Captain Falcon (SSBM): Difference between revisions

Captain Falcon has strong matchups. He is countered by 2 characters, soft countered by 2 characters, has 3 even matchups, soft counters 7, counters 5, and hard counters 6. He does well against relatively floaty characters, such as {{SSBM|Peach}} and {{SSBM|Dr. Mario}}, as he combos these characters the easiest at mid-percents. He also has favorable matchups against slower characters, such as {{SSBM|Ice Climbers}} and {{SSBM|Ganondorf}}. His matchup with {{SSBM|Marth}} is widely disputed, as Marth has superior range and attack speed, while Captain Falcon has a much more solid combo game on Marth than Marth does on Captain Falcon. He has some trouble against characters that can either edgeguard efficiently or outprioritize his moves, such as {{SSBM|Jigglypuff}} and {{SSBM|Sheik}}. Both {{SSBM|Fox}} and {{SSBM|Falco}} in particular can do both of these as well as combo Captain Falcon consistently, as he can be juggled very easily. However, it is not impossible to win against the space animals, as Captain Falcon can combo them in return if he wins the neutral game. While the ease of juggling Captain Falcon can be exploited even by lower tier characters such as {{SSBM|Pikachu}}, they usually lack something the space animals do not, allowing Captain Falcon to gain the upper hand regardless. Overall, Captain Falcon has a good matchup spread, and can win against any character.
