Oh sorry, I thought it would be quicker to just show it rather than type it all out. So you're saying a late dair in place is a good way to keep fox out? And that it's possible to short hop, react to him running in, and then choose the dair instead of the laser?

Hey PP :) https://gfycat.com/entirejoyousanemoneshrimp This happens to me a lot vs Fox, where I try to establish laser control and they just run up and powershield it and I die. https://gfycat.com/sorefilthyhadrosaurus Later this game I tried to adapt by dairing at him in a similar situation...

Thanks for answering my previous question PP :). Recently I've felt like implementing changes to my gameplay has been difficult. I do a lot of analysis, and I have a list of 500+ things I want to implement into my play. What do you think is the best way to incorporate these new things and...

Hey PP, hope you're doing well. This might be a broad topic, but I'm having trouble understanding how to use Falco's lasers properly to put myself in an advantageous position. I feel like I don't know the ideal ranges I want to be hitting my opponent with a laser. I'm guessing the closer I hit...

Does anyone have any clips of Falco overshooting aerials effectively? This is a concept I can't seem to comprehend. When I try to do this, they just keep running farther backwards, and since Falco has slow movement speed, I still get putspaced and punished. Or they just don't run backwards and...

I appreciate the response. However from my experience, I'm usually sent too far offstage horizontally to dj sweetspot to ledge (maybe I need to DI the throw better?), and shine stalling has never worked, since it just gives them more time to react to my position and restricts my angles of...

Is there any way to mix up recovery when puff back throws you at the ledge? Or can they pretty much cover everything? Feels like there's no escaping bair at that point and dying at low%.

What are the best ways to improve at this game? And how can you actually tell if you're improving? I've been playing melee for about 7-8 months now, mostly on netplay. I'm vastly better now then when I started, but the past 3 months I feel like I just can't tell if I'm getting better. I've been...

1. How does sheik punish people that aerial her shield and land behind her? With falco I could just bair, but sheiks bair doesn't seem to hit people on the ground behind her. 2. What are the applications for aerial needles? I watched some of plup and he would needle in the air and then grab. Is...

Hey can we talk a bit about approaching vs letting your opponent approach? I usually like to be the one approaching because I'm the one dictating how the encounter goes. I feel like as long as I mix up the timing and space my attack well, I should be winning most of the time. But I've heard...

I've heard people say that camping the top platform with Falco is good against floaties. What exactly is the strategy for camping the top platform? Which top Falco's are best at this? Any videos of this being done successfully?

Are there any tricks to timing the shieldstun correctly? Or are there any methods that don't require you having perfect timing? Right now falcos are just running in with dairs and continuing shield pressure until I get shield poked, but a dair on shield should always be a punish for bowser...

Oh so it's about timing rather than spacing? Like there's a window right before he travels where there's no hitbox?

Look at Armada's edgeguard here (he's the red Falco) https://youtu.be/cJcQKl9R8kM?t=800 I thought this was cool so I tried to practice this, but I can't seem to shine firefox consistently without getting burned. I'm not sure if I'm just bad, or this is a really inconsistent thing to do. Is this...

So I'm starting to get better at ledgedashing, but I'm not sure what to do after I ledgedash on stage. I usually ledgedash and then panic roll towards the middle cause I don't want to get hit, but there are times where it's better to just attack right out of ledgedashing, right? When I watch...
