Captain Falcon (SSBB): Difference between revisions

Despite receiving  [[buff]]s to his special moves and one of the most dominant character in ''Melee'', Captain Falcon has been overwhelmingly nerfed from ''Melee'' to ''Brawl''. The vast change in physics removes many of his options while also significantly inhibiting his mobility, mixup options, and ability to play offensively. Additionally, many of his moves are much slower and weaker, while his prominent finisher Knee Smash was nerfed to be rendered situational. The changes to hitstun and falling speeds, as well as changes to his moves that increased their lag or altered their angle, also harm Captain Falcon's hitstun-heavy combos. On top of this, none of Captain Falcon's major issues from ''Melee'' have been addressed: despite generally better aerial mobility, his recovery has been shortened and weakened even further elsewhere. Additionally, Falcon's few buffs do not assist him in ''Brawl'''s more defensive environment. Overall, Captain Falcon fares significantly worse off in ''Brawl'' than ''Melee''.
