This in no way, currently, helps out the Falco metagame.


Falco has always been one of those flashy characters with all those AT's and random cool stuff we, the Falco Boards, discover.

Now the Blue Pigeon has a "new" little dance for everyone.


Pivot Walk Chain Grab

It's essentially what it sound like. A Chain Grab where you Pivot Walk.
It's all flash.

How To:
Grab
D-throw (Hold "A" during the throw animation)
Pivot Walk (Smack the little yellow stick Up-Back-Diaganol)
Release "A"
Grab
(Repeat)
Remember:You hold forward throughout the entire time, until the D-Throw. You obviously gotta hit down.

I don't know the properties of the Pivot Walk on Falco (Certain Characters like Marth and Sonic get a massive walking speed boost). So I cannot answer if it extends his Chain Grab. So if someone can find out that would be amazing.

Also:
If your quick enough you can B-air out of the pivot and reverse Nair. (Hmmmm.....Combos?)


That's all I have right now.

Have you done this or are you just telling us how to do it. I just tried it and it's complicated. not to mention holding a feels weird.

I've done it, just on my brother.
It's hard to do, but it just looks really funny.

And holding "A" is necessary for a Pivot walk.

Oh wow, great idea on spicing up the old boring chain grab with a doop walk haha.

I'm wondering if doing this, will the opponent be able to escape this or is it a just a regular walking cg? I might try it for the lulz xD

it looks like it's escapable every time during the video

@red, if this works people will still complain because everybody will be doing this and it wont be as new as it seems right now.

Wouldn't this increase Falco's grab range ever so slightly?

I don't know very much about the pivot walk, but I was under the impression that Falco's was one of the few that made him move faster than his normal walk (though it was still fairly useless).

I'm gonna play around with this tonight. Hopefully it's possible to speed up the doop walking so that Snake can't get out of it.

wait I thought that snake could pull out a grenade after the second throw to stop your chaingrab

falcos get all the flashy stuff :(
This isn't really especially useful though. All it does is make it easier for you to mess up the chaingrab just too look cooler. There's no real benefit (to my knowledge)

Yeah but he stated that at the beginning. This doesn't advance meta game, except for maybe being a provoking and baiting AT.

Time for me to be a jerk and start pulling these out in frendlies. In tourney I wouldn't risk it cuz I don't want ppl getting out cuz of me messing it up.

Good find regardless of how little it boosts Falco's metagame as you said in the first post...

...it still looks COOL AS HELL XDDDD!

but how likely is it that you're gonna be frame perfect during the chaingrab? is it relatively easy to be frame perfect with the chain?

It's easy to chain grab yes. But if Snake can pull out a grenade you're not pulling it off fast enough. Just like Dedede's Chain grab, if Snake can pull a grenade out then the Dedede player is just a smidget off.

Kinda, but dont worry, the mods should close this off and tell us to use the video thread for it.

btw Where did these mods come from and where were they when we really needed them? Now they're closing thread that are somewhat productive or at least have intentions of being productive. Anyone remember the bread discussions?

Oh, I figured out that you can Bair out of the pivot for a hit, but I don't know what to do after that...
You can pivot Dair, but that just has no purpose, yet.

TommyG I know you have them quick fingers, can you check if you PW-IAP out of this (Combo/Shortened), it just crossed my mind.

Pivot Walk to IAP? in what kind of setup are you talking about? and yes you can pivot walk into iap. If you're asking out of cg, you're better off just IAPing or doing some other stuff.

Yeah I meant off the CG. I just want to see what the flashiest combo is with Falco.

Azua's adding mods to all the rooms iirc. Each character board will get its designated mod. It's weird she chose Mini Mic though since other boards got a regular of the character board appointed.

I pretty sure there wasn't a Falco who was a mod, and if there was, they didn't frequent the board.

No Falco frequenter that I know became the Falco mod. Mini Mic might have have been a lurker iunno, but he's our designated mod now.
