Falco fighting styles?

[JKoss]

For all Falco users, share your techniques here.
Me, I usually spam the dair until my opponent accumulates so much damage they fly a little high up in the air and then I dair, uair, or wait on the ground and do an upward smash.

mostly my main kill is near the edge. downthrow, shine, jump and dair spike  

[ArcVyse]

SHL and Pillaring is the way I go.

no kidding, thats why i switched from fox to falco.......falcos so much more easier to get better with and im too lazy to try to get better with fox lol

I learned about the "downthrow, shine" move when I was fighting a COMP fox. Now I use that move a lot...  

[Devil_Angel_Dante]

i ues his down smash move to knock him in the air thin i ues his up smash move to finsh him ha ha ha ha falco kicks a**

ok, first off the downthrow and shine doesn't work if you're play against someone good cuz they could tek as soon as hit the ground.

the best way to use falco is to do short hops and use gun, wavedash, dair with L-cancel, and anything else that mixes with that perfectly.

I like to jump into the air, then fall over my opponent and hitting B to use reflect. Works great. I also pull of Falco's fire attack in all different directions. They key to that is starting the combo, then pointing the control stick in the desired direction. I sometimes use his kick attack, but mostly use the above tacticas and then all smash attacks.

That's just you're technique it's not the best for everyone.

My style with Falco is to forward+b my opponent first then wavedash behind them. Following that up with a combo of his fast smash attacks, after that I go for another dash and do it once more. I'll do that and throw in some normal aerial moves to confuse them and go back to a wavedash to distract them. Afterwards shoot them a bit. Finally get them into the air and use Falco's jumping skills to send them up and off screen.

I voted "all around" because you have to adapt your play style depending on who you're fighting. But my strategy generally focuses around SHL, Pillaring, and SHFFL'd Nairs

I'm guessing shine, jump cancel, D-air. I can't think of any other way for Falco to "shine spike".

Adaptation is key to Falco because of his versatility.

When playing slower, less agile opponents, overpower them with your speed. Execute quick combo moves over and over again to deal them a lot of damage until you go in for your finisher. Knock them back and forth with Falco's speed, strength, and agility. Short hopping combos are great against the slower characters, so if you're good at short hopping you can do so.

Against faster characters it becomes all about technique. Use all of Falco's good aspects, his high jumping skills, his fantastic aerial play or even shining and shine-cancelling.

Lol, I wrote that when I was terrible, and thought that a Shine spike was shine>dair.
