Fatality's Captain Falcon Neutral Guide

[@crankyfellow481]

You forgot to mention how to use falcon punch in neutral. Rookie mistake, but I'll let it slide just this once.

[@mylesturpie4602]

Time to watch this 20x in a row until someone finds me in a heightened state staring at falcon dash dance in the lab

[@briangeer1024]

So, jab 1 into holding A is an option select. Nice.

[@NachostheXth]

Quite literally 1.5 A press. I didn't know about that. So you can transition to dash or jump while holding A, I guess

[@GawainSSB]

One thing to be wary of, is it'll do the gentleman on shield too, which can be disastrous and cost you a stock. I recommend just doing double tab and reacting to be honest, I would much rather risk missing a gentleman on hit than take a much higher risk of getting the gentleman on shield.

[@briangeer1024]

I like how the advice against greninja and fox is just “git gud”

[@neby_nebs]

thats basically all you can do with falcon. makes movement in this game fun and actually worth it.

[@Izzy_Free]

Had to get that "Understandable" merch. Been a fan since the old days of smash. Keep up the good work. I'm going back to my roots as a falcon main in this time of quarantine

[@Dep_Ice_Cream]

Gotta hand it to my boy Griffin, he is not afraid to be his true monotone self on camera every time💀💀

[@99ananth]

This is such a great guide, it cleared up my confusion about precisely how to optimally apply each of Falcon's tools in neutral. Thank you for putting in the effort to make it!

Fatality returns! There are going to be so many Falcon guides that I have to watch now because of how many issues there are with this character.

[@Erik_Montesinos]

Nahid Nur sad truth

[@mycoinsyourpurse2244]

He still has hype left 😥 And a great Back Air. But why is his spike the same speed as Ganon's?

[@aestheticcopium2233]

@@mycoinsyourpurse2244 he's known to be a hype monster obv he wasn't built to be a spiker, more like a brutal smash character with the slower but more epic moves you can pull off with him.

Hey fatality, i just wanted to thank you because after applying this I have really felt myself improve so thank you this really helped

[@timvanausdal6293]

I gotta give you props for making both combo guides and neutral guides for falcon. You’re a god.

[@connorheino7343]

Thank you for putting so much work into these guides, I haven't watched one from you yet where I haven't been able to pick up something new to work on. Improves my game overall, not just with falcon.

It has come! The Neutral Guide is finally here!

[@drakesrader582]

the quality and knowledge is unreal lol. thank you for the guide and content

[@jonathancarpenter3076]

This was a well put together guide. I've questioned the effectiveness of being more aggressive with Falcon, or playing a more bait and punish style, so this is very helpful as far as his neutral goes. Thanks for the video!

[@aceescamilla4131]

Thanks a lot for this Fatality! I’ve been struggling a lot in my neutral so this’ll be a big help!

[@garrettgrimm1307]

Thanks for putting the time and effort into this. A lot of the ideas translate to most characters neutral.

[@zabalyro6865]

This is a great guide and I would recommend this as a template of how a guide should be made and/or how someone should think of their options to build a gameplan. I'm not a Falcon main, but this definitely helped me with thought process in game.

[@dingdong1005.]

Mr Fatality coming at us with a BRAND NEW VIDEO !!!

[@justintimefr]

Hi Griffin, I doubt you will see this but I want to say it regardless :) Thank you so much for this whole video! I will absolutely get some merch! I need a new hat (old one's a stretch fit and it became loose after I lent it to my friend) and I've never owned a coffee mug before so this will be my very first one! Much like Smash Ultimate, which is the first Smash game I've ever owned. And you are the main reason I got the game and play it all the time lol Keep up the good work Griffin, I look forward to all of your KZbin content! I wish I could be there more often during your streams but unfortunately I lack the time as I am working full time (yes, even during the virus situation, because I'm a manager at a food chain) Lots of love from Canada, -Justin

[@Kimjoelun]

Step 1: accept the inevitability that you will have to spend hours learning movement tech to fix this flawed character Step 2: ???? Step 3: Profit.

[@Thgrimreaper]

Step 2: knee.

[@GooberKing02]

Although knee seems like a step 2 the answer was obvious - Step 2: show ‘em your moves

Hi my name is Fatality and this is my masterclass!

[@SUPERMARIOGAMINGBROTHERS]

Is nobody gonna talk about how he is talking like an ASMR robot

[@skiddzie9291]

I think he has asperger's, dude. Be nice.

[@SUPERMARIOGAMINGBROTHERS]

He never sounds like that in his streams though.

[@nickc7100]

I think he's just trying to make sure he speaks clearly so people can follow him. He doesn't talk like this during streams, which you probably know.

[@nadia_HOOLIGAN]

I just randomly went to ur videos and this popped up. Great timing!

[@latinajoseph]

This was a great guide. Thank you Fatality. I was a smash 4 Falcon main and could not get used to the new playstyle. it seems like they changed his aerials just enough to confuse the hell outta me. Also Rip Smash 4 dash grab....

[@JTK_99]

This video has really helped me see a lot of flaws I have in my falcon gameplay! Thank you!

[@Stig_00]

Glad to have you back, thanks for the video! Falcon mains, rejoice XD

[@spaghetti6781]

in-depth guide good for beginners and intermediate players and detailed, THX

[@corycane6122]

love the editing

[@eftorq]

I like down tilt a lot in neutral. It has a little longer of a hitbox compared to forward tilt and jab. You also get a good launch to dash grab off. It has a rather fast start up as well, which makes it a good option when empty hopping on someone

Hey man, solid and technical advice here. Love the depth of this guide. If I may mention one thing, have you looked into a teleprompter of some kind? It may be helpful when reading scripts.

[@timoshihh]

missed you fatality!

[@tholama3061]

Thanks a lot !

[@kylefrasca3632]

Nice hats man

[@tenacity25]

Although not really applying to neutral, something I thought I'd note that I'm not sure if people do / if it's good / whatever; I usually like to use raptor boost as a combo extender at early-mid percents. Like, I'll use it to push my aggression after a hit where I can't land a true combo after it, because they might react to me approaching with a falling aerial or something to try to cover themselves and punish me, and then they'll get hit by it and then I'll get an even longer combo off of it. (The superarmor is 100% why I can use it like this.)

[@rashs6302]

[@nomanm.5884]

Never clicked on a video faster

[@GawainSSB]

Falcon Kick I would say can be used a lot like a slightly weaker Raptor Boost in Smash 4. Even the whole pull back at the ledge thing is similar in function

[@andrewgould6689]

i will never stop using up tilt in neutral as a bread-and-butter combo starter at low %. It may not be true but it stuns them and serves them right up in front of you like a volleyball and follows up really well into nair, dair, or can even chain in a really infuriating way at like 30%ish? It's honestly one of my favourite neutral moves. Also down tilt is really good at ledge, it kicks them out just over the ledge and is really easy for setting up dair kills. I also like throwing it into my ground combos because it drops his hurtbox and dodges many jabs and tilts. Everyone loves falcon's aerials but nobody talks about how well his tilts combo into each other or how good he is at standing his ground with them. ALSO Raptor boost combos into up b and nobody talks about it? It's a good 'get off me' and i tend to pull it out when I'm having trouble comboing an opponent as an easy way to chip away at their %. It'll send them above you and almost guarantees to put you at advantage.

[@Moni-qd6pj]

[@ShawFujikawa]

Quite a few typos in this one, maybe could have used a couple extra editing passes? Also would have been nice to see some live fight example clips to visually demonstrate the concepts you were talking about with each character archetype. It’s great that the guide is finally here, though! c:

[@jeremiahprok5811]

Not sure if you're ever gonna read this fatality but you're prolly my favorite smashtuber and are the reason why I main falcon, I'd love to do a best 2 outta 3 with you or sumthin lol, love ya man, get some dubs and continue bein amazing, I'm definitely gonna pick up a hoodie soon!

[@cobaltstar_8281]

I feel like a lot of these tips help non falcon players with neutral too

[@brafy2981]

I've seen a few situations where I've baited a getup attack from ledge with good spacing and punished the option with dtilt. It can kill at higher percents. That's all dtilt seems to be good for

[@woah.1173]

I kinda wanna see a best of both worlds type event where a melee player goes against an ultimate player with the same main as the melee player Example: Scar(melee falcon) vs Fatality(ultimate falcon player) Idk but I find this a cool idea it’s my opinion tho

[@IIIISai]

Bro your honestly a genius, and a God considering your fluent with falcon, a decent character, idk but if you can, are you able to play as pacman or link even more often, because I know your really good, you would maybe be better with a better character and probably would shed some light on these characters too, these characters are alittle underrated and arent talked about too often, ya other than these too, the underrated are Mac and Marth, maybe grenninja

[@Dep_Ice_Cream]

Disliked for no Falcon Punch guide in neutral.

[@poppity445]
