  • Falcon Punch is one of the most iconic moves in the entire Smash series but it has never been known for being a particularly good move in high level play. Out of all of its iterations however, the Smash 4 version takes the cake as being the least effective Falcon Punch has ever been.

    This video made me miss Smash64 Falcon Punch, it was fast, strong, can end combos reliably and can even be used to aid his recovery, heck I even miss the fiery falcon sprite and the explosion sound effect. Good times.

      also ive always liked the way he says it in 64 more. it sounds like he's really putting his all into it in that version.

      I have to give it to the sound department for Falcon Punch.
      It really sounds like it'll leave an impact there, whereas in other titles...not so much.

      I dunno, the move just feels less special when it's something you can reliably land. It just becomes that cool sounding combo ender, instead of the eater of dreams that landing raw Falcon Punch is.

    Remember when Falcon Punch was a *recovery move*?

      Ah yes, the recovering Falcon Punch in 64. Those were the days.

    When you realize that the entire context of the video can basically thrown out the fucking window because this is all assuming you can somehow hit the falcon punch in the first place

    You know a move is good when you can be killed for successfully landing it

    Maybe they thought Falcon Punch would be way more likely to hit in an 8-player match, so they nerfed it? That's the only explanation I can think of. But yeah, back in the Smash 4 days I think I learned from watching a combo video that charging forward smash is Falcon's best raw kill option after a shield break, which is just sad.

    I have returned after quite a while. Sorry it has been so long since my last Smash video. I simply struggled to find a video I wanted to make and I didn’t have a lot of motivation for a few reasons. But I have returned and I hope this video turned out ok. As always, I am sorry that my mic isn’t great. I did change my setup and I made an effort to reduce the background noise in particular but there are still clear downsides with my mic. The good news however is that I am finally looking to properly fix it. I’ve been using the same mic for pretty much all these videos and by next year I will have a new one which is hopefully much better.
    Thank you all for stopping by. If you enjoyed the video, feel free to rate, comment, subscribe and share. I highly appreciate all of it. As always, this is a part of an ongoing series on my channel and I am open for requests, with Brawl being the main game I cover in this series. ua-cam.com/play/PL29Zh-SMStvK92LOoAxd8TgBfrklTn2FA.html&si=ROydbq1ANNv_12ce

    Still in disbelief this nerf was made. Good job!
    If I may request a move, then Ridley's Skewer would be a fun fit for this series.
    It's one of the few blunder moves unique to Ult and it's a shame since it's very cool attack.
    -Sourspots at max-range since the sweetspot doesn't stretch past the sourspot on the spear tail
    -Does jack all to shields
    -Is very negative on hit for the sourspot (-22) and when tipper on a grab immune opponent (-25) after that patch which removed that bury infinite seen in Doubles

    When the ONLY benefit that the move has in comparison to stronger AND faster moves is that it's hype to land, you know that it's really bad. Still hype tho

    Great points. Unfortunately, S4 Falcon Punch jab locks, so it's the best iteration of the move. 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣‼️‼️‼️

    The whole point of falcon Punch is for it to be an impractical option meant purely to flex on your opponent if you hit it.

    • @bigbangbot-SuperSqank
      @bigbangbot-SuperSqank  Місяць тому +7

      Sure but IDK, it being Falcon’s strongest move feels more natural and makes it more satisfying to land.
