Captain Falcon (SSBB): Difference between revisions

Captain Falcon is currently ranked 34th on the tier list right above the bottom tier. Captain Falcon has his trademark speed plus power combo, in addition to great mobility, great [[momentum cancelling]] and overall survivability, excellent endurance, an all-purpose attack in his [[up aerial]], and one of the best [[jab]]s. However, his attack speed and KOing power are [[nerf]]ed from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]]'', with his finishers either being weakened (such as [[forward smash]]), or are significantly more difficult to land (such as his [[Knee Smash]]). In addition to this, most of Falcon's attacks have poor [[hitbox]] placement, making safe [[approach]]es and [[spacing]] difficult, especially when considering his lack of [[projectile]]s. The impact of the new ''Brawl'' physics arguably hit Captain Falcon the hardest; less [[hitstun]] and the loss of [[L-canceling]] result in drastically fewer, weaker combos, and a less effective [[dashdance]] and inability to [[moonwalk]] give him even fewer options. Fairly poor [[out of shield]] options due to his short [[grab]]bing reach and possessing either slow and/or poor reaching attacks, predictable recovery, and general inability to pressure opponents or escape opposing pressure, are also cited as problems for Falcon's metagame. As a result, he has terrible [[matchup]]s as well as terrible overall [[tournament]] results.
