one of falcon's fastest moves and because you can combo it into a grab, the jab is a big part of falcon's game. and because falcon's throws set you up for following up with other moves, so throws can start sensible movestrings, this combo is essential to master/use when possible.
Now follow the Dair combo's. Before we start, you must know these combo's use the form of the Dair where you endure no ending lag from the Dair (this is done by executing the Dair immediatly after your SH)
SH Dair>jab
This combo works at lower percents, and sets you up for comboing the jab into a grab.
SH Dair>up b
This combo works at at the same/a little higher percent as the Dair>jab combo. This combo does very good damage, and has quite some knockback too.
SH Dair>Fair
This combo works at higher percents as the Dair>jab combo. This combo works when the Dair launches your opponent upwards (wich requires them to be on the ground as you hit them with falcon's Dair) and they are still in reach for a SH/Full hop Fair.
SH Dair>Nair
This combo works around the same percent as the Dair>Knee combo. Only this combo has less knockback (even when both of the Nair's kicks connect) wich makes this combo a less good choice as the Dair>Knee combo (as it also does less damage than the Dair>Knee combo)
SH Dair>Bair
This combo also works around the same percentage as the Dair>Knee combo. This combo can also KO nicely, but less good as the Dair>Knee. This combo can be used when you have used the knee often, and the Bair not at all (or not as many as the Knee) so the Bair can KO them better than the Knee would (this is a rare situation, as even an 'unfresh' knee, has serious knockback)
SH Dair>Dair launch
This combo also has good knockback, but again, not as much knockback as the Dair>Knee combo.
SH Dair>Uair
This combo works around the same percent as the Knee, but it also works at slightly higher percent as the Dair>Knee combo works, as it has a greater range (above falcon). This move also KO's nicely, and when the opponent flies to high up for you to knee them after the Dair, the Uair is a good substitute.
The SH Dair can make the opponent trip, until when the opponent has around 35% damage. This sets up for other real combo's, as you can hit them in their 'falling down after the trip' animation.
SH Dair>opponent trips>Utilt
This combo does good damage, so when the opponent trips, this is a good option.
SH Dair>opponent trip>Ftilt
This combo does less damage than the SH Dair>opponent trips>Utilt, but when you want to keep your Utilt fresh to use it for KOing your opponent, this combo is a good substitute.
SH Dair>opponent trips>Dtilt
practically the same combo (damage wise) as the SH Dair>opponent trips>Ftilt. If you have to choose between these two, you can pick the one you prefer.
SH Dair>opponent trips>falcon kick
This combo also does qute good damage, so is a combo to consider when in this situation.
SH Dair>opponent trips>up b
This combo does really good damage. This combo is a good option when this situation occurs.
The next section will cover the combo's possible when you hit the opponent with the first hit of the Nair (FF the Nair) at the last moment possible. These combo's are possible at any percent, as the first hit of the Nair has set knockback. (Idea and findings of the FF Nairs combo potential by face124)
FF Nair>up b
This combo does great damage, and it can KO the opponent at higher percents.
FF Nair>Dsmash (only seems to work on samus with the testing done to date)
This combo does quite good damage, and it can KO the opponent at higher percents.
FF Nair> SH sweet Knee (only seems to work on samus with the testing done to date)
This combo can KO the opponent nicely.
FF Nair>Nair
This combo does quite some damage, but with the findings to date, there seem to be better options.
FF Nair>RaR'd Bair
This can also KO the opponent nicely, and is easier to pull of than the Nair>Knee
FF Nair>jab
This combo sets you up for a jab(>jab)>grab combo, wich can infict quite some damage, and set you up for possible follow ups after the throw.
FF Nair>Uair
This combo is quite hard to pull off, but when it connects, it does good damage and has quite good knockback.
FF Nair>Ftilt
This does quite some damage, but there seem to be better options after a FF Nair.
FF Nair>Dtilt
practically the same as the FF Nair>Ftilt combo (damage wise) so. This does quite some damage, but there seem to be better options after a FF Nair.
FF Nair>grab
It is better to use a jab(>jab) before the grab, but if you want to grab after the FF Nair, you are able to (and do while the opponent can't escape)
The next section will cover falcon's SH Fairs real combo's. Before we start, one must know these combo's use the SH knee where you don't endure landing lag. This is done by executing the Fair immediatly after you SH. Also note the indications of 'flubbed' (meaning not-sweetspotted) and 'sweet' (meaning sweetspotted).
SH Sweet knee>jab
This only works on tall(er) characters and works only at (very) low percents. But when you pull of this combo it sets you up for a jab(>jab)>grab combo, wich you know the uses of ^_^
SH flubbed knee>jab
This combo sets you up for a jab(>jab)>grab combo, wich is always useful.
The flubbed knee can make an opponent trip until around 35%, wich makes other real combo's possible as you can hit them during their 'falling down after they trip' animation.
SH flubbed knee>opponent trips>Utilt
This combo does good damage.
SH flubbed knee>opponent trips>Ftilt/Dtilt
The Ftilt are practiacally the same move (damage wise) and as they both are not able to KO the opponent, you can choose wich one you prefer if you have to choose out of these two combo's.
SH flubbed knee>opponent trips>up b
also known as the YESZ! combo. This combo very does good damage.
SH flubbed knee>opponent trips>jab
This sets you up nicely for a jab(>jab)>grab combo, wich is always nice.
Now the combo involving a falling Uair:
Falling Uair>jab
The falling Uair combo's into a jab at lower percents (must hit opponent with the first hitbox of the Uair, or RaR the Uair but then you must buffer turnaround the jab). This combo sets you up for a jab(>jab)>grab.
The next section will cover the Bair's combo abbility, As the Bair AC's, you don't nesscissarily have to SH+execute it immediatly for it to combo.
Bair>jab
This works at low percents if you sweetspot the Bair. If you don't sweetspot the Bair, this works till some higher percents as when you do sweetspot it, but it does not make too big of a difference. This combo only works at lower percents, but it sets you up for a jab(>jab)>grab.
Bair>Ftilt/Dtilt
As Ftilt and Dtilt inflict the same amunt of damage and are both unable to kill, they make the same combo with the Bair (in theory). If you have to choose from these two combo's (Bair>Ftilt and Bair>Dtilt) you can just choose wich one you prefer.
The following section will cover the FK's combo abbility, using the LC. The LC is situational, as it requires the edge of the stage, but when you learn the positioning of where you have to stand in order for the FK to LC, you can actually implement this into your game, although still situational, offcourse). Also keep in mind that hitting something with the falcon kick slows it down, wich effects where it will end, wich in turn effects if you end on the edge.
For these combo's, you have to hit your opponent with the last hitbox of the falcon kick, and use the Aerial (depending on the combo you use) immediatly.
FK>LC>Nair immediatly
This combo works on lower percents, but is very situational.
FK>LC>Uair immediatly
This combo works on lower percents, but is very situational. The Uair after the LC does more damage than the Nair after the LC, making this combo the better option out of the two, unless you want to keep your Uair fresh for KOing with it.
FALCON'S SENSIBLE MOVESTRINGS
For this second section, I am going to try a different format, based on wogrims idea. This will show all the sensible follow ups after each moves that sets you up for following up with another move. Keep in mind, these are not real combo's, thus escapable. These are all about prediction and experience ^_^

then each of the follow up moves are individually listed under eachother.
