There has been little to no ''F-Zero'' releases since ''Brawl'' barring cameos in ''Mario Kart | There has been little to no ''F-Zero'' releases since ''Brawl'' barring cameos in ''Mario Kart 8'' and ''Nintendo Land''. Nevertheless, the series continues to be represented, arguably more closely linked to ''Smash Bros.'' than its own releases in the minds of those who know little to nothing about ''F-Zero''. | ||

*[[File:CaptainFalconIcon(SSB4-U).png|50px|right]] '''[[Captain Falcon (SSB4)|Captain Falcon]]''': Captain Falcon returns as a starter character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. Captain Falcon has been significantly buffed from Brawl, in which he was a low-tier character despite his speed and power. Several of his moves have been given more reach and knockback, and some of his situational moves, such as his up tilt, have been greatly improved. Falcon's grab game has also been buffed, as his throws have less ending lag, allowing him to string together combos more reliably, much as he could before Brawl. Complementing this is his newly buffed dash grab, which comes out very quickly and covers a lot of distance. Falcon also significantly benefits from the changes to two of Brawl's mechanics - hitstun canceling, which is now only possible at higher percents and restored his comboing ability for lower percents, and chain grabbing, which is now impossible and was one of his biggest weaknesses in Brawl. As he is a heavyweight character, Falcon also benefits from the rage mechanic, without his combos being affected. As in SSB and Melee, Falcon is mainly a heavily offensive rushdown character who relies on overwhelming his opponents with rapid combos and powerful finishers. | *[[File:CaptainFalconIcon(SSB4-U).png|50px|right]] '''[[Captain Falcon (SSB4)|Captain Falcon]]''': Captain Falcon returns as a starter character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''.
