Captain Falcon (Super Smash Flash 2)

Captain Falcon is a playable veteran character in Super Smash Flash 2. He is, once again, be the only character representation of the F-Zero franchise. His sprites are custom made and based on his appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. His Final Smash is similar to that of his Brawl Counterpart.

Captain Falcon currently ranks 11th on the current tier list (a drop from his 9th position last demo). Falcon still retains his fast attacks, great grab game, combo potential and powerful finishers in his forward smash, back aerial, forward aerial (the Knee Smash), his up tilt and his signature move the Falcon Punch. He possesses the second fastest dashing speed and great air speed giving him amazing mobility. He can extend his recovery by using Falcon Kick to restore his midair jump.

However, Falcon has problems with his falling speed making him vulnerable to combos, chain grabs and zero-to-death combos. He lacks a projectile and reliable ways to deal with them giving him problems approaching. He is also out shined by by other characters who received buffs from last demo and characters who were added in the most recent demo.
