  • FALCO CAN CHAIN GRAB FOX AND PICHU!!!!!!

  • i was playing a friend in this and he was using Shiek and i was using Fox, every-time he had his shield up and i did a dair on him, he grabbed me before i even hit the ground... why?

  • @MrJasonekos you are probably starting your dairs too early. do your shffl's as late as possible so it is harder for him to grab you.

  • @StriCNYN3 Are you supposed to do that everytime? Because i always started my dairs as soon as possible... could that be the reason why i have trouble doing shffl's sometimes, because i either don't cancel properly or im not able to use the reflector when i land

  • @MrJasonekos It's best to start your shffls as late as possible, because when you first hit your opponent's shield, their shield is being stunned, and the beginning of a shffl'd attack deals more stun than the middle-end of your attack, which makes the difference between you being grabbed or not.

    Not saying you shouldn't mix up the timing, but doing shffls so early helps your opponent read your attack patterns easier. So throw in some late shffls and late ones too.

  • @MrJasonekos Also, about not cancling moves at times, it depends on what aerial you're doing. For example, Falco's bair finishes its animation faster than his dair, and it cancels itself out before you land, meaning you don't have to L cancel his bair, unlike his dair in which you have to at all times.

    I haven't seen you play, but maybe you're trying to L cancel moves that don't need to be since you said you do shffls asap and are over pressing things?

  • @StriCNYN3 thanks for you're help on why to do Shffl's late. And onto the cancelling; the real move i have trouble with is Fox's dair to shine -- i am inconsistent with it and the correct timing seems random at time, and for some reason i try doing the same timing with a dair to a jab, or down A and it works fine, but for some reason when i try to transition the dair into a shine it doesn't work half the time

  • @MrJasonekos I know what you mean, that still happens to me even to this day. It's all a matter of timing the shine after the shffl right. The time window for L cancling is always the same too. All i can say is remember to hit L/R after attacking and before landing.

  • @StriCNYN3 oh ok, because i figured that i was either starting the shine too early or too late, but after hearing what you said i guess there isn't too much to be done with it, it just gets frustrating when you do a dair and you know you L-cancelled correctly but the shine just doesn't work and your just standing there waiting to get grabbed.Thanks for you help, and ill wait to see whats in part 2

  • Have you uploaded part 2 yet? I can't find it.

  • @TheAnkielFan24 Sorry, I never made part 2.

  • @StriCNYN3 That's okay. Can you make a shine-bair tutorial though? Other than that, I just need practice.

  • @TheAnkielFan24 Actually, I was kinda thinking of making a part 2 of this tutorial. When I finally get my Hauppauge, part 2 will be one of the first things I'll be starting =)

  • @StriCNYN3 Okay. That's good, but I have a tournament coming soon, so can you give me a quick description of how to shine-bair? I can't find how to do it. I need it for fox and falco if it's different. You can send through message if it's easier.

  • @TheAnkielFan24 Oh sure, to shine-bair, just shine -> jump -> bair. It's the same for both Fox and Falco. It's harder to pull of with Fox however since your opponent doesn't fly upward when shined.

  • @StriCNYN3 Ok. Thank you and good luck at Apex even though it started today.

  • Wow this is a great tutorial. I can't believe I haven't watched this yet haha. Great job with this Stric

    -PewPewU

  • Great video by the way, really helped me out.

  • Could you tell me how to do the teching like you did with fox in the target stage?

  • I have a (maybe embaressing ^^ ) question: When i want to upsmash (up --> A NOT smash attack) my Falco always jumps because I tilt up ^^ how do you do a normal upsmash without jumping -.- ?

  • you have a great taste in music sire :) and this tutorial helped alot it thoroughly explained many things i did not know :)

  • @13luewine Haha yea man, can't go wrong with some Toonami, Ridge Racer and Tekken.

    And thanks, glad I can help =D

  • I wanna learn falco, I got short hops l cancels and fast falls down, I can short hop laser fast fall, I can tech, but I'm having trouble with some other things. I can't waveshine or waveland well, nor can I multishine. And I need waveshine to learn pillaring... help?

  •  @Zachattax64 try first to jump cancel (short hop) a normal down + B shine. (down + B --> as fast as possible jump) If you are able to jump cancel it, try wavedashing after pressing X/Y: down + B --> X/Y --> L/R + left/right. If you are good in wavedashing it should be no problem to learn waveshining because you just have to jump cancel the shine very fast then turning into a normal wavedash

  • i still pay this 2011. good tut cheers

  • Awesome tutorial, thanks so much

  • to multishine, its easier if you use your middle and index finger and alt. tap B and X while holding down on the control stick

  • even with Brawl Plus, it still doesn't allow for this kinda stuff, recently gone back to melee and it's so much more fun, especially since Ganondorf is actually fun to use again, but i got to get used to the quick movements and short hops in this game again

  • It's spelled guard :|

    Other than that nice tut.

  • I still think this is a great video. I love Falco but I am definitely at a plateau because I still haven't mastered L-cancelling for air attacks which is a fucking huge deal haha. I'm about as good as I can be until I learn that. Wish melee had online :( I don't want a Wii.

  • Help!!

    I can wavedash a bit, but do i really have to use:

    (X,L,left) and (Y,R,right) or can it be (x,R,left)?

    And do i have to do left/richt, or (right under, left under)??

  • @Fi5hRock5 It's really just how you feel most comfortable jumping and airdodging with, so if you press the X button to jump and R to airdodge, then that's cool.

    and yea, you don't have to hold directly left or right to Wavedash. You can hold diagonally downwards left or right to make it a little easier. Just keep in mind that the more you hold towards left or right, the smoother and further your Wavedashes will be. Hope that helped a little =D

  • Very nice tutorial. Thanks for learning me how to correctly multishine & waveshine. AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE TEKKEN 3 MUSIC :D

    Also: For people who can't wavedash, try working on your timing better and train with other characters first. Fox & Falco are really hard characters to wavedash with.

  • @Dawngaward0110 Glad I could help.

    Haha yes, Tekken music is sooo good!

    And good looking out for the Wavedash help for others =D

  • Damn, i hate my hands! I can only wavedash sometimes but not now!

  • @Pikafan2132 Gotta keep on practicing! =D

  • how to you multishine i cant even jump cancel

  • @mehd0gbRdme

    1st: Jump. (I find the Y button most convenient)

    2nd: Watch for Falco/fox's foot to leave the ground.

    3rd: Shine

    4th: rinse and repeat

    Keep in mind that Falco and Fox has different timings for multishining

  • If you're having trouble... Hold down the control stick with your left index finger. Use your left thumb to push B and your right thumb to push Y or X. Spam the shit out of it in the order BYB, like stupid fast, like "how the fuck is that even suppose to register" fast. Then, once you get the feel of how it works go for BYBYB and so forth and so forth. The trick though is the hand transition.

  • can u help me i just cant l cancel fast fall and short hop and im having a bit troble just short hop and fast fall

  • @mehd0gbRdme You just have to keep on practicing the timing to do them more consistently. You should practice with some of you friends if they play to get the feeling down.

  • @mehd0gbRdme Focus on just l cancelling with normal hop first. L cancelling is most important out of them, and it's hard to get them all at once. Once you can perfectly l cancel with short hop, you'll eventually get fastfall with time.

  • Multishining with Falco is so difficult Lol i need help

  • @PlaguedBrain Haha, i know it's pretty hard, the only thing I can tell you to do is to shine as you see their feet leave the ground. 

  • @isakingvarsson I'm trying to do the same thing. That shine thing just takes too many frames to recover from.

  • do you have any tips for L canceling?

  • Hey im having trouble with falco's wavedash but not with fox's wavedash and when i try to waveshine i try the wavedash and he will just jump even though I hit r. Any tips?

  • @ninjacrusuader I think you may be just pressing R too fast. Falco has a little delay when he starts up his jump. It's not like Fox where he lifts from the ground immediately. So just take Falco's timing into consideration when trying to Wavedash and Waveshine. Hope that helped =D

  • Comment removed

  • You know what's funny? I looked this up for Project M, and it works like a charm.

  • short hop double lasering is so hard....

  • awesome video! loved it, but you're wrong about one thing. Falco has the ability to chain throw. just take a heck of a lot of practice.

  • @nikkie91210 Well, you can't actually Chain grab like Marth or Fox. I guess the best word is to say that Falco's Chain grabs aren't "guaranteed" like those two characters are. That said, I was able to land an Up throw -> Nair -> Up throw combo a few times, but it's very situational and depends on your opponent's DI.

    Glad you liked the vid, too =)

  • Comment removed

  • As a Peach main, this vid makes my thumb hurt...so much tech skill...

  • epic vid. thanks a lot for upping!

  • @aW9Rn =)

  • hey stric, would pro fox/falcos use x or y to jump?

  • @cardstrader I would say so. It depends on what's most comfortable for you, but Y does make moves easier since its closer to your thumb from the A button than X

  • Hey Stric, when doing Falco's double ledgehopped lasers, do you use the control stick or Y (or x) to jump?

  • @smuckers1994 I press Y

  • This video should be renamed to: Why Melee is Better than Brawl

  • @SS4xShinobi lol Melee is definitely better than Brawl, but brawl can be fun at times when you don't take it seriously

  • @StriCNYN3 Yeah, but for me, that's only fun when i'm playing a modded version.

  • awesome tuto dude helped alot

  • Is there a trick to shining a player and jumping after them? It seems when I shine when no one is around I can jump out of it much faster than if someone is on the receiving end of it.

  • This is a great video! Thanks for all the efforts put into it and thank you for teaching. :)

  • Thank you so much for this, coming from 64 to Melee this has helped a lot in the transition (for my Fox).

    A shame you're not going to do a number two. =(

  • Question: Is there anything called a shine-cancel? It seems like some people can do the shine shield way more quickly, in and out of it, than I can manage. Is it just a matter of the finger speed and how quickly you press the "b" button or a matter of being in the air or what? Every time I try to shine spike, I seem to end up killing myself. Thanks for posting this video though. I'm working up Fox right now and my friend Falco. We'll be watching this every weekend. I'd love to see more!

  • @wabitgirl Yea its a matter or finger speed. When you're trying to Multi-Shine, as soon as your foot leaves the ground, press the B button as fast as you can, then just keep repeating it. Hope that helps a little.

    I wish I could make more vids of these, but my pc would find a way to just mess it all up =/

  • @StriCNYN3 Definitely answers some questions. I might be able to actually shine spike now. Thanks. And sorry to hear about the computer. That's really lame.

  • @wabitgirl there's a flicking motion. flick the stick down to shine, but as soon as you press B, flick it back up, and you'll immediately jump out of it. doing it this way (rather than using Y or X) clears up your right thumb for aerials, so you might as well learn the right way.

  • @x8swift8x Ah...that makes sense. Thanks for the tip :D

  • Very nice vid, many thanks. I saw waveshining once in a video and didn't know what it was or how to do it, and so I've been looking ever since. Thanks so much!

  • This video is great StriC

    it helped me start working from brawl to melee tech skill

    I now have all these techniques down (except for multishining but Im starting to get that too) so thank you for this video

  • @CStick26 Thanks man glad I helped out a lot =)

  • BTW this whole tutorial was rape.

    from the music, expanations, and ur rape ass falco.

    u still play?

  • @takeover1806 Yea I still play. In fact I plan on going to ROM 3 and I just put up a little practice vid =)

  • why didn't you make part 2?

    This was really helpful

  • @takeover1806 At first, it was because I didn't have a capture card to record anything

    Now it's because the person I made this for is gone and I don't keep in contact with him, and outta laziness =P

  • Comment removed

  • you rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Awesome video, man

  • i shorthop laser but the lag is double the falling lag and the laser lag am i doing something wrong? Maybe timing?(HELP!!)

  • @Dark0Ninja0of0Chaos

    Keep practicing, man. Try shorthopping, laser, wait a few frames to let him fire a shot, fastfall, then repeat. Maybe you forgot to fastfall. Or maybe your timing is a tad off. I'm working on mine, although I think my SHL is good enough to get by. Gotta perfect that laser, it's an impotant and handy thing to have in battle, man. Miss one frame and the next frame, you could lose one stock.

  • damn i can't wavedash without getting the shield a few times lol

  • @dillon4321

    dont give up. im still learning too. try releasing the shield button a little earlier, maybe thats what I'm missing in my WD

  • best fox tut on youtube :D

    ty man

  • what is tech chasing? i saw u mention that somewhere about tech chasing with fox out of a Shine Oo Shield

  • OH WOW! I never thought of practicing my tech skills on the "Target" stages. Very clever!

  • how do you jump shine and make it so you do it quickly like you do through out the video

  • Sorry to bug you with questions, but I was wonder what is the input to do a d-air or b-air with falco immediatly after you shine?

  • @RubixClan jump+air move

  • Hey! Just two quick questions. What do you use to record your videos? If the device you use is expensive, do you have maybe a cheap but decent quality capture card or something else that might help me record some combo videos?

  • @RubixClan The capture device I used for this video was an Easy Cap, and it was cheap. It was only at least $30-40. The thing is though, since it was cheap, the audio ended up not working anymore. So I recommend you buying a more expensive one, if you want something more reliable. Maybe you should get a Dazzle. I think those are cheap too.

  • @StriCNYN3 Thanks alot man. Do you have any insight on which model of dazzle to get?

  • @RubixClan Maybe you should get a Dazzle Creator Plus HD. It's pretty cheap compared to other capture cards since it's only $70

  • super video de tutorial xD pero aun se me asen dificiles algunos combos de aki y aun mas me ase falta inteligencia con el falco , siempre caigo en trampas tan ovias xD

    ps algun consejo y tampoko domino el cancel .-.

  • theres too much space between the lasers...ones higher than the other

  • I cant get falco's edge double laser right...theres too much between the lasers...any advice?

  • You might be jumping to soon when you get off the edge. Try to wait a half second later than you usually jump off then laser as you go up.

  • falcos wavedash is harder to perform for me. :/

  • can this also work in brawl if not can you post a vid about it

  • @parkourer100 LOLOL IDIOT

  • Nah, most of the stuff from melee was removed from Brawl.

  • Thank you very much for the video, helped me to advance learning and firing and use the L cancel, I'm on the wavedash and get it, but I have a problem ... I hope you can advise me, any advice to avoid blockage of R when ending wavedash.

    Thanks =)

  • I think you gotta let go of the R button when you wavedash or you'll shield right when you finish.

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • i need help with the wavedash, because i press. "Y" and then "L" but falco jump a little (the half of a short jump) and if I press "L" inmediatly after "Y" it doesnt work the "L effect" (inmunity)

    PD: sorry for my bad english but i dont speak english xD

  • @p4w4 Hmm, what you have to do is when you jump (press the Y button or X button), you see Falco getting ready to lift into the air. When you see this, press the L or R button to make him air dodge (Make sure that he is as close to the ground as possible when doing so). Finally, while in the middle of the air dodge, hold the control stick to the left or right to go in any direction you wish to go. This might take a little time getting used to, but you will get the hang of it. Hoped this helped =D

  • Ace be trollin'

  • you know there is no way to play advancedly mainly glitches

  • @AceOfHearts65 and how are they glitches? L canceling was intended and was introduced since the 1st SSB. Wavedashing was already noticed by the creators during testing and decided to leave it in.

  • do u have to fast fall to l cancel? or are they separate from each other? and do u have any tips for l canceling or how to practice it? i cant seem to get the timing down on it or something. otherwise this video is inspiring and amazing

  • Nah, you can fast fall without L-canceling and vice-versa.

    Also, for the timing of L-canceling, It's pretty hard to explain the timing for it. Basically you want to press the L button after you do an aerial (only A button attacks) 3/4 of a second before you hit the ground. It also depends on which character you use too because of how fast they fall. Try using someone like Ganon to get the idea of it first, then use whoever you want when you feel more comfortable. That's what I did at least

  • alright sweet. thats exactly what i wanted to know so thank you.

  • okay first off let me say u r really good!! second id like to say i totally agree with AbelMcElroy. just by watching this vid i hav learned alot!! and all the bad comment u got dont worry, They r just Haterz!!

    great job!!

    ps. can u do a new vid about Captain falcon (hes my fav)

  • Thanks, glad you liked it, too :D.

    Also, those comments have nothing to do with me. They're arguing with some other guy.

    I would do a falcon tutorial, but I'm just not that experienced with him. All I really know about him that sets him apart from Falco is Moonwalking :/

  • Im big into smash brothers and this is the best melee tutorial ive ever seen. good job, five stars.

    ill speak for myself (although im sure im not the only one) and say that i would really appreciate it if you would make some more videos on other characters. particularly captain falcon.

    thank you for the great video

  • Thank you. I'm glad you liked it :)

    But the sad thing is, for some reason, my new computer won't let me put ANY more videos anymore (I still have some more matches with my friend Eggm). If this wasn't the case, I would have gladly put up more parts to this tutorial months ago :/

    I'm just gonna buy a new capture device.

  • Wow...childish comments on a great vid.

    Good stuff Stric. I don't know what's gonna happen this time, but I want a rematch =p. SPOC was not me playing nearly how I should have been, lol.

  • Sorry, I missed this comment since there was so much arguing going on lol, but yeah, you should try to go to Eggm's tunes bi-weekly coming up in a week or 2 =D

  • Now do a Barrel Roll!

  • you're a faggot.

  • So you resort to stalking me in video comments days after I cut you off from Youtube so you can get your last words in? How sad. Obvious sign of butthurt.

    You bitch at my girlfriend telling her to grow up, and then you prove yourself hypocritical by stalking my channel and commenting on a video concerning a game your know NOTHING about just for the sake of proving childish. Grow up loser.

  • lol are you a gay faggot or something? i would PWNWNWNWNN you at smash noobfag

  • @XxIAmRedeemedxX

    huh? what the hell are you talking about, cupcake?

    clear the jizz out of your eyes: you got the wrong man, sweetie.

  • how are things going with that manatee you were calling your gf? I hear she died/e-broke up with you. sux, dawg.

  • -Rojo W-

    =O really good tutorial those multishines killed me, yeah! I feel like Im better now just for watching it =D

  • Great =D

    Oh and are you and Wox the same person, or are you just using his profile?

  • -rojo W-

    wox is my big bro, im just too lazy to make an account, so we use the same profile =D. like i said before nice tuto man.

  • Oh ok and thanks.

    Also, are you, Wox and Boba going to Pound 4? I just gotta play you guys =D

  • it`s imposible xD well no imposible but we don`t have VISA and the principal fact, money.

    U.U

    xD i love your multishines xD

  • Aww man, would have been so sweet to play you guys there :)

  • Excellent video , 5 stars and suscribed XD, when part 2 comes out? :P

  • Thanks

    When my parents fix or buy me another computer.

  • Hi man nice video, can you post the name of the songs because im really hooked up and want to have them on my hd,

  • Here you go:

    1st song-Toonami "Fire Away"

    2nd song-Toonami "Prayer"

    3rd song-Ridge Racer 5 "Euphoria"

    4th song-Tekken 3 "King's Theme"

  • to do the multishine is it better to just alternate between Y/X and B or is it better to slide your finger over the buttons......which is the technique you use?

  • thanks for the tutorial man...this really helped me alot since i left melee for a long time and picked up brawl...but to wavedash dont u have to tilt down diagonally left/right?? and to l-cancel can it be done with the r button aswell??

  • Yeah, you can hold downwards to the left or right too, just not upwards, or you'll just Airdodge. And yes, you can also L- cancel with the R button (I find it easier to use R so I can wavedash out of it faster)

  • well i got my wavedashing down and now to include it into my attacks. Although im having trouble with edge guarding, i can't recover fast enough. So im just going to stick to jumping off the edge and spiking them down xD

  • funny how falco doesnt have a chain grab in melee, but now he has one in brawl!

  • Yea ^^ and Fox has in melee, but not in brawl

  • I appreciate the Toonami beat. Thanks for the great video.

  • semon yo tmb pongo comentarios en español y no hay pex no me awito. Yo uso a falco tmb y soy mashin weno con el y sin ocupar wavedashing

  • I find it a lot harder and less mobility to FastFall Dair with the analog rather than FastFall Dair using the Cstick. I also want to know if I don't fast fall my dair using analog but I do lcancel it and shine, can they still shield grab me?

  • Well, I use the analog because I'm very use to the feel, but yea, I recommend starting off with the Cstick, especially when pillaring, so you can space your Dairs and other aerials better.

    It depends on your opponent's timing, but you will most likely get grabbed if you dont Fastfall after an aerial approach.

  • Not if you L-cancel perfectly. Just use good spaceing when your not sure of yourself. Practice doesn't make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect. Concentrate on specific things that you need to improve on instead of mindless play to get better. Set a goal. You'll be fine.

  • parese k yo yoy el uniko k pone comenterios en espanol pero esta bn

    ese video esta chido men fue bacano ver esos combos pero a intentar realizarlo es mas dificil d la cuenta ._.

  • ??? Wish I knew what that meant.

  • he said: it seems im the only who put comments in spanish, the video its ok, its pretty cool, its nice to see the combos but when i try to do it, i realize its very hard ._.

    ahahah XD

  • seems like i'm the only one who comments in spanish, but it's a pretty cool video, it was awesome watching those combos, but actually doing them is more than hard

    translated4u :D

  • thanks man :)

  • I'm inspired, StriCNYN3. Just yesterday, I booted up my old copy of Melee, but after playing Brawl for so long, I couldn't adjust, and I have up in frustration. This video makes me want to keep at it.

    Who knows, maybe I'll master Falco some day. That'll be a treat... with the skill I'd gain from your video, I'd finally be able to beat my brother at Melee after four years of crushing defeats, and with his own character, no less.

    Thanks again. =D

  • multi shining difficult =/

  • Nice, im working on my Falco. I recently changed from marth to falco as my main. I am learning the basics of pillaring, but my waveshining is kind of slow....thank god its summer. This video helped alot with my double lasers aswell.

  • Falco can't shorthop fastfall double lasers, only Fox can.

    Falco also can't waveshine, as the knockback on his shine DRs and is as a base different than fox's.

  • Comment removed

  • Spread the word :)

  • Oh and by the way dude Technically Pillaring is when you mix up dair to shine comboing to eat away at your opponent's shield lol.

    What you were showing in the video was just a Falco combo. Pillaring doesn't cause the damage percentage to rise.

  • what an appropriate response.

  • @XxIAmRedeemedxX

    your 'girlfriend' is an internet girlfriend. you will never get laid. consider becoming a monk. you're pretty much half way there.

  • Pitiful and stupid.

    That sums up you and your boyfriend below.

  • Has she sent you pics of her disgusting meat flaps she calls a vag yet?

  • No because she has class.

    Your mom did though,

  • The only things she has are childish interests (cartoons, you) and an unwarranted self-importance.

  • Doesn't mean shit coming from someone who asked me for pictures of her vagina. You fail for trying to draw conclusions.

  • I never asked of pictures of her beef. If I wanted to induce vomiting, I'd listen to your fat cow mom sing again.

  • Denial? How sad.

    Stop fantasizing about my mother being a cow and singing.

    Don't hate. You know she sang awesomely.
