===Tier placement and history=== | |||
Captain Falcon has always been considered a high-tier character, with his lowest placement being 5th on the first tier list. His flexible combos, speed, and power have allowed him to take on the majority of the cast extremely well, and has garnered him consistently strong representation and results from high—level players. As the metagame advanced further, Falcon has been notably one of the few characters that has a manageable matchup against {{SSB|Pikachu}}, the best character in the game, although he still struggles to approach and make full use of his advantages against {{SSB|Kirby}}, who can camp him with his large hitboxes. These factors have led to a rock-paper-scissors flowchart, where those three characters together shape most of the metagame. Although other characters have since risen in usage in recent times, such as {{SSB|Yoshi}} and {{SSB|Jigglypuff}} being able to disrupt Falcon’s advantage, he still enjoys excellent usage in all levels of play. | |||
