[Melee] Hi, I'm Dr.Peepee, ask me anything!

Hey guys, I was asked by Prog to make this post, and it sounded pretty fun so I decided to do it. I love talking to people and about smash so this is right up my alley haha. Like the title says, ask me anything!

Hi PP! Thanks for doing this AMA! It's been really helpful so far! I just had a quick question that I didn't really see addressed here at all:

In Melee, I main Falcon and Falco (though not to any high caliber), but one problem I've been having with Falco is that I can combo and rack up damage, but it seems like if I don't kill them through a gimp at around 60 to 80%, it becomes very difficult for me to get the finish off on my opponent. How would you recommend dealing with this issue?

Hit with Nair/Bair more instead of trying to combo into kill. Throwing your opponent offstage for easier edgeguards is also an option. Utilt also combos into kill moves for a while as well.

Glad you're enjoying the AMA man =)

Thanks, I'll be sure to try those options out! If you don't mind, I have one more question. It may be a little bit of a dumb question, but what is the utility of wave dashing? I know how to do it and everything, but I can't seem to find anything that actually tells you where and when it's useful in game.
