Captain Falcon is ranked 34th on the [[tier list]] in the bottom tier, a | Captain Falcon is ranked 34th on the [[tier list]] in the bottom tier, a massive drop from his 6th position in the current ''Melee'' tier list, making this by far his worst placement in the series. Captain Falcon has his trademark speed-and-power playstyle, in addition to great mobility, great [[momentum cancelling]] and overall survivability, a versatile [[up aerial]], and one of the best [[jab]]s in the game. However, his combo and KOing power were [[nerf]]ed from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', with his finishers either being weakened (such as [[forward smash]]), or significantly more difficult to land (such as his [[Knee Smash]]). In addition to this, most of Falcon's attacks have awkward [[hitbox]] placements, making safe [[approach]]es and [[spacing]] quite difficult, especially when considering his lack of [[projectile]]s. The impact of the new ''Brawl'' physics severely harmed Captain Falcon: the universal ability to act out of [[hitstun]] hurts him more than any other character, since his attacks no longer keep opponents in longer periods of hitstun. A less effective [[dashdance]] and an inability to [[moonwalk]] gives him even fewer approaching options. He also has fairly poor [[out of shield]] options due to his short [[grab]]bing reach and possessing either slow and/or poor reaching attacks. In addition, he possesses a linear recovery and a vulnerability to [[chain grab]]s. All of these factors result in him being unable to pressure opponents or escape opposing pressure. As a result, he has terrible [[matchup]]s and terrible overall [[tournament]] results. | ||

Captain Falcon has been heavily nerfed from ''Melee'' to ''Brawl''. The vast changes in the gameplay physics removes many of his options while also significantly inhibiting his mobility, mixup options, and ability to play offensively. Additionally, his overall frame data is worse and his KO power was considerably toned down, since many of his moves have reduced KO power, while his forward aerial was nerfed to be rendered situational, since its sweetspot has a shorter duration, a smaller hitbox and increased hitlag making it much harder to land. Even if he does land it, his opponents have ample time to [[DI]] and [[SDI]] the move. 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 as [[Falcon Dive]] is more reliant on momentum while [[Falcon Kick]] no longer restores his double jump. | Possibly due to his high position in ''Melee'', Captain Falcon has been heavily nerfed from ''Melee'' to ''Brawl''.

However, Captain Falcon has received a few buffs. His specials have seen some minor improvements, as [[Falcon Punch]] can now be reversed, which gives it some extra power. [[Raptor Boost]] is far more useful offstage, since he can now use other attacks like his aerials or his Falcon Dive. Falcon Dive can also grab opponents hanging onto the ledge. Despite how much ''Brawl''{{'}}s mechanics have harmed him, Falcon does benefit from the changes to aerial [[grab release]]s, which gives him some followups out of a grab. | However, Captain Falcon has received a few buffs.

It was additionally widely believed at the time that Falcon had "terrible [[priority]]" and would thus be unable to win any exchanges with opposing characters. As such, despite Falcon's still very fast movement speed and powerful attacks, players at the time did not believe he could do anything to any competent degree in competitive matches. A year after ''Brawl'''s release, it was realized that Ganondorf and {{SSBB|Link}} were even worse characters than Falcon; as such, on the third tier list, Falcon rose up from last place and has never ranked there since. Players also began recognising some of the significant caveats Falcon had, such as his access to one of the best jabs, his still rather strong effectiveness at punishing, his still great mobility, and his incredible endurance potential while having a capable recovery that does not compromise it. Additionally, with Ally's tremendous success with Falcon in low tier tournaments, it was seen that Falcon had some clear advantages over his low tier brethren. With this, Falcon shot up to 32nd on the fourth tier list, and then consistently hovered around the 33rd-34th spot. However, he was still crippled by his remaining flaws; although his attacks enjoy the same amount of priority as those of any other character, he still suffered from a lack of disjointed range that could not compete with other longer-ranged characters. | ||
While Captain Falcon was no longer seen as a candidate for worst character in the game, the stigma from his previous last placings still held on, and thus he was commonly seen as a joke character on the level of Ganondorf. With this, Falcon had barely any serious players; nearly everyone who could play Falcon at a competent competitive level only used | While Captain Falcon was no longer seen as a candidate for worst character in the game, the stigma from his previous last placings still held on, and thus he was commonly seen as a joke character on the level of Ganondorf. With this, Falcon had barely any serious players; nearly everyone who could play Falcon at a competent competitive level only used him as a "low tier main" or "fun character", including his best players Ally and Stroumbert, leaving true competitive Captain Falcon mains very rare even at the local level. As such, Falcon's tournament representation was barren even by low tier standards, and only {{SSBB|Jigglypuff}} saw even worse representation in ''Brawl'' tournaments, leaving Falcon's capability to perform beyond low tier play rarely seen in practice. | ||

In Subspace Emissary, Captain Falcon | In The Subspace Emissary, Captain Falcon teams up with [[Olimar (SSBB)|Captain Olimar and his Pikmin]]. When Olimar sends his Pikmin to attack a giant [[R.O.B.]], it wakes up the robot, causing it to shake off the Pikmin. Luckily, Captain Falcon drives his F-Zero machine straight towards them, jumps out in mid-motion, and Falcon Punches the ROB, thus destroying it, but upon landing, Olimar's remaining Pikmin (except for the red Pikmin beside Olimar) were killed when he slid into them. Once the two get out of the forest, they find a [[Primid]] transport platform, otherwise known as the Smash Skiff, that is holding the trophied {{SSBB|Donkey Kong}} hostage. The two watch as {{SSBB|Diddy Kong}} falls from {{SSBB|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. Afterwards, the ship will take them into the secret Subspace HQ, where they will meet up with {{SSBB|Samus}}, {{SSBB|Pikachu}}, and, eventually, a friendly {{SSBB|R.O.B.}}. | ||

Captain Falcon presses a few buttons on his wrist, summoning his ship, the [[Falcon Flyer]]. Everyone piles into the ship and prepares to escape the doomed base when they are attacked from behind by [[Meta Ridley]]. After defeating the monster, they escape the floating island where a massive number of Subspace Bombs destroy the island. Captain Falcon joins the other heroes and uses his ship to help in the assault on the Subspace Gunship. He also helps in [[The Great Maze]]. | After fighting off a large army comprising of various Subspace troops with the others, the heroes are unable to stop the ROBs which arm the last remaining Subspace bombs.
