Falcon is your main if: - You like walking up slowly - You like Down Smashes - You like giving Hax horrifying flashbacks

[@jdp7938]

YO! DID HE JUST WALK UP SLOWLY... AND SPIT FACTS?

[@Grakkis]

+artrimiks not really but he's beaten several players he never touched with falcon now that he has fox.

[@arfank199]

+artrimiks he did win a major (Do You Fox Wit it?) and has taken sets off of Mang0 and M2K, along with taking Armada to a game 5

[@arfank199]

+artrimiks he is a top 5 fox player and a top 20 player in the world. If he enters a lot this year (he didn't last year because of hand and sleeping problems) then he could be a top 10 player

No feeling beats playing Captain Falcon when your at the top of your game. Its complete bliss and you feel invincible.

[@LimeCultivist]

I can't moonwalk so I'm not ready for falcon yet.

[@SSBMTutorials]

i cant moonwalk either. not very important for falcon

[@LimeCultivist]

SSBM Tutorials It's important to style! But no, I know that in reality it isn't necessary.

[@bluetannery1527]

+Lmsln how to play falcon: moonwalk

[@Vyrophyl]

Moonwalking is somewhat important, it adds the ability to go deep offstage for a backair and is one of the quickest ways to grab the ledge from the other side of the stage. It also serves well as a movement mixup. People greatly underestimate how usefull a good timed moonwalk can be, although extensive use will get you punished. Captain Falcon is all about movement, that is his main strength, saying that a movement option is not very important for Falcon is saying that shine is unimportant for Fox and Falco. Kira, pls

[@TruthAndReconciliation]

It's not essential but if you watch high level Melee, Falcons occasionally use it to cover more distance. I can't remember any examples off the top of my head though, if that indicates exactly how unimportant it is. Just another mix-up approach, which is exactly where Falcon's strength lies anyway so it's definitely useful to a degree.

[@SquattingxBear]

N0ne should be on the famous players list.

[@Vyrophyl]

It's funny that so many people act like they can win a major, when it's just 6 ppl in particular

[@maqar0n]

Not anymore, Wizzrobe won Smash ‘N’ Splash 5

[@malcolmhisky6665]

2:09 That Falcon kick is just as hilarious as Ike's failed recovery from off of the map

[@ayubious]

Just starting to get into melee as far as competitive/technical-wise, and C Falcon is definitely one of the easier for me to practice advanced techniques.

[@ninjay345]

you know you have to do one of these for sheik, jigglypuff, peach, and ice climbers too right? i love this series of "which character are you?" videos in particular, i can't wait to see those other characters. these are super well done, look nice, informative, the works. good job man.

[@SaltedMallows]

I want to get into mele but other than it being an older title theres no online multiplayer, I dont know any locations to go out and play mele with the community and id rather do it in the comfort of my own home, which is why I hope for mele HD remake with online multiplayer and no combat rebalance.

I was waiting for this video for so long

[@LloydFreakingIrving]

you forgot to mention n0ne at the end!!! He's by far my favorite falcon :(

[@satchelsguitarshop]

+LloydFreakingIrving n0ne is the most stylish falcon in the world, except for maybe Jeapie. S2J's falcon is so overrated

[@LukeMM95]

I love n0ne's Falcon too. Sadly though he said on twitter that he's getting carpal tunnel playing Falcon all the time so he may have to play more Ganondorf.

[@satchelsguitarshop]

LukeMM95 That sucks. Oh well, his ganon is hype too

[@LukeMM95]

Owain FireEmblem Yeah his Ganon's cool but I only really like Ganon in small doses. His Falcon seemed to fit his playstyle perfectly. Also why do you say S2J is overrated?

[@mikehawk8385]

+LukeMM95 he says s2j is overrated to be contrarian

[@ultra_paradise8436]

+OfDaSouth ya

[@MaiBeUploading]

+Eternal Blasphemy how can you not it's so hype

[@Iriscience]

Red Blaze X Just doesn't fit my playstyle I think. I main sheik but I also enjoy fox/falco.

[@elim9054]

Captain Falcon is your main if: - You suck at wavedashing - You're good at dash dancing/moonwalking - You like tech chasing - You like dittos - You want to survive to 200%+ on Dream Land

[@saucetown222]

Survivability only 4/5? Falcon is literally the hardest to kill in the entire game. (KDJ vs Gravy)

[@OfDaSouth]

Well that can be chalked up to a combination of Falcon's survivability, the fact they were playing on Dreamland, and that Marth has basically no way to kill someone except for a raw Fsmash at that percent.

[@raize7209]

So how did KDJ manage to take 3 stocks off Gravy without dying himself first?

[@SSBMTutorials]

+Kevin O'Malley Definitely not the hardest to kill lol

[@saucetown222]

+SSBM Tutorials He is gimped very easily, I exaggerated a bit at "hardest to kill." He is very heavy and a fastfaller and lives FOREVER on dreamland.

[@FlatHeadScrewDriver-d6g]

his recovery doesn't sweet spot the ledge,he's a fast faller and dream land is a counter pick.

[@vito7011]

please more of those "Are you a .... Player", videos. :3

[@Soleryth]

Please, whats the sound effect used at 0:23 that plays at every begining of the videos ?

[@janamohr448]

I know this is a very specific request, but could you do one on the Falco/Peach matchup? I main falco and secondary Peach, and on both sides I have a lot of trouble with it. As Falco its not too common to have to go against someone with better combo game in the matchup, and combined with how floaty she is it makes it really combo her. On the other hand as Peach, it can be very hard to deal with lasers getting rid of your float, and recovery, and it makes it almost impossible to approach. I know you covered the combo game aspect of peach vs fast fallers, but its the neutral that gets really hard for peach.

[@pykeproductions]

Do you plan on doing these for the whole roster, or just the high tiers?

[@DarkMatter500]

Can you do a *Are You a Roy Player?* :) Awesome video like always.

[@VenclaireVR]

On the power part: Dsmash is surprisingly strong for killing

[@Mad_Ice_King]

J E A P I E B O Y Z

[@jemo9389]

nice video :D. we need a peach one!!

[@cuwuz3447]

my body has been waiting for this

[@TheDasErdinger]

1:00 "loses to high priority moves." Pretty much every move in the game, aside from Fox' f smash and a few others, lose if they are "outprioritized". That means that they deal at least 9 damage less than the other attack, resulting that you "clang" and the other attack will just go through it and hit you. That is all that "priority" means.

[@Nowel22222]

There's more to it than that, but I get your point

[@TheDasErdinger]

OliverNOW Yeah, I know. I just wanted to point out, that priority in melee isn't what many think it is.

[@muskls6877]

what kind of gamecube controller do you use for such control?

[@CodyRockLee13]

Hey Kira, you plan on completing this series eventually, right? Or just the competitively viable ones? Or just the top 8? Or what? :o

Kira you should one of these videos on samus. I believe she is a high tier right behind falcon.

[@djsketch7208]

You should do are you a Gannondorf main.

[@mymetalcat]

So after a long time practicing with Falcon, I can moonwalk, scar jump, walljump recovery, l cancel all of his moves, ledgedash and I can even sacred combo good. The only problem is the ledgestall. I can do it, but not consistently to the point of constant invincibility. Guess I have to keep practicing.

[@mymetalcat]

A_DutchGamer Have you tried using the bunny hood in training mode and 1/4 speed? Then gradually increasing the speed and without the bunny hood? That's how I did it anyways.
