Pros and Cons

Pros:

• Forward Smash and Falcon Punch have incredibly high knockback and damage
• Down Aerial is a powerful spike
• Side B in Midair can spike, and does not automatically kill Falcon when he does this
• Second Fastest Running speed in the game (second only to Sonic)
• Up Aerial and Neutral Aerial are quick and have decent range. Back Aerial has powerful knockback
• Fairly Heavy
• Has one of the fastest backwards rolls in the game and a good forward roll
• Low aerial lag

Cons:

• No projectile or way to deal with projectiles
• Suffers greatly from increased floatiness and decreased hitstun of Brawl
• Tilts and Smashes are a little slow

Changes from Melee to Brawl

• Can perform a reverse Falcon Punch
• Mid-air Raptor Boost makes a "leapfrog" effect when attack connects
• The third hit from his Standard A Combo does little knockback
• Is no longer the fastest runner, Sonic being the fastest
• Significantly floatier

Role in the Subspace Emissary

In Subspace Emissary, Captain Falcon will team up with Captain Olimar and his Pikmin. When Olimar sends his Pikmin to attack a giant ROB, it wakes up the robot, causing it to shake off the Pikmin. Luckily, Captain Falcon drives his racecar straight towards them, jumps out in mid-motion, and Falcon Punches the ROB, thus destroying it and Olimar's remaining Pikmin. Once the two get out of the forest, they find a Primid transport platform that is holding the trophied DK hostage. The two watch as Diddy Kong falls from Falco's Arwing, and fires peanuts at the ship. After Diddy Kong revives DK, Captain Falcon grabs Olimar, and jumps off the ledge and onto the ship. Then the four must fight off a horde of Primids. Once done, the ship will take them into the secret Subspace HQ, where they will meet up with Samus, Pikachu, and, eventually, a friendly ROB.

After fighting off hordes of ROBs which arm the last remaining Subspace bombs, Captain Falcon presses a few buttons on his wrist, summoning his ship. Everyone piles into the ship and prepare to escape the doomed base when they are attacked from behind by Meta Ridley. After defeating the monster, Captain Falcon joins with the other heroes and uses his ship to help the other heroes in their assault on the Subspace Battleship. He helps the heroes throughout the rest of the story.
