====Double Double Jump====
===Double Double Jump===
Double jump, then do a Falcon Kick. Afterwards you can Double jump again. Since he loses a lot of height after the kick, only use it if you are hit away from the stage on a high trajectory.
Double jump, then do a Falcon Kick. Afterwards you can Double jump again. Since he loses a lot of height after the kick, only use it if you are hit away from the stage on a high trajectory.
===Melee Weapon Smash===
When Falcon smashes with a melee item, he thrusts it forward and jams it up. The upward jam will launch weak enough enemies up. Using the homerun bat ends in a star KO. He also launces a barrage of stars (about five or six) with the star rod.
===Raptor Boost Kick===
Immediately after using the raptor boost on a foe, use his up smash attack as they are coming down, sometimes you can juggle your opponent with his up smash. Note, this only works if you are on the ground with his raptor boost and are hitting them up.
===Meteor Smash===
Now this strategy is to use the meteor smash to eliminate your opponent. Before trying, make sure your foe has at least 120% damage count. If you use this in a bonus timed match or in classic/all-star mode, you can get about 400% everytime you do this. Now there are multiple ways to start but only one way to wrap it up. You can
*{{gc|B}} {{plus}} {{gc|Right|Control}} or {{gc|B}} {{plus}} {{gc|Left|Control}} then {{gc|Down|Control}} {{plus}} {{gc|A}} either near the edge or the far left/right side of the screen (because if you do it in the middle then they will hit the platform).
*Throw {{gc|Up|Control}} and time a double jump to where they are near and you have enough time to use the {{gc|Down|Control}} {{plus}} {{gc|A}} without them escaping. It sounds hard but it is very easy.
*Last but not least use your crouch {{gc|A}} attack and time your jump to be close and have enough time to hit with your {{gc|Down|Control}} {{plus}} {{gc|A}}.
