Captain Falcon received numerous buffs throughout the game's lifespan that gradually improved his perception over time. This was most apparent right at the start of the post-online metagame, which saw an explosion of Captain Falcon results thanks to the efforts of many Captain Falcon players including Ogey and {{Sm|Sean|p=Florida}}. Most notable among these players were Fatality, who was a top 50 player for all of 2021 and 2022, and {{Sm|Jogibu}}, who consistently placed highly at multiple major events. This allowed Captain Falcon's representation to skyrocket into the top 20 during this time, and many players began considering Captain Falcon as a high-tier. | Captain Falcon received numerous buffs throughout the game's lifespan that gradually improved his perception over time.

Captain Falcon's representation managed to stay afloat due to Jogibu's consistent strong results as well as the rise of {{Sm|karaage}}, however his representation was still noticeably smaller than it was before. Due to this, opinions on Captain Falcon had mellowed out a bit, which is reflected in his placement on the first tier list, where he was ranked 39th at the very top of the upper mid-tier, before experiencing another very slight drop to the 40th place in the second and current tier list, now being ranked in the B- tier. | ||
