Captain Falcon (Super Smash Flash)

Captain Falcon is a playable veteran starter character in Super Smash Flash hailing from the  franchise. His moveset consists mainly of his signature moves from the  series, including the famous Falcon Punch. His sprites are completely custom-made, courtesy of user Infinity's End. Captain Falcon is the third fastest character in the game, under and.

Captain Falcon is ranked at 4th on the tier list in the S tier, a huge leap from his position in the previous tier list. He is capable of dealing enormous amounts of damage very quickly, and his moves possess a great amount of horizontal and vertical range, rivalling. This applies for instant-KO attacks as well.

His Raptor Boost gives him extra horizontal momentum, aiding his recovery somewhat. Also, recent discoveries of the game and advanced techniques, such as jump cancelling and momentum cancelling, have been shown to be very effective when used by Captain Falcon.

Unfortunately, his Falcon Punch is slow and does not have enough power to warrant its use, leaving him with only four decent moves. Falcon lacks instant-KO combos and a reliable long-ranged projectile. However, these weaknesses are mitigated by his great movement speed and his roll attack, which is one of the best roll moves in the game, due to its speed and range, making it very difficult to challenge.

This provides Captain Falcon with great matchups against most of the cast, who cannot deal with his incredible range and speed.

Trivia

 * Due to the Falcon Punch being coded as a projectile, it is possible for an opponent cancel it out by launching a projectile of their own, as the game was not programmed to handle two projectiles on-screen at the same time.
