uh darkrain is a better falcon now? he's the best falcon (aside from maybe mango) in the current metagame and he's smart as hell. his spacing is amazing and you probably wouldn't know it until you played him. that being said, I'm talking about if the current darkrain played what isai was like a while ago, seeing how isai doesn't play melee anymore and hasn't for a while.
He lives about 7 minutes from the genesis venue, and he sat at home playing yahoo poker with other people on smashboards to spite them instead of going lol.
He was just as dominant then as he was now, it really doesn't matter what character he uses, as long as it is either fox, falco, puff or falcon he's the best in the world. As far as I know only 3 people have taken a set off him when he uses these characters, and darkrain is not one of them, but ss is.
this was back when darkrain wasn't that good very much. but yeah, he's a monster now being like about 4-5 years later! Darkrain FTW! :D! Isai is good too!
So fucking funny to watch isai spend the whole fucking match trying to chaingrab/tech chase while DR tries to get something started for a combo. This old videos are awesome lol
ya it doesn't take much to own somebody with captain falcon. my favorite thing to do in melee is cancel somebody's tech by doing regular punch. it ownz!!!!!!
Isai always uses that same name tag and both of them always use those colors. Unless youre unfamiliar with the game you should be able to recognize them both right away. But if not Isai is the Blue and Darkrain is the red
that was a reply to someone else's comment i forgot who though. they said somethin else that happened at 2:16 besides the 2 missin their knees and i told them i didnt get wat happened
People are taking this vid seriously? Come on, Darkrain plays nothing like that today. He'd either be an even match or better than Isai today considering that they go to the same tournaments and darkrain always places higher.
Isai said himself that he doesn't like melee so he never takes it seriously. It's still pretty hilarious how Isai still does so well when he doesn't even try.
He generally tries in teams. Although, he doesn't play often still. Last weekend he teamed with Lovage and was like "we gotta get at least third" and they did. Then he broke out 64 in the back yard and raped.
And I made my point a long time ago. Being told that one or two more character can Moonwalk (which they can, but not to a useful extent) doesn't change my point or the validity of it.
First of all 7 out of 26 is almost a third of the roster. I would call that slightly significant in the least. Second of all you are the one who brought it up and then turned around and said you dont care. We they were just saying you were wrong and continuing on the discussion. Its not like its about you or anything.
Ok fine. But lets just be realistic for a moment and realize that the only character who actually gets recognized for moonwalking is CF. I simply responded to a claim which said "most characters can do it" which is clearly false. And I stand by my statement that I don't care if other characters can because we all know that only CF players really utilize it on a consistent basis.
Wouldn't it be awesome though if everybody could do it? Melee would by far be the silliest game ever. Not like it already isn't, but with universal Moonwalking...I wouldn't be able to watch a single match without laughing!
Melee is quite a good game compared to it's newer counter part now. It's actually a good game overall, atleast it has depth, also, Link would probably use moon walking too but, I don't know, I havn't seen a Link player utilizing it much.. =/
if u rlookin at his backward slide thats called moonwalking a as u can say more effiecnt way than wavedashing check out SS and he does it alot u can put it in so much good uses as for example if ur oppopnenet is haning on a ledge moonwalk backward and ur fair it shud hit the opponeent also giving captain falcon momentum for a high UP B i would reccoment it but i find it hard to use for me ._.
it's not exactly more efficient than wavedashing. In actuality it doesn't have that wide of a scope of uses. but it does look mad sexy when falcon does it
Don't you have to delay the thirk A attack to not do the multi-punch? I just got the game back in July, not enough time to master any one character based on what I've seen (though my brother can already do 4 multishines).
My god, this video is so hilariously bad in comparison to now. I realize it's hideously old and such, but it's so funny to watch Darkrain spam poorly spaced knees and to tech towards Isai over and over again. haha
"My god, this video is so hilariously bad in comparison to now. I realize it's hideously old and such, but it's so funny to watch Darkrain spam poorly spaced knees and to tech towards Isai over and over again. haha"
It's called mind games you idiot. And I bet either one of them could whip you hard; both back then and now.
Hahah, it's not mindgames, it's just not good playing. Nothing about spamming badly spaced attacks and teching in the same direction is mindgames. I'm not mocking either player, it's just funny how much gameplay has improved. Both players are extremely good now, especially Darkrain. What relevance does my playing have to do with my observation? I don't understand why everyone has to take every comment so personally.
It's not bad just...it's not as good as they are now. How's that. Fact is Darkrain has improved drastically and Isai...well...Isai is still Isai with his sandbagging. :P
