Q&A Captain Falcon FAQ and Training Guide

[.Marik]

I'm picking up Melee Falcon as a main, you know.

Knee is just too fun and good.

 

[Faithkeeper]

Will the character guides be more in-depth, or are they just a stage selection suggestion section?

Spoiler

I love alliteration.

You better put up a Falcon icon next to your name instead of Yoshi. =P

Kidding. lol

Lol. But my name and signature would be confusing people.

Besides, the only reason why I play Brawl, is because of Yoshi.

And Falcon dittos.

 

[metashinryu]

but still you should put the char u play down there, your forum preferences is apart of that

 

[.Rance.]

I'm looking forward to the training guide :D. The whole project looks like it will be great, but I really have trouble accomplishing anything when all I can do is play at home by myself. Maybe this will be able to help!

Thanks for working on this Scar!

 

[metashinryu]

im still waiting for that training section T_T

 

[The Last Dragon]

yh, hpe the training section is intense, i've been gettin' bored l8y...

 

[Beat]

Hey, I know me posting in your CF guides is kind of ******** (I didn't hyphenate! I'm learning!) but I figured it was worth mentioning that because you can sorta go under BF and Stadium, the reverse upB is a bit safer in certain situations.

I dunno.

 

[Scar]

IMO reverse upB is always always safer and should be used whenever possible, FD is great for the same reason. you can't go directly under the stage like bf/stadium, but you can sneak up on the ledge due to the stage's curve. DL64/fountain are less pronounced while yoshi's just blows.

 

[GhettoSheep]

scar, when is the training section coming?

 

[KirbyKaze]

How long does U-throw F-air work on Sheik? And when does it start?

Can D-throw do anything practical to her?

What throws and throw follows are most efficient / effective on Sheik?

 

[P.C. Jona]

up throw knee works till like 170 or something... i was playing someone today and they told me that lol

down throw throws her down.. and sometimes if you mindgame them you can up throw to up throw chaingrab then to down throw chain grab if they di into you no?

lol i was doing some of that today..

i dont know

g-reg says between 65-70

 

[KirbyKaze]

I very doubt it works to 170 on DI away and other crap.

It sounds like U-throw is better overall than D-throw aside from just basic mixup stuff... Sheik seems to go too far away on D-throw except at the percents where U-throw doesn't combo, where I suppose the tech chase is probably better.

 

[P.C. Jona]

sheik is ********..

i would jump across fd to knee and i would get ftilted
i would try to stomp and get utilted..

i was recovering from under fd and i wasnt even gonna make it and i got down smashed

so much gay crap coming from her its ridiculous

and then theres her tech chasing non-sense

gaaayyy

 

[DtJ Jungle]

Don't you love it?

 

[P.C. Jona]

are you implying i like gay things?

 

[DtJ Jungle]

No. I'm not.

It was sarcasm. Playing sheik as a fast faller is ***.

Unless you have a blue shiney thingy.

 

[P.C. Jona]

i know it was sarcasm lmao

that was like one of scars super mod posts, did you say is ***? lmao

blue shiney thingy....?

falco vs sheik is pretty fun

 

[Faithkeeper]

scar, when is the training section coming?

I think this should answer your question, these are Scar's original intentions. Needless to say, matchups were not up by mid-April, but maybe he's holding it all back for one big release.

This is my guide to everything you need to know. Your education begins now.
...

The matchup thread comes next. I expect to have it completed by mid April. The training regimen will include a video and will take more time, expect it in May. The FAQs will be completed as i think of FAQs that i can answer.

 

[Mokumo]

Can you ledge tech when sheik edgeguards you with her dsmash?

 

[P.C. Jona]

yea but youll get hit with another one of her little leg swing arounds, make sure you try to tech straight into an up b, if you get hit again, try again, you should be dead tho

 

[Mokumo]

well thats gay

 

[DrewB008]

nah you wanna delay your up b for a second so you go up and over the dsmash

doing it right away just gets you hit again

 

[P.C. Jona]

well ive been able to up-b after the tech and grab her and get the exploding thing going on there

but i think once you get dsmashed your pretty much dead anyways... if the sheik is good you should definitely be done

 

[Beat]

but maybe he's holding it all back for one big release.

That's what she said.

 

[P.C. Jona]

i love your sig

 

[Scar]

ya sry about the delay guys if anyone wants to write up any matchups that would be awesome

ill get to it soon

 

[metashinryu]

how bout captain-link?i have some friend of mine that if gets me offstage is a sure kill even at 0% -_-

 

[Scar]

cf destroys link, if you are getting upB gimped you need to upB later when you are farther down and try to sweetspot

everyone please work on reverse upB sweetspotting, it's really really really useful

 

[Dogysamich]

everyone please work on reverse upB sweetspotting, it's really really really useful

It beats cape.

-laughs-
I still laugh hilariously at ******* who say it "mindgames cape", but yeah, reverse up+b SS. It's pretty amazing. Im pretty sure it gets more points than a Tetris.

 

[DrewB008]

meta, if youre at 0%, just up b over him into the middle of the level. at best link will do like, a 30% combo to you ending with a bair or something ****ty

 

[metashinryu]

ah well thats a 0-death guaranteed combo, nothing you can do about that

 

[DtJ Jungle]

Don't get hit.

 

[KAOSTAR]

Wait did scar say he wanted ppl to work on some falcon matchups?

or was he doing them and saying hell post them soonish kinda?

 

[Scar]

if anyone wants to post something i'd be happy to put it up, i'd rather this be a collaboration than just me

 

[prog]

Captain Falcon is the vengeful soul of Dale Earnhardt.

 

[KAOSTAR]

Ok im in. Ill get on some **** probably this weekend or so.

Start with posting falcon is **** lol.

[HawaiianJigglyPuff]
