Falco
|
|
|
- * This is Falcon's infamously worst match up and for good reason. Falco lasers, while not nullifying, heavily mitigate Falcon's major advantage in his superior mobility. In general, you need to move in and out of lasers, avoid losing what mobility superiority you can maintain by moving well out of laser stun, and killing the bird whenever you get a chance, usually off a stomp, grab, or stray aerial knockdown.

Key points are to jump over aerials that aren't high enough with SH j.5A/nAir or j.2A/dAir as they bring your body upwards. This takes a little bit of time to get to maximum height, which is important as you won't always have enough time to jump over a laser, even if the following one isn't high enough to normally hit you doing this
Don't be afraid to use platforms whenever you're in a bad position. It is difficult for him to chase you on them as, without lasers locking down your movement, you are much faster than him and deadly off an air-to-air stray hit after knockdown %.
Be cognizant of when you shield. Shielding at a bad time can effectively be checkmate as you give up your one major advantage, your speed. Don't let him stop you from moving or even slow you down without earning it
Being able to dash after laser stun is vital. Practice doing it as quickly as possible!

Sheik
|
|
|
- While historically frustrating at times due to Sheik's superior frame data and consistency, Falcon's explosive combo game and superior mobility, both on the ground and in the air, can allow him to dance around her normals and blow her up for calling out his movement incorrectly. Sheik has massive anti-air tilts, creating do not fly zones, so being comfortable whiff punishing using dash grab and crouch cancel to discourage overly eager Sheik mains is vital to unlocking Falcon's heavily aerial based standard gameplan

Using CC and dash dance grab is vital to punishing tilts as they can be extremely difficult to aerial around
Sheik's SH is too high, meaning it is vulnerable to being blown up by a j.8A/uAir or j.5A/nAir if predicted by you
If she refuses to jump or press, run up grab is a huge combo starter for you
Don't forget to place an increased emphasis on preventing grounded approaches when walling. She cannot approach rapidly in the air due to her limited aerial mobility and poor SH. This means that moves that specialize more in covering the ground, such as a low j.4A/bAir, j.2A/dAir, or j.6A/fAir are far more effective than normal as they'd often usually risk being jumped over by the opponent. Additionally, her dash dance is limited, making it more difficult for her to whiff punish these than other characters. That said, she has answers, such as dash block, run up cc, or run t.6A/8A fTilt/uTilt keep those in mind
