Why did they nerf him so much ? he was so fun when i played melee

Character just got fucking owned by the shitty new engine, that's all

Falcon brought to many autists to Smash

he just cant unga bunga dashgrab like he could in smash 4 and also got some of his combo tools (footstools, upair and f/dthrow) nerfed.
Also, why would you put effort on Falcon when you can play Memedorf and get easy wins?

I also watched Zero's new video OP

this guy gets it
falcon has not moved properly since melee
it's actually insane how slow he gets as soon as you press the jump button

I tried playing ultimate online for a few nights, felt the cancer growing, went back to netplay and haven't looked back since
pichu is fun offline tho but movement in ultimate are more gambit and muscle memory than responsive reaction

i dont watch videos of bad smash players

This, any game where Falcon’s grab doesn’t combo into knee or up b is a trash Falcon. 64/Melee/4 Falcon grab you and at does fucktons of damage or kills outright.

If he had a better initial dash and a nair was as big as ganon's beneath him he'd be perfect.

Also don't forget that ever since brawl dash dancing has been removed too, once again because sakurai is a hack. In meles you can interupt the dash animation with another dash in the opposite direction, which gives falcon the ability to weave in and out to bait and punish with his absurd speed. From brawl onward a dash is a commitment on thw ground for an overwhelming majority of the animation. """"""""""""""""Dash dancing"""""""""""""""" brawl onward is either wiggling in place like a retard or sluggishly foxtrotting back and forth because sakurai is a fucking shithead hack.

>le dair spam knee guy has to actually endure end lag for once
Fantastic. Hope it stays that way and you faggots actually think before throwing out aerials

>thinking falcon's aerials have lag at all

Thanks for showing us you're an absolute retard with no idea of why Falcon is so unfun.

Falcon is the most fun in Wii U/3DS. Falcon isn't really that much worse, he just plays in a convoluted way in Ultimate (compared to dash grab -> up air chain)
Melee falcon is garbage offstage, and the knee isn't as hype

smash 4 sux lmao melee falcon is the best cuz he's fast like f zero gx

Falcon just isn't as fun since the removal of proper dash to jump momentum. It's kinda like how Yoshi is now without Double Jump Cancel and what it enables. Yoshi used to be perhaps the most unique character in the game but now he's kind of just another all rounder.

>the knee isn't as hype

Because knee frame data has been nerfed to shit since brawl

The knee may technically not be as hype in melee, but it certainly is more stylish and more versatile

Honestly, he plays more like melee than ever. It’s the lack of momentum in the game that gimps him. Falcon used to get so horizontal. You would force people into position and the next move followed. Now, their DI and falcons fixed jumps/anims cripple all his moves intentions.

Just like Falcon ;-;

Why does Sakurai hate air momentum?

Must be ZeRo

I feel like they forgot it moving to brawl and don’t have the balls to admit it.

The real problem is it’s a game wide issue. They can give just him momementum... but that seems unfair. Or they can give EVERYONE momentum... and everyone else is now broken.

It's one of my two big problems with ultimate, the other being the knock back starting too high but scaling slowly so you can't really follow up on a lot of stuff.
Air momentum honestly could solve parts of my problems with knock back.

I play Falcon in melee and I like him here. It's just that his combos are more obtuse unlike Melee's where they can either be complicated or not depending on your opponent tech mixups and DI tendencies. In Ultimate the complication comes from the fact that his combo tree is more restricted.

But that’s because of lack of momentum. In melee you can hit and launch someone and get to where you want to hit them with any of like 5 moves. In Ultimate, you have to wait for percentage windows, and if that window flies by then you have

>From brawl onward a dash is a commitment on thw ground for an overwhelming majority of the animation

Literally nothing wrong with this.

The problem is this was instituted across the board so that anyone could pick up the game and do some damage and get a good follow up opportunity. It’s like an auto combo button. Huge active frames, hit box, knock back, travel. In melee there was no such standard move. They did the same to grab, and most people’s move sets have been simplified to basically have the same effect. The roster move sets have been made generic.

I wish Sakurai would bring back tripping.

Gottem

When you start fighting opponents that know how to crouch cancel, comboing with Falcon in melee can become as much of a problem as in ultimate. Then again, the restriction in melee is your opponent defense whereas in ultimate it's frame windows and rage. The later is more noticeable at lower/mid levels whereas the former is only noticeable when you start playing actual top 1000 players.

Sakurai intentionally makes new smash games bad. If another good platform fighter is ever released, someone else will be behind it.

But slap city already exists.

>he can't learn how to wavedash
imagine being this bad

lmao what? crouch cancel certainly makes your defense waaaaaay better, but don't compare that shit to ultimate. Falcon has some of the best tools in the game for breaking crouch cancel with stomp and knee. Even with crouch cancelling your still going to get your juggles into knee plenty of times. Just go watch s2j if you need proof.

Slap City is good but no one plays it.
