Lol, as flawed as online is it still has some impact on the discussion, though small. Squirt's utilt effs Falcon up too.

In fact, it is quite easy to do. As soon as squirtle is released, simply dash grabI'm I the only one who disagrees with squirtle being easy to grab? I think it's one of the harder chaingrabs to pull of as I usually see squirtle in the air and when he's on the ground a well timed jab and ftilt make shielding a bit harder to time.

Me neither. Some of the PT mainers here didn't/don't even take it seriouslyI dont understand is why these PT players are acting as if their somehow superior, even though CF has been consistantly doing better than PT in tournaments
If I decided to face you, I'd rather do it offline. I'll tell oyu now, I am not the best PT on the boards, so me representing PT and the PT boards on a match for this matter would be a bad idea. Steeler, Pokemon Maret IRL, Reflex, or some of those guys, they would be ideal.revising? you can't tell me you are in a big advantage if any >_>
and I'm willing to play all who want just message me your fc and I'll add you and brawl you asap
(can't brawl tonight, but def tommorrow.)
and if you say wifi doesn't count..that's kina nonsense imo, but in that case, I don't know how we could 'revise' this matchup..
huh, what makes you think that someone would come here and tell who they've beaten after a tourny :/ our board must be full of posts like that..wich makes me think..if PT and CF had clashed in a tourny at one point and the PT had won, why didn't we hear anything about it?If I decided to face you, I'd rather do it offline.

Here's another question. We all know CF and PT tourny appearances are rare in tournies. But I know in places there has to be that clash somewhere. Supposed out there we do have 2 people of "equal skill" fight each other and its PT v CF. You really confident that CF will win? Also why havent we really heard about it yet if CF is really better than PT? I would expect some1 one your boards to have competed in tournies and fought maybe 1 singe decent PT or even a good one, and if he won I know he would be here telling us up.
if thats directed at me i must say, how dare you sirnot worth posting considering I think everyone still considers CF the worst guy in the game and PT maybe only 2 characters above him. =/
Also, what do you want us to say about this thread? You want us to argue as best we can just so our words can just be tossed asside from IMO arrogance. IMO it looks like your mind has already been made up as to who would win in this match up and thats Falcon.
No, I mean actually grabbing him. I'm sure the CG isn't that hard with practice but I mean't actually getting a chance to use it.In fact, it is quite easy to do. As soon as squirtle is released, simply dash grab
(a small error in your timing could make him able to neutral a in time though, but it's still not hard imo, but I did practice it)
arrogance....no :/not worth posting considering I think everyone still considers CF the worst guy in the game and PT maybe only 2 characters above him. =/

Nah it really isn't that hard imo, even when he's sliding around and stuff.No, I mean actually grabbing him. I'm sure the CG isn't that hard with practice but I mean't actually getting a chance to use it.

i can ruin my own concept..^wow you guys just ruined a funny concept^
Good Job!

You won't be able to grab a good wario, and if that was enough to make matchups in wario's disadvantage, then most of his matchups WOULD be disadvantaged.Ok, so i can see PT having a disadvantage... but... really that big????
Dam it... i was used to people who understimated ivy (who btw i think has a near neutral matchup against wario)... but now i can see they have no respect for the zard neither...
Oh, and i have one word for them:
GRAB RELEASE
ok i know thats actually two words
yeah, if that was the case falcon would be at an advantage... CG up to 50% ot a knee is like 0-70 in less than a minuteYou won't be able to grab a good wario, and if that was enough to make matchups in wario's disadvantage, then most of his matchups WOULD be disadvantaged.
But, that's not the case
first thing i saw was that "water gun can gimp our recovery"I read through your synopsis of the pokemon, nice job on doing your homework, but I find it look like CF has virtually no lag. CF is fast, yes, so is squirtle.
Squirtle has good airs. CF imo has decent. Even though he has a spike, theres a slight chance you would spike a squirlte alot.
Ivy, has razor leaf and down tilt, so he can space and if you think of Falcon shorthopping(cuz flacon is so manly his short hop is enormus) we can snipe you from the sky with vine whip. and if that fails we stil got bullet seed. Ivy's Nair is beastly and we can follow up with F-tilt for a good combo. Sure we have a sucky recovery but I think ledge guarding would be about even. Ivy or CF, depending on position could ledge guard the other. Ivy with his invincy frame recovery thing that I'm still trying to perfect(aka TL's Z-tilt with hook shot). CF can up B up and kill us if we are at a stage like FD.
Charz has flame thrower which can space falcon. We also have rock smash which comes in handy in alot of parts in matches when he is out. his jabs are good and his grab is imo one of the best in the game. its quick. not to mention we have a spot dodge- Dsmash capability really easily. however our other 2 pokemon cant do it as well. if spaced right we can tip yall with Bair flame tail, that has a decent knock back.
Mainly falcon Punch, either yall know how to use it ot yall have to get lucky if yall land those things. Knees, you unless you know that hitbox, you get lucky, falcon kick; quite fast but pretty sure can be countered with flame thrower and razor leaf. OOO and another thing I just htought of. a fully charged water gun could trump yalls recovery. side B recoveries, I'm still thinking of ways to get around it, or if i cant I wont persue if I see that the chances of Raptor Boost recovery is high.
I htink that is it.
at most i'd give you squirtle for the match up cuz he is light.
Situation:any good falcon will recover from UNDER the stage, to prevent said gimp.
yes, if you manage to land it PERFECTLY it would give you more time to edgehog, but a watergun alone will not kill a (good) falcon.
silly, you dont recover under when its CHARIZARDSituation:
Squirtle B-throws you off the edge. You are facing away from the edge, where your up-B's horizontal distance is severely cut.
=???
Situation 2:
You are recovering against Charizard. You go below the ledge. You begin upB -
oops, charizard spiked you with his ubermassivedisjointedD-air
:[
hmm..yes. I can land quite some falcon punches but that doesn't make the matchup better for falcon as it stays an incredebly risky move.I read through your synopsis of the pokemon, nice job on doing your homework, but I find it look like CF has virtually no lag. CF is fast, yes, so is squirtle.

SH AD's (DI'd away from you if needed) or..wow I know something to test :DI got a question Knee? if we camped yall with Razor leaf, how would yall approach?
Nah, if a flubbed knee takes care of a razor leaf, we could SH flub knee>lagless landing to get through the leaves.well even if you kneed the razor leaf it leaves you open for punishment like a upsmash and for some characters at 50% or a little more a un charged upsmash will do the trick. =D
If you think you can dodge roll like some people think, you will just get bullet seeded. A person who can use razor leaf acuratly could follow you in the air and hit you with it. To me Ivy is like an anti aerial gun. you get in the air, with the right chosen moves then you are shot down.
Edit: g2g ttyl.
how about

Maybe you guys should try using a calculator....wouldnt it be

?
Fail, just fail. Go back to your own thread and I'll point out why.hmm..yes. I can land quite some falcon punches but that doesn't make the matchup better for falcon as it stays an incredebly risky move.
alright, so I'd say:
falcon > squirtle: 60-40
falcon > charizard: 55-45 (imo, because:
flame thrower can be a pain, I agree, but it is also punishable, as I've seen it used as an aerial approach, wich was easy to counter. As an edge guard, flame thrower can rack up damage dangerously fast, but in this angle, it is counterable with falcon's up b. even though DI out+up b>sweetspot the ledge is safer.
Also, as charizard is a large opponent, he is very sweet kneeable. Even though the knee is quite a endlagging move, the IASA frames in the knee's ending lag make it shorter, not much, but it can safe our lives.
We wont fastfall the knee often though, only to punish baited smashes/jabs etc.
The SH endinglagless knee can sweet spot charizard fast, giving him 19% damage, and its quite easily done in my experience. And it can also KO offcourse.
If it wasn't for the jab interruptions and/or rocksmash, I'd say this matchup was even. But with falcon's speed and moves that seem to work on charizard nicely (SH endinglagless knee and Uair due to charizards laggy Dair for example) I'd say falcon has an advantage over charizard.
and:
Ivysaur>falcon: 60-40
Ivy's bullet seed and some of his arials, his Fsmash (although it has quite some after lag, it can KO nicely and is great for punishing) and razor leaf to force an approach, I say ivysaur is the hardest for falcon to deal with, and has an advantage over falcon.
With a 60-40 in falcon's favor
a 55-45 in falcon's favor
and a 60-40 in PT favor, I say the overall matchup is:
58-42: falcon's favor. (weird number though )
I got a question. I have seen posts from you guys here and there saying "A good Falcon doesnt do ______"55/45 Falcons favor! And a good falcon wont approach with the knee he would punish your mistakes with it.
