    How to Play Neutral As Falco?

    Falco's grab is versatile. Up throw being the best for combos at early/mid percents. I'd say understanding your jump height variations is key to connecting your aerial combos. Generally, Up throw at early percents requires a simple full hop to follow up with an aerial. Up throw at mid-percents...

    You Guys Think Falco Is Slept On?

    Falco definitely has a huge learning curve, but I personally believe he has the potential to be a top 20 character in this game.

    Q&A Ultimate Falco: Gameplay & General Discussion

    This is interesting because in my experience, lasers give me a reason to not approach sword characters. It can be frustrating for them at mid-range(just outside of their burst range). It makes them have to choose to shield or jump since they can't reflect or absorb lasers. With this threat at...

    Q&A Ultimate Falco: Gameplay & General Discussion

    As far as buffs are concerned, I am hoping for the following: -Nair hitboxes that makes sense -Bair having quicker start-up and slightly longer sweetspot active frames. -Any sort of laser lag reduction -Horizontal hitbox increase in either his forward or up smash. ANY of these would drastically...

    Falco Matchup thread

    Ok so let's get in to what I consider to be Falco's worst matchup out of the entire cast. In fact it's so bad that it doesn't matter how high level you play with Falco, any player with half a brain can make life hell for our precious bird. If you are unfortunate enough to encounter this...

    Q&A READ BEFORE POSTING -- Yoshi Question and Answer Thread

    @chipndip when dealing with disjoints in general, your goal is to force your opponent to whiff their moves in anticipation of your approach. As well as closing the distance between their disjoint and their body. Yoshi's shield is a special case because you won't have to worry as much about it's...

    How do you guys deal with strong disjoints?

    https://smashboards.com/threads/read-before-posting-yoshi-question-and-answer-thread.466265/ I'm going to answer your question, but I'll post the response in this thread since thats what it was made for.

    Why Do You Main Yoshi?

    Even though I don't main Yoshi in Ultimate, he is undoubtedly my favorite smash character by far. I love his blissful, happy personality. He plays so fast and unorthodox compared to any character in the game. I remember being a young kid when melee came out, and always wanting to play as him but...

    Falco Matchup thread

    So lately I've been really focusing on Falco's match ups against top tiers, and I'm working on making plenty of detailed posts. I really enjoy Falco and I want to make his worst match ups tolerable with community input and theory-crafting. I live in Michigan's upper Peninsula atm so I don't have...

    Q&A Ultimate Falco: Gameplay & General Discussion

    IMO Falco has his best options complimented on Pokemon Stadium, Battlefield, Smashville, Town and City, and Kalos Pokemon League. The lower platforms on all of these stages allow Falco to shark the opponent without landing on the platform. Falco can also land on the top platform of Battlefield...

    Q&A READ BEFORE POSTING -- Yoshi Question and Answer Thread

    I'm trying to list Yoshi's kill confirms so I can better formulate my neutral and understand how to condition my opponent during the match. It would be a great help if I had some external input from those who might be more creative and/or understand smash more than I. I'm looking for set ups...
