Socal will always be better in crew battles though. Norcal got the best top 3 atm, but Socals skill goes way deeper like even top 20 is really good.

I learned a lot of small things about TOing yesterday in regards to seeding and even streaming events with commentary.

Also I'm really bad at dealing with being camped. I need to not lose my cool while being camped and being baited into bad approaches. Oh well.

It's true that Socal has a deeper line up, but I've been watching the foundry...
and it seems like most of Norcal players are not that far behind. Norcal players do well against PPU, SFAT, and Shroomed.
I think it is the lack of participation from most Norcal players in tournaments.

Hopefully, there is a Norcal vs. Socal crew battle at NCR, and maybe it excludes the Gods.
Plus, Alan said he trying to get a round robin with only the Gods in it. That will be hype.

well in the commentary at the foundry someone (i forget who) stated that norcal's top 3 actively sandbag at those tournaments

While Norcal won the last crew battle, Socal's top 15 or so are clearly deeper than Norcal's top 15. Norcal's top 3, or 4 if you include Lord, can definitely hang with Socal's best, but Norcal's 5-10 range is certainly a bit weaker right now. On the other hand I'm pretty confident that Norcal's 5-10 > any non-Socal region's 5-10.

But even that's changing! I think Norcal has a lot of people who have the drive to get better. Laudandus is improving super fast, Toph is playing much more consistently, Bizzarro Flame is actually getting even better despite spamming dair/utilt/warlock punch in every non-important set, L is starting to get more consistent... I think gaR / Delphiki / NMW (hi) are also constantly improving their game. (and I hope Leon is too, but it doesn't seem like he's playing that much atm...) And that's just the ranked people. Ralph, Anson, Nhat, and a bunch of other slightly-below-ranked people are also gonna be major threats soon.

I do hope that the longtime ranked guys (Brandon, Jeff, Sheridan, etc) can show some tangible improvement soon--not to say that they're not amazing players, but I think they're sort of plateauing.

Sweet!! Make sure to say something to me when you come! The next event will be on Feb 28th. btw. It conflicts with shots fired which is kinda sad but oh well. I'm going to make an event page and post it in the local melee groups later today!

I'm back with another Falco tech question.

In this match vs Wizzrobe at Apex, how does PPMD do the jumping shines to chase Wizzrobe on the platforms as demonstrated from 4:17-4:21? I've tried to replay it over and over to analyze it, but I can't tell if he's wavelanding onto the platform and then shining, or jumping into shine and then landing.

jumping into shine then doublejump wavelanding

it's actually a really basic falco thing, it's how you get the stupidly long combos with falco

Hey Headshot, I had this problem a few months ago.

You just have to shine then waveland (in place, generally). But the shine should be such that it hits the opponent on platform but not at the position where you're on platform, just slightly below.

Watch this video at this time - It goes in detail explaining how to shine waveland

I thought I had watched every Falco tech vid on YouTube, but I guessed I missed that one. Thank you, guys! For some reason it never occurred to me to just waveland in place the second jump after a shine. That makes so much more sense.
