Am I the only one who thinks Captain Falcon's "Falcon Punch" is a poor move? Knockback-wise, yes, but the lag is awful. I hate it in every game (except the original, thank you hitstun) due to the lag. Don't get me wrong. I love the Falcon Punch scene in the anime, the move looks cool, and everything. But I nearly always counter it, and try to avoid using it when I'm playing Falcon in both Brawl and Melee. Like stated, when CF yells "Falcon", I'm ready to pull out a cape, counter it with any of the FE crew, get Toad out ready, do a quick side smash with Bowser, or just get ready to dodge. When a character is stunned, grabbed, or tripped, it is a more useful situation to use it, but otherwise, it seems pathetic to me. But, anyway, Falcon is one of my favourites in Melee due to combo abilities, and Brawl, he's not low-tier status (sure, his finishing moves are harder to peform, but he is quick, has good falling speed, and is quite heavy) IMO, but he has got a lot of disavantages against other characters.

What I do to eliminate the lag problem is jump towards the enemy and charge it in mid-air. That way, the punch should come out either right when you land in front of the opponent or it should come out a little before. Either way, I've caught some people off-guard with this strategy. - [[User:GalaxiaD|GalaxiaD]] ([[User talk:GalaxiaD|talk]]) 01:40, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
