Captain Falcon is | Captain Falcon is arguably the fastest character in the game. He has the highest dash speed, the second fastest falling speed (behind Falco), and one of the fastest lateral air speeds in the game. These traits, coupled with his high traction, good jumping prowess, the ability to wall jump, and the longest dash dance (because of his many dash initiation frames) give Captain Falcon great approach options, a short but quick wavedash, and the best [[moonwalk]] in the game. | ||
Despite lacking a projectile, Captain Falcon's attacks and great speed enable great approach options to KO and combo reliably and efficiently. Many of Falcon's attacks have fairly long start-up lag, but deal incredible damage and knockback, have great range, and have little ending lag. His low short-hop, very fast falling speed, and aerials that reliably chain into one another makes for an excellent [[SHFFL]], giving him a great damage rate and a multitude of approaches and combo finishers. | Despite lacking a projectile, Captain Falcon's attacks and great speed enable great approach options to KO and combo reliably and efficiently.

Overall, Captain Falcon is a tank with gifted speed; he can deal a lot of damage and take much of the same punishment, while having one of the fastest movement speeds in the game. Players must take advantage of this speed and quickly adapt to their opponents to fully utilise his power. | Overall, Captain Falcon is a tank with gifted speed; he can deal a lot of damage and take much of the same punishment, while having one of the fastest movement speeds in the game.
