Falco is currently ranked 2nd on the ''Melee'' tier list, making him the highest ranked unlockable character, clone character, and newcomer all while this being his best placement in the series marginally. 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 {{b|Blaster|Falco}}, as it allows him to pressure from afar and approach noncommittally. | Falco is currently ranked 2nd on the ''Melee'' tier list, making him the highest ranked unlockable character, clone character, and newcomer all while this being his best placement in the series marginally.

Falco, however, is not flawless; he suffers from being light yet having extremely high falling speed and low horizontal air speed. These flaws make him extremely vulnerable to chaingrabs and combos, while his low weight makes him among the easiest to KO horizontally.

Additionally, both of his recovery options travel very short distances, giving Falco one of the worst recoveries in the game. Regardless of these flaws, Falco's strengths greatly overwhelm his weaknesses and he has amazing matchups, lacking any negative ones (making him and Fox in ''Melee'', {{SSB|Pikachu}} in ''Smash 64'' and {{SSBB|Meta Knight}} in ''Brawl'' the only characters with no negative matchups) and having only a handful that are considered even. | ||
