Captain Falcon (Super Smash Flash)

Captain Falcon is the sole starter character hailed from the F-Zero franchise in Super Smash Flash. His moveset consists mainly of his signature moves from the Super Smash Bros. series, including the famous Falcon Punch. Captain Falcon is the third fastest character (being only slower than & ).

Captain Falcon is ranked at 20th on the tier list. Captain Falcon has good finishing ability, possessing the mighty Falcon Punch. Unfortunately, this move is hard to hit, making the move fairly useless. He also possesses Raptor Boost and Falcon Kick, with the former aiding recovery somewhat, and the latter being a decent approach option. Captain Falcon's biggest flaw is that his range is an issue, and the fact he only has four useful moves. Also, he has trouble dealing with projectiles and disjoints and frequently can't get in close enough to deal good enough damage. This gives him bad matchups against most of the higher tiered characters than him, which puts him near the bottom.

However, 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 which led to a large rise in the tier list because of it.
