Short Hop Double Laser

 Falco’s short hop laser from Melee has been tweaked for Brawl. Performing the technique is just like it sounds; first, short hop by gently pressing the X or Y-buttons, then press the B-button twice. Pressing the B-button too fast will result in two lasers being fired just above the head level of most characters. To fire one laser at roughly head level and the other even lower takes practice. The timing requires a slight, almost unnoticeable, delay before firing the first shot after short hopping. One method that may allow you to find the timing easier is to short hop using the control stick, leaving your right hand free to focus squarely on finding the timing. Using lasers frequently in a match is an important aspect of Falco’s game because it helps prevent move decay and it can rack up bits of damage on the opponent that can add up in the long run. Falco can also use the lasers to turn around in midair by gently holding the opposite direction he is facing on the control stick while pressing the B-button. Each laser does between 2-3% damage. |
