Captain Falcon

Line 233:

*Captain Falcon was the only character in ''SSB'' to use a symbol instead of a character head as the stock icon.

*Captain Falcon carries a gun in his holster, but never uses it in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series.

*Captain Falcon has become a meme of sorts within the ''Super Smash Bros.'' fandom, being depicted as a being whose power is godlike and unrivaled, using the [[Falcon Punch]] and his other moves as a demonstration of such.

*Captain Falcon has always had exactly the same [[weight]] as [[Link]] in each of the NTSC releases of the ''Super Smash Bros.'' games.

*While Captain Falcon's scarf is tucked into his shirt in most of the ''F-Zero'' games and anime, in ''Brawl'' onward his scarf hangs out of his shirt (similar to Captain Falcon's evil clone Blood Falcon in the ''F-Zero'' series).

*While Captain Falcon has always had a Blood Falcon-inspired alternate palette throughout the series, only the emblem on the back of his suit changes to Blood Falcon's skull motifs. Blood Falcon has a white skull emblem on his helmet, which does not replace Captain Falcon's falcon emblem.

*Captain Falcon is the only character to have written but non-spoken dialogue in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series; in his [[congratulations screen]] in ''SSB'', he has unspoken subtitles of "Thank you for playing. Yes. I am Number One !{{sic}}"

*Captain Falcon, [[Ness]], and [[Terry Bogard]] are the only characters to be voiced by Japanese actors yet speak English in all language tracks.

**Of the three, he is also the only one to be voiced by a fluent English speaker.

Line 241:

*Many of Captain Falcon's minor animations, such as shield breaking or using battering items, appear on several characters who are otherwise not clones of him and often those with a similarly realistic physique (such as [[Solid Snake]], [[Little Mac]], and [[Simon Belmont]]), suggesting his animations are commonly used as templates.

*Captain Falcon and [[Donkey Kong]] are the only characters to be listed with abbreviated names on the [[victory screen]], [[trophies]], and/or [[character select screen]]. In Captain Falcon's case, he is listed as C. Falcon in ''SSB'' and ''Melee''.

*Captain Falcon has the fastest running speed of any first-party character by default, and was the fastest character in general before Sonic's debut in ''Brawl''.

*Captain Falcon's voice actor, Ryō Horikawa, reprised his role for the first time in over a decade in [[Min Min]]'s reveal trailer for ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''. However, he only provided sounds of slurping noodles instead of new dialogue.

**Regarding this appearance, Masahiro Sakurai stated that it was the first time that Horikawa voiced Captain Falcon since ''Smash 64''. However, Captain Falcon still received new voice clips in both ''Melee'' and ''Brawl''; Sakurai stated that voice clips that Falcon received later were simply unused, and voice clips for [[Blue Falcon]] and other [[Final Smash]]es are [[Unused content (SSB)#Gameplay|accessible within the game's debug menu]].

*Captain Falcon and [[Ganondorf]] are the only pair of clones to come from different universes ({{uv|F-Zero}} and {{uv|The Legend of Zelda}}, respectively).

**[[Kirby]] and [[Jigglypuff]] (who hail, respectively, from {{uv|Kirby}} and {{uv|Pokémon}}) were clones in [[Super Smash Bros.|the original game]], but were de-cloned in ''[[Melee]]''.

*Captain Falcon is the only fighter from the original ''Super Smash Bros.'' to have consistently alternated between being an unlockable and a starter character in each installment, being unlockable in ''SSB'', ''Brawl'', and ''Ultimate'', and being a starter fighter in ''Melee'' and ''3DS/Wii U''.

**[[Ness]] technically also shares this distinction, albeit only being a starter character in {{forwiiu}}, but being unlockable in {{for3ds}}.
