In some areas, his speed has been increased. But, like all characters in Brawl, he has been slowed overall.

****e guys! Tell me if I should make a thread about this.
Okay, do fooling around with knees goodness combo, I thought to myself, why can't I AC a dair, instead of foot-stooling? Well, I tried it out and it looks like I can FHN>ACdair>jab>grab. I don't have a human right now, but it seems like it could work, right?
I know we can only get R.O.B. in the bair lock, but first hit nair, since it has set knock back seems ripe for potential combos. At least pseudo combos... am I right?

I mean, would I post my video in the Falcon Video thread, create a new thread separately, or post this in one of the critque my Falcon threads?

There's some "Rate My Falcon" thread intended for everyone (so that people don't keep making new ones). You can put them there. I put the Falcon Favor stuff in the video thread usually not too long after I upload it (you can put them in before me if you want next time; I just did it for all the ones I got).

Didn't post here in a while but 'found out' something I wasn't aware of while playing Douglas a few days ago... as I say this might be VERY OLD news to all the pro Falcons so I decided to just post it here instead of making a topic.
Short hop dair will always nipple launch people standing on the lower platforms of battlefield, this is actualy pretty cool since nipple launch is actualy a good killer, it also work on the side platforms of Lylat cruise but not the middle one I think. Similarly, full hopping it while starting the move as soon as you jump will always nipple launch people standing on the platform on Smashville.
Sorry if this is super old stuff.

Yeah I use utilt to rack damage a lot so it get stale, and landing a nipple launch like this could actualy get a 'low' % ko if they don't expect it or something.

Like I said before: While there are small things Brawl CF can do faster he is still much slower than in Melee, along with any other veteran fighter.

Falcon Dive is good for opponents above you (like on platforms), but not really useful if you block/powershield an attack by someone next to you. Dair OoS is ok, but I only use it when an opponent is getting up from the ledge, since it beats ledge attacks and can spike them offstage wtih good timing, although it's not that useful. Falcon doesn't really have anything fast OoS that can punish opponents that are close to him.

All I was saying is that beeing fast gets you higher on the tier list than having to use mindgames/possess good mindgame potential, in respondse to wogrim, as he said that mindgames>fast, which I dont agree with

Depends on what type of speed you are talking about. But generally I have to side with Wogrim on this one.
There's nothing to agree or dissagree with, as I am talking about (which was also what it was about, as I understood it) the quickness of moves, as in, when the attacks first hitbox 'appears'.
And having said quickness gets you further than having to use mindgames/mindgame potential.

..Thats why she's higher on the tier list than falcon
so....

I approach with the soft knee all the time. You can use bair, AC dair, nair, and even uair to approach if you want to get fancy. Running a also works.

Mindgame potential can over come if the character is fast. Lolzerz.
& properties of a good move kids, memorize them.

Mindgame potential? Wouldn't everyone have that? Like, some people may underestimate Falcon, but MK is going to intimidate those same opponents. I really think the term "mindgame" is overused and misleading.
And I think bair is Falcon's best approach. Nair isn't bad as long as you use it at maximum range (if you miss, you shouldn't get hit anyway).
