Captain Falcon Stage Discussion Stage 25- Green Hill Zone

[Doggalina]

The main phase of PokeStadium 1 is great for Falcon. I hate the water one because of that windmill. The ground one lacks the space Falcon needs. Grass is good. Fire is okay: It has some space and you can use the wall for wall jump sexiness.

 

[Ayaz18]

aww man do I love this stage it's like Falcon's playground, you can dash away wall jump counter, it's soooo easy to mind game your opponent.

Day 18- Hanenbow

*waits for inactivity*

 

[Wogrim]

I'd recommend avoiding raptor boost, as it seems to have trouble grabbing the leaves. If the water was normal water this level wouldn't be so bad, but as it is you pretty much can't use Falcon's running speed for anything. This level just makes approaching opponents harder, and you need to have a really good dodge game to win on it. Because of the nature of the water, it's not such a bad choice against people with mostly-vertical recoveries. Oh and the fact that the leaves move when you hit them is ********.

 

[Noodlehead]

i know this is stupid but i cant think of anything.if all the leaves turn red a flower grows on top of the tree.

 

[blazefox]

I use Falcon for team matches, so my opinion can be ignored if you like...
Hanenbow is a very tough stage to fight on period, unless your a multi-jump character.
I occasionally have trouble against MK and DDD here.
Overall, I'd say it's a bad stage for Falcon. You'll end up using up-air alot, especially against Jiggs, MK, or DDD. The only thing that might be easier to hit with is the knee, but 1-2 knees of justice aren't gonna change a match unless their both for a KO.

jungles japes suck!

jungles japes suck!

I'm glad we're so positive.

Pokemon Stadium (Brawl)

 

[Noodlehead]

sorry about that i just dont like jungle japes,anyways for jungle japes when i usually get stuck in the water i usually do a uair and then falcon dive to help myself get back up. IMO its a good counter pick for teather recoveries.

 

[Noodlehead]

post count +1
pokemon stadium i dont play alot on.aim yourself when you use falcon dive or youll get stuck under it.
thats all,btw the wind stage is fun

 

[Ayaz18]

well I think that the PKMN stadium (brawl) is a little messed, the moving floors part really screws me up

 

[Red Alloy]

Castle Siege again. If I don't get enough, I'll just put what I have.

 

[Ayaz18]

uhhh....................let's just leave it as "who cares it'll never be a neutral or counterpick"

 

[Red Alloy]

I only list stages that are neutral/counterpick by the stage legality thread at the time of posting.

So...

 

[Noodlehead]

its definitely a counter pick even though no one plays there.

 

[Wogrim]

I'm back so I got a little to say on stuff I missed.

Jungle Japes: ew, although Raptor Boost sweetspotting ledges and not being so suicidal is kinda nice.

Poke Stadium (Brawl): Conveyorbelt phase makes it really hard to approach someone in the middle because of the platforms and the conveyorbelts, and make it impossible to space properly. The ice phase doesn't bug me at all. The wind stage gets me juggled all the time, and if I try to airdodge I don't fall down far enough so I get hit by their next move anyways (aerial Falcon Kick works sometimes, but a lot of characters have UAirs that beat it).

Castle Siege: Nothing further

 

[Ayaz18]

So...

really? the tournies I go to have Castle siege banned

EDIT: then why you add hanebow?

At the time, it was listed as counterpick on the stage legality discussion. Now that the official list is out, I have something more concrete to work with.

Stage 22- Corneria

 

[Noodlehead]

set people up so that you can wall infinite them.try not to get grabbed by falco or king ddd.dont go to low when your in the front trying to recover,you'll end up getting shot.

 

[Iwan]

I kind of like corneria with falcon....if you're going up against a chaingrabbing character you have to stay away from the bottom right portion of the stage, but if you're playing against a character who lacks a wall infinite...you can sweetspot knee your opponent off the "wing" of the ship fairly often.

which is pretty hot.
and also useful.

 

[Wogrim]

The people I've played only pick it because they want to be *******es and wall infinite... pretty lame. Also, the main gun firing off the ship can cause some really ******** deaths.

 

[Hax]

falcon HAS a wall infinite. just use fthrow.

you heard it here first

 

[Wogrim]

I heard that a long time ago, but if I subscribed to The Gayness I'd pick a different character instead.

 

[talkingbeatles]

Yeah... don't tournies usually ban Corneria, because everyone and their mother has an infinite?
also... camping anyone?

 

[Hax]

corneria is probably going to end up getting banned. the left side is a camper's paradise, and then you've got wall infinites on the right side. doesn't get much worse than that. i don't even think it was fair in melee =/ but then again i'm a falcon main, lol

 

[Red Alloy]

I posted a link to the SBR ruleset which includes legal stages. Take a look there and you will find that all stages listed here are legal despite the abuse they can present (Even Hanenbow, albeit for dubs)

Stage 23- Pirate Ship

 

[Noodlehead]

water spike is always good.
when the ship goes up,try to throw them right under(instant kill)
stay away from the lever thing when it starts to go up

my 444th post

 

[Ayaz18]

awesome level for Falcon because of water plus you can CG at the boat's wall when it becomes shipwrecked

one of Falcon's strong levels

 

[talkingbeatles]

I dunno...
Other then the water spike, (which admittedly is really awesome), what else does Falcon have on this stage?

 

[Red Alloy]

Stage 24- Pictochat (Part Deux)

Same deal as with Castle Siege.

 

[Red Alloy]

Well since we all hate Pictochat...

Stage 25- Green Hill Zone

 

[talkingbeatles]

I'm not a big fan of this level. It's easy for the campers to camp even more, and with protection. My knee also goes into the ground (curve of the level) instead of my opponents. Also, I'm not really a fan of the disappearing ground.

On the plus side, the down smash kills pretty well on this level.

 

[SmashBrother2008]

But the disapearing ground does open a window for a raptor boost spike. Other than that, try to control the checkpoint marker and push opponents into the walkoff sides.

 

[Wogrim]

If you or your opponent controls the checkpoint, the other should just wait till it disappears, which makes it not so useful since we don't have any projectiles to camp with. Personally I find it easier to Knee on this stage, assuming your opponent is standing uphill of you, but if your opponent is downhill then most moves will go over their head, which is pretty annoying. I like to stay at the bottom because a mistake on the sides can get you thrown out, and Falcon's BThrow has pretty poor knockback, so it doesn't work for us that well. If someone camps the side though you can try to get a FThrow or DThrow chainthrow.
