Great guide Fatality. Means a lot to budding falcon mains like me :D quick note: the timestamp for Dair has a typo. You accidentally put a Semicolon instead of a colon
fatality looks much more comfortable talking to a camera in this guide compared to the one posted a few years ago. it makes the guide much better imo. big ups my guy.
I love the top rep of Falcon giving the community everything he knows on the character! Not concerned about competition, just trying to get people interested in the character. The mark of a true man of the people.
It's not like there's a secret formula, anyone that goes to his streams know what fatality does to be the best falcon in the game, and that is practice like a madman and labbing as much as possible. If other people are willing to pout as much time as he does to labbing I'm pretty sure they could get really similar results
@@HELLO-mx6pt I don't doubt that, but at the same time, I assume him pointing out a lot of the more nuanced things in falcon's kit can be quite helpful, especially for the more intermediate falcon players that are looking to up their game, but aren't sure what to do with his kit/how to get more out-of-the-box with his moveset.
@@HELLO-mx6pt they are already people who play falcon as much as him but he's still the Best at the end sooooo I think this is the Guy who are a beast haha 😂
Yes! THAT one! Falcon Punch best move in the whole series. Try change my mind. It does colossal damage. It shows excellent timing skills. It fires up the crowd like nothing else. It does 169% mental dmg to the opponent player. Raises your own moral by +10.
@@SelBoi weeell teeeechnically, while walking you always have one foot on the ground. While running you have periods of time when both feet are in the air ;D
6:08 when you first labelled up smash as being a frame 1 move I was so confused lol That would make Falcon's most ridiculous move into the most ridiculous move in the game 😂
Have you considered doing a “How to flight everyone as falcon” type video where you explain every matchup in the game for falcon or at least the most common ones?
Omg this is fantastic, it really makes me want to play ultimate more. If you ever get a chance, I would love to see a video or maybe a series about how to deal with specific matchups as falcon.
hey, if you put an intro timestamp at 0:00, UA-cam will add chapters to the video, making it easier to navigate. I'll also point out that the down air timestamp is broken
Great guide overall. No offsense, but I'd say to be more specific on what combos into what, as well as showing hothouse on screen to show the stupid. but otherwise phenomenal and it should be really helpful to new falcons
14:45 I like to think Falcon is flexing his pecks super hard. Everytime I hit it, I yell "Flex" but if Falcon sends the wrong direction I say "This is no time to be flexing Captain!"
I stopped following the falcon meta for a few months and they've found a way to make raptor boost positive on shield, and they've called the biggest command grab I've ever seen "Tokyo drift" Yeah, this is the falcon comminity that I love
at 17:48, is raptor boost into knee only "almost" true if you IDJ it? I find it's virtually impossible for me to get knee consistently on my main training partners, as both have 3 frame options (fox shine and incineroar counter). Obviously it ends up being a mixup game if I go for knee and it doesn't beat them out, but I don't want to play that game if I don't have to.
I personally would make falcon punch the side smash and make neutral-B something else. Both side smash and falcon punch serve the same function and can be similarly powerful,
Nah man a 52 frame start up for an F smash is way too much on a character like falcon. You legit would never be able to use it. I rarely use f smash already, but occasionally it is useful when making easy reads. It's not worth the risk to try and make a 52 frame read. And if you meant to make falcon punch 19 frames, that would be too op tbh lol.
@@dennisd.4726 i would also make the falcon punch quicker to make it a viable F smash, basically change his current f smash cosmetically to make it the falcon punch.
And here I was just thinking I was getting GOOD at fighting Captain Falcon… thanks Fatality.. guess I was wrong because now I am gonna get destroyed 😑 😂

This was really helpful

I didn’t know that frames mattered thanks

I try to improve in all ways, which includes public speaking and everything that comes with it, glad my efforts are noticed!
@@FatalityFalcon we appreciate you.

The day of the prophecy has finally arrived: all rejoice in his glory!
You forgot to mention that landing a knee on your opponent inflicts mental damage on them as well.
Yes! THAT one!
Falcon Punch best move in the whole series. Try change my mind.
It does colossal damage.
It shows excellent timing skills.
It fires up the crowd like nothing else.
It does 169% mental dmg to the opponent player.
Raises your own moral by +10.
Did Fatality just told us to "walk up quickly and down smash" ?
Well, run, but close enough...
@@firebal6129 That's like walking up quickly, nah ?
“He did, he really did tho"
@@SelBoi weeell teeeechnically, while walking you always have one foot on the ground. While running you have periods of time when both feet are in the air ;D
@@Bongobongobongobongo Sorry, I'm bad with sports
i like how every move is called by its input title and then you have “The Knee”
The day we have all been waiting for
Bruh honestly !!
6:08 when you first labelled up smash as being a frame 1 move I was so confused lol
That would make Falcon's most ridiculous move into the most ridiculous move in the game 😂
that would be pretty fun tho they should add it into the game
Have you considered doing a “How to flight everyone as falcon” type video where you explain every matchup in the game for falcon or at least the most common ones?
he's made his own falcon matchup chart, which is pretty much what you're looking for, and most of the info shouldn't be too outdated at this point
This is one of the best character breakdowns period. Also, something about watching you nerd out is very comforting lol
Wow, was just looking for a falcon guide on youtube.
As a falcon main myself… weak knee is probably my favorite offstage option.
I wanna see Marss critique this guide lmao.
Marss probably doesn't know what idj is lol
Fatality obviously knows more about falcon, but I'm still curious to see marss's input
@@pastamanhd6251 this is a joke, right?
I will laugh at whatever he says considering he went 10-0 against fatality in the mirror 😂
@@harrisonjacobs2594 Kinda, but I actually haven't seen marss use idj at all when playing falcon so who knows
Balloon: *Floats across stage happily*
Fatality: *Knee*
Incredible guide and the little editing jokes like the frame 1 up-smash and nipple spike were a real treat as well
This is such a good guide! Gonna watch this more than once for sure!!! Thinking of going all Falcon for my first local
Good luck man! Take Falcon all the way!
That double tap jab thing is so useful. Mad I didn't know about it before
Great guide! Cool to see that crouch ledge slip also made it in. It's so good for Falcon in some MUs
Such a great guide, thank you so much! Been waiting so long for this!
Thank you for all the advice Fatality, it really helps us out
Omg this is fantastic, it really makes me want to play ultimate more. If you ever get a chance, I would love to see a video or maybe a series about how to deal with specific matchups as falcon.
Finally a proper guide, not a mid stream q&a.
"Edge Gaurding" ...I love it
I have never anticipated something so much in my life

LETS GOOOOO! UPDATED, UPGRADED, FALCON
Lord fatality I’ve been waiting
Was thinking about dropping falcon to go solo mewtwo, but it appears the sacred texts have blessed me with more knowledge
死亡者 or Shibousha means "People who've died." Guess he wanted to commemorate those unfortunate enough to face off against his Falcon
He is the captain america the hero we all needed.. thanks cap for the guide
FULL GUIDE FINALLY FROM THE MAN HIMSELF
Lets go, An updated falcon guide!!
This feels so fresh in contrast with the last one 3 years ago
FINALLY! The ONLY Falcon guide that should exist
Truly a buffed Falcon guide
I love all the tech names falcon has
2 minutes into this and I'm already learning things.
Was trying to learn Falcon 3 days ago, where was this video when I needed it D':
thank you sensei, ill add another candle to the shrine!
its great to get an in-depth guide from one of the greats but where that juicy ganon guide :P
Thank you Fatality!
The day of reckoning has arrived
Good video I watched and haven’t played falcon more than 3 times
34 minute falcon guide?! Dis gon be good fellas grab ya popcorn 📝
31:47 best part of the video, sweet spot knee the balloon
Yeees finaly a buffed falcon guide thank you your the best 🙂
Falcon crazy
I’ve been waiting so long for this
It's finally here, get innn
How do you do a lot of back airs in a row? Or like. Be facing forward and do a back air?
Great guide overall. No offsense, but I'd say to be more specific on what combos into what, as well as showing hothouse on screen to show the stupid. but otherwise phenomenal and it should be really helpful to new falcons
Thank you for making this 🔥
Fatality: *talks about being difficult to edgeguard when falcon's recovery is "bad"*
Peanut: First time?
"Our grab games is one of the vetter grab games in the game"
My favorite part of the whole video was at 31:46 when this man absolutely annihilates a balloon with knee for no reason 😂💀
don’t sleep on the down tilt to a short hop dair near the ledge! nasty!!
14:45 I like to think Falcon is flexing his pecks super hard. Everytime I hit it, I yell "Flex" but if Falcon sends the wrong direction I say "This is no time to be flexing Captain!"
Thank you! Could you cover ledge trapping in a future video?
14:14 I love how he didn't say a WORD when doing stomp to knee
11:44 -> ah yes my favorite move "Nipple Spike"
My biggest thing is not being able to use tilt attacks effectively and using back airs towards the enemy
There’s a typo for the 13:50 time stamp, just wanted to let you know
OMG, CF's God teaching stuff to mortals 🙌
Petition to make C. Falcon's Upsmash as fast as Diddy Kongs. 📜
I'd have to say that Up Tilt - 4:16 is my favorite spot :)
When I saw up smash was frame 1 I kinda freaked out, then two seconds later it was revised to "frame 22" lmao
ITS HERE
thank you King
My falcon bout to level up
I love fatality
I stopped following the falcon meta for a few months and they've found a way to make raptor boost positive on shield, and they've called the biggest command grab I've ever seen "Tokyo drift"

Falcon Shadow buff confimerd?

Is it just me or does Fatality have a nice way of talking? Also I kinda wanna main Falcon since I've picked him up. (Lucas main btw)
His reaction to falcons b move😂
I main mario but I watch on fatality match and he's making me want to main falcon
7:48 yo did he just?
Les gooooo I needed this
Let's go Fatality!
How do you combo them mid air? I cant seem to perfectly meet them mid air and hit a move in time. Please help
Good shit.
my friend mike loves u

Hi people, what does the minus x on shield means when he's talking about frame data?
At 32:20, whats the order of inputs to output such a quick D-air?

does falcon get any good follow ups off of footstool?
I don't main falcon but I want to support competitive learning smash UA-cam
Time to get good at smash again
