Captain Falcon: Difference between revisions

[[Image:Captainfalconmelee.jpg|120px|right]]Captain Falcon makes a return appearance in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee|the sequel]], still in his incarnation from ''F-Zero X''. This time, he is a default fighter, and as before, one of his alternate costumes is [[Blood Falcon]] in both coloration and the logo on his suit's back. His new Forward-B move is the [[Raptor Boost]], a rushing uppercut attack.

Captain Falcon ranks 6th on the [[Smash Back Room]] [[tier list]]. Captain Falcon remains the most maneuverable character in the game, with the fastest running speed which lends itself to a fast and long [[Dash-dancing|dash-dance]] as well as a short hop that can cover great distances, a high falling speed, and the longest [[moonwalk]]. This complements his offenses well, particularly his aerial offenses: his [[fair]], called the [[Knee Smash]], is a powerful, low-trajectory finisher, and his aerial attacks in general are low-lag and good at comboing in tandem with his [[throw]]s. Despite this strong aerial moveset, Falcon's ground attacks are generally slow and lack range, which is exacerbated by his lack of [[projectile]]s. Captain Falcon is a [[fastfaller]] which lends him the game's highest resistance to attacks of vertical trajectory, making him resistant to upward KO's but vulnerable to combos. Since his Up-B can not attack targets who may be hanging on a ledge he can be easily [[edge-guard]]ed.
