The Captain Falcon Q&A Thread

[Reyney]

yes that helped a lot. thx
if i dont forget, ill report how my next clash vs yoshi/jiggs at a lt tournament went.
maybe i can get some replays,too.

 

[teluoborg]

Yeah, and don't forget to abuse SH Dairs against yoshi.

 

[Labernash]

Why is Falcon the best?

 

[Yung Mei]

because i main him

 

[Labernash]

I was wondering why he is in Sexy Tier.

 

[BigLord]

Because of this, Labernash.

 

[PZ]

Because of this, Labernash.

O I always thought it ended with **** HYES!

 

[Labernash]

ohmguh. I understand now.

Would it be a bad idea to drop Wario to main Captain Falcon?

 

[lordhelmet]

Would it be a bad idea to drop Wario to main Captain Falcon?

No .

 

[Labernash]

no .

k .

 

[Darky-Sama]

It's like this...

Wario's Nair > Falcon > Wario.

 

[teluoborg]

Nah, Nair ain't that bad. Bite, on the other side...

 

[Darky-Sama]

Wario's Nair is worse than the bite IMO.
At least in the Falcon MU it is.

 

[talkingbeatles]

Wario's nair is pretty brutal...

 

[BigLord]

Let's just agree that both of them are pretty damn OP, ok?

Also, his dair.

 

[Pktck]

How on earth does Ally do a Uair immediately out of a short hop, like at the speed of a Gannon thunderstomp?
I know someone told me he just moves his fingers really really fast to do this... but I can't imagine how that's humanly possible. Surely there's some trick or finger positioning to make it easier.

 

[lordhelmet]

He probably just hits Y then Up + A

 

[Yung Mei]

or you guys could be boss like me and be like

x->up+r (attack)

 

[Psychoace]

Or you could be even cooler like me and to do it press...

x -> cstickup -> fastfall

 

[teluoborg]

Or you can be the coolest like me and use the side of your index finger to press X and your thumb to press C up the moment you leave the ground.

Or you can simply do as Lux once said : tilt the A stick up a little, and slide your thumb from Y to A. The tilting is specific but you can tell if you're doing it wrong.
If you Nair instead of Uair you didn't tilt it enough,
If you Usmash you tilted it too much.

IMO getting the timing of jump to C up is easier, but every option is viable.

 

[Pktck]

Thanks everyone, I'll try them all out. Much appreciated.

 

[BigLord]

Oooor you could just enable tap jump.

I kid, I kid... I actually have the same problem, Pktck I need to practice that.

 

[Pktck]

Heh. Yeah Biglord, it's a tough technique to get down. i ended up going with Calvo's method, and made L attack. it's working out ok. I found I can't really control my index enough to consistently shorthop so I could do the the X (index finger) and C-stick up method (thumb).

 

[BigLord]

I never use the L button either. Maybe I should do the same as you too, my game will probably improve

I usually just tried to move my fingers real fast, haha... not exactly reliable.

 

[Yung Mei]

>calvos method


get@me ho's

 

[Pktck]

xD Lol Calvo.

But yeah, this actually does help a lot! You can almost always follow up a down throw with this quick Uair, and on taller characters you can use it to approach. It's nice.

 

[Lionman]

i do that with the C-Stick, is easier for me

 

[Yung Mei]

i discovered this method when i learned to dacus with snake lolololololol


then i set y to attack and discovered dash->jump-Falcon dive is awesome

 

[lordhelmet]

stfu all of you

 

[Player-3]

ok .

 

[Yung Mei]

ok .

 

[Lionman]

then i set y to attack and discovered dash->jump-Falcon dive is awesome

Welcome to 2009

 

[Pktck]

I recall Lordy hates that combo?

 

[lordhelmet]

wut .

 

[Pktck]

Dash attack > Falcon Dive?

 

[lordhelmet]

Dumb .

 

[Lionman]

is dash to falcon dive who the hell chains a dash attack to a falcon dive? i want to see that

 

[Pktck]

I've seen some people try it... it ends poorly as a sex kick usually stops it from happening, and only if the falcon dive can even reach the kick.

 

[BigLord]

iirc, I think Lordy hates Raptor Boost -> Falcon Dive, calls it a nooby combo lol. Thing is, it doesn't even work most of the time

Raptor Boost -> Feint Jump(forces an airdodge) -> Fastfall -> Jump again -> Knee/Uair. Eff yeah.

 

[Jelley]

What else does Lordhelmet hate? inb4me
