Rally the troops! The Brass Spartans march into combat! Falinks is a complex character that blurs the line between a zoner and a puppet character. The main Falink, whose brave leadership qualities have earned them the title of "Captain," strategically employs their brethren in versatile ways to control space and disrupt the opponent's game plan. The troops boast several powerful keep-away tools, such as j.2A, Chainspear, and Upward Chainspear, which you'd expect from a zoner. These moves are potent and have disjointed hitboxes away from the Captain, making them challenging to punish in neutral. Furthermore, the Captain displays strong tactical flexibility by deploying some of their troops (Private Lil Link and Lieutenant Big Link) who detach from the main troop. The moves 3A (deploying Lil Link) and 2A (deploying Big Link) change properties after tossing their comrades. The deployed troops can be commanded to attack via 5A and to retreat using Defensive Formation. Any troops not attached to the main stallion cannot be attacked, leading to scenarios where opponents must carefully navigate past them to reach the Captain. However, do not underestimate the strength in numbers: keeping the troops deployed can limit the range and alter the properties of Falinks's zoning tools. Falinks requires a delicate balance between these two aspects of zoning and disruption to use efficiently. | Rally the troops! The Brass Spartans march into combat!

Introduction
Pata-Pata-Poké-MON!
Rally the troops! The Brass Spartans march into combat! Falinks is a complex character that blurs the line between a zoner and a puppet character. The main Falink, whose brave leadership qualities have earned them the title of "Captain," strategically employs their brethren in versatile ways to control space and disrupt the opponent's game plan. The troops boast several powerful keep-away tools, such as j.2A, Chainspear, and Upward Chainspear, which you'd expect from a zoner. These moves are potent and have disjointed hitboxes away from the Captain, making them challenging to punish in neutral. Furthermore, the Captain displays strong tactical flexibility by deploying some of their troops (Private Lil Link and Lieutenant Big Link) who detach from the main troop. The moves 3A (deploying Lil Link) and 2A (deploying Big Link) change properties after tossing their comrades. The deployed troops can be commanded to attack via 5A and to retreat using Defensive Formation. Any troops not attached to the main stallion cannot be attacked, leading to scenarios where opponents must carefully navigate past them to reach the Captain. However, do not underestimate the strength in numbers: keeping the troops deployed can limit the range and alter the properties of Falinks's zoning tools. Falinks requires a delicate balance between these two aspects of zoning and disruption to use efficiently.
Outside of the troop nuances, Falinks has other shortcomings. Their own short-range normal attacks and vulnerabilities in disadvantage can lead to a swift defeat for Falinks in combat. Falinks excels in neutral but relies on metered options to perform well in advantage and to escape disadvantage. The sweep 3A variants (with and without Lil Links deployed) require different setups to confirm into, making meter gain somewhat of a hassle at times. Falinks has a vast amount of different approaches to playing; no two Falinks players will play Falinks the same. All this nuance comes together to create a combat troop that is challenging to pick up and play but satisfying to master. Tally-ho!
Falinks is an unique character who can control the battlefield with deployable units before using their install super to rush down the opponent. |

2A (+BL) short distance > 4A > 2A (-BL) > (Big Link Followup) > 6A (Big Link Return Hitbox) > 6A (2x) > Frontline Push
