ice climbers definately suck

theyre falling behind in the metagame

sorry andre =/

in other news, i main ness now looooool!
lol yea, i feel it too

they have ok matchups against fox falco falcon sheik but like... theres marth peach ganon and other floaties who are REALLY hard to adapt to and easily outspace ic's like puff/luigi... or samus if u play gay

and even then, fox falco falcon sheik can still easily strategize against ic's

psh chok, unless your like mango or zhu, your falco is gonna get gayed, k ;)

ps we should play sometime in the next week or two
aite lets do it

not weekends pls :)

Apparently I have a cool edgeguarding technique as I've been told. On Yoshi's Island, I did a shine on the edge to a waveland away from the stage, shined below the edge, jumped, walljumped, and spiked a captain falcon.

Ok so here is the deal. ususally i play cf but I am trying out falco. I am noob with him, but I can wavedash, and shuffle most of his moves easily. What specifics for falco do I need to work on. For ex for cf you have to learn combos and using nairs and spacing correctly. What about Falco? One thing would be like short hop lasers. BTW HOW DO I DO THOSE?

Thanks

When trying to dair out of a shine the opponent always seems to high for me to hit on the first jump, but too low on the second, any suggestions?

Lol that isn't asking for advice.
I don't though.

Uhhh, Mango, what's the best way to deal with Jigglypuff's Bairs as Falco? I'm talking Bairs only, over and over and over. You know.

That's what I was thinking, but I'm not sure if Falco is quick enough to get back and Bair Jiggz before she floats away after doing a higher Bair(ensuring I don't jump away or whatever the point of that one is).

I haven't tested it really though, so that should help.

Yes, which is why lasers are only so helpful to me in this matchup. Fair can cause different problems with it's weak hitbox at the end of the move, so I don't know how much good that will do.

i havent fought any of the great puffs with falco before, i mostly use falcon or fox against them

but my strategy in general vs puff is to focus on just getting above or below them, and lasers can help a lot with that. if you just shoot a bunch of lasers in a row theyll have to either land and probably shield at one point, at which you can shield pressure, or they'll have to go up and over and you can get at them from there

it can be really annoying to get at an hbox like puff that stays under a platform while spacing bairs, but i think your lasers can help a lot in making them either move upwards or downwards enough for you to at least get an opening around a bair

So you asking about melee or brawl? The point of jumping is to cancel the lag (so you can react more quickly) and allow yourself to maneuver while firing. Dunno if the lag's really an issue in brawl, though. Haven't played.

What L said xD!

Yo Mango what would you say is the right thing to do out of a d throw? I usually dash dance to a d air, but people have told me d smash or n air/b air is more effective. I mean, if they tech way out, it's obvious to SHL them, but it's a habit of mine to immediately dash dance out of d throw.

And, assuming that I'd like to aspire as a Falco main, what is my best 2ndary choice in your opinion? I have a good doc, but I'd prefer my Falco over him and wanted to know if doc is a safe bet in CPing.
