Captain Falcon (Super Smash Flash)

Captain Falcon is a playable veteran starter character in Super Smash Flash hailing from the F-Zero franchise. His moveset consists mainly of his signature moves from the Super Smash Bros. 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 20th on the tier list, placing him in the C tier. He has strong movement speed, strong attack power, and strong KO power with his instant-KO attacks. His Raptor Boost gives him extra horizontal momentum, aiding his recovery somewhat. His Falcon Kick can be used as a decent approaching option. 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. His biggest issue, however, is his lack of range and a long-range projectile, giving him great problems with fighting characters who possess both. Even without this, he has a difficult time getting in close enough to rack up damage against most opponents.

This gives him bad matchups against most of the higher tiered characters than him, which puts him in low tier.

Trivia

 * Because the flame falcon from Falcon Punch is actually coded as a projectile (unlike the official SSB games), it is possible to cancel it out if another projectile gets launched as the game was not programmed to handle two projectiles on-screen at the same time.
