Falco is currently ranked 2nd in the ''Melee'' tier list, making him the highest ranked unlockable character, clone character, and newcomer. Falco has many combo openers and the options to extend them, most notably a frame 1 launcher in his [[Reflector]] and a frame 5 [[down aerial]] that spikes powerfully. These tools allow him to easily chain together highly damaging strings that are hard to [[DI]] out of. He also possesses very effective edgeguarding options, such as his back air, forward and down smashes, and his aforementioned down air. Falco also has one of the best neutral game options among the entire cast with his [[Blaster (Falco)|Blaster]], as it allows him to pressure from afar and approach noncommittally.
