They would have full access to all their attacks and the ranges of their attacks, as well as their spacing options via dash, jump, etc. Consider a character in neutral position. The overall number of options available at any given moment for any character in Melee, even within a fraction of a second, is so overwhelming that it almost seems excessive. At any given moment, a character only has access to a certain space and range within a certain period of time (game timings, frames, human reaction time, etc).
However, although late into Melee’s life and metagame, the advancement of Falcon is now being pursued scientifically by passionate players under what has been aptly named The 20GX Movement.īefore we look into Falcon and his strengths, we first have to consider the two underlying factors of competitive play: space and time. “They’re not gonna get anywhere falcon sux” – Hax on 20GX Falcon’s place in Melee’s metagame and Falcon’s metagame itself remained relatively static and unexplored, and Falcon’s reputation as a competitive character remained underrated and misrepresented. The Melee community was left with the precedent that Falcon’s limit had truly been reached. Despite Hax’s renowned efficiency with Falcon, Hax still had holes in his punishes that relied solely on getting the correct read or covering the right option. Hax, who was undisputedly the best Falcon in Melee’s history, left Falcon in favor of Fox and stated that he had pushed Falcon to the limits of the character despite trailing directly behind the 5 Melee Gods at that time. However, Falcon holds the reputation of being a stylistic and crowd pleasing character that relies heavily on reads and multiple option coverages to see success in a competitive environment. The Falcon players themselves have an enormous amount of creative flexibility and tools for opponent manipulation and conditioning available due to Falcon’s inherent speed and synergized moveset. “Falcon’s sick, and if you are going to lose at least don’t lose by being a lame dash dance camping ****o” – S2Jįalcon has always been known for being a fast, aggressive, and glass-cannon character with powerful combos and finishers. This article was put together to challenge the mainstream view of Falcon, clarify the philosophy and ideas behind the 20GX Movement, and suggest their provocative idea that Falcon is not only a viable character, but the best character in Melee. Hello! My name is Victra, a Falcon main from Alberta, Canada.
