Falco Lombardi is a secret character in Super Smash Bros. Melee. He is unlocked by finishing the stadium event 100 Man Melee with any character. When a player successfully completes this without being KO'd, Falco appears as a challenger. The player must then defeat him and thus unlocking him. He is basically a clone of Fox McCloud, having the same special moves, but with different names.

Many players now prefer using Falco to Fox, for basic reasons. His jumping height has increased and, unlike Fox's, his Blaster makes opponents stop in their tracks momentarily when hit by them. His Down-A Move is an actual spike, while in comparison, Fox's Down-A still keeps opponents with him, and he possesses one of the more potent meteor smashes in the game in the form of his Down-A mid-air attack which will hurdle opponents at a severe downward angle, as opposed to Fox's attack, which is merely a multiple-hit rapid attack.
