Is it because of Falco's ability to shine into combos vs. a very combo-able character like Falcon? I'm not very good so sorry if it's a relatively basic question. Well the answer is fairly simple, to be honest The fact that Falco has a projectile that's much better than Fox's is one of the main reasons. It completely stops momentum because it's a projectile with a knockback, and Falcon's ability to control a match comes from his superior mobility. If you have something that takes away from or limits his mobility, then Falcon has problems with the match up. Not to forget stuff like Falco's Dair and Nairs beats Falcon's approaches most of the time. | ||

People use "pillaring" to refer to the combo, but it's actually the shield pressure string that holds the name. thanks for clearing that up. makes sense why they'd call the dair-shine combing "pillaring," though, or why people would think that that's what pillaring is. | ||

And lasers aren't even as good anymore. Plus 90% of the cast is designed to kill you because the PMBR hates spacies so much. Falco got a dicking in the transition. | ||

On the Falcon vs Falco thing -- lasers nullify a lot of Falcon approach options, so unless you're doing some crazy movin' it's much harder to set up your combos. Plus shine as a single frame response to anything that's not a real combo (out of hitstun) is very strong. | ||

Easily the worst of the top tier cast (as someone mentioned earlier) and Falco's real strength comes from his sick combo game and stage control with lasers. It's really good.
