I hope this clarifies everything for everyone, but i have a feeling it's going to generate more questions than answers. This just goes to show, The pillar is not as safe as you think.

Edit: this is the kind of **** you should quote in the first post.

Far more effective than pillaring, but still not escapable.


the technique blows. It's only good if the other person isn't thinking at all.
Really, the best a falco can do (besides continuously multishining) is mix it up between ideal pillars and early pillars.
any place there are 7 red frames in a row, you are shield grab-able. Meaning if you do a frame perfect Dair after your shine (not too hard to do), he can't grab you between the shine and the Dair. However, he could easily grab you after the dair, but before the next shine though. That's where the mix up comes in. If you think He's going to grab after the shine, do an early pillar. if you think he's going to grab after the dair, do an ideal pillar.
correct me if I'm wrong: A shine out of the shield should always be able to counter falco's pillar (if Fox or Falco does it)
If done imediately after the shine. yes. There are other places it'll be guaranteed to work. Any place there is 6 red frames, falco can, any time there are 4 frames, fox can.



SCOTU's pillar data will not be forgotten. This is so helpful to foxes and falcos. My fox can usmash out of shield properly after learning this.

Original thread he posted this in. I recommend the original thread to everyone who really wants to see the discussion behind it. I decided to create a new thread because the thread below was a year old and I decided not to bump it, besides SCOTU retired.

Oh yeah, I need to learn this stuff. Probably a good idea for other Falcos to take a look too if they haven't already.
