'''Falco''' is a playable character in the ''[[Brawl]]'' mod ''[[Project M]]''. He was remade to be nearly identical to his ''Melee'' counterpart in terms of attack hitboxes and animations.

Falco ranks 22nd out of 41 on the [[Project M#Tier list|official]] [[tier list]], near the lower half of the B tier, a significant drop from his 4th out of 26 and 7th out of 38 positions on the ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'' tier lists, respectively. His standing is slightly improved in ''Project+'', where he ranks 20th in the {{h2|Project+|official tier list}}, at the end of the A tier.

Falco retains his strength of having an above-average on-stage game, as he possesses a rather powerful and formidable comboing game in his repertoire.

*{{buff|Falco retains his rapid jab from ''Brawl'' having shorter gaps between hits (7 → 5 frames), set knockback (10 (base), 80 (scaling) → 3 (set)/100), and different angles (80° → 30°/50°/80°). Altogether, these changes make it connect more reliably.}}
*{{buff|Falco retains his ''Brawl'' jab combo, which is better for racking up damage than his ''Melee'' jab combo.}}
*{{nerf|Falco's rapid jab has a higher hitlag multiplier (1x → 1.3x) making it easier to SDI.}}
*{{buff|Falco retains the ability to [[DACUS]] from ''Brawl'' although it covers less distance than it did in ''Brawl'' and Falco cannot perform the Gatling combo due to his decreased DACUS window.}}

===Project+===
Falco has three new recolors for his default costume; a sky blue one similar to one in Smash 4, a pink one loosely inspired by Katt Monroe from early ''Star Fox'' titles, and a purple one inspired by his rival Panther Caroso from ''Star Fox Assault''. The pink Melee outfit is similar to a hidden costume in the 20XX Melee training pack.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Oddly, Falco's ''Melee'' portrait in the Character Selection screen is mirrored, with his reflector and holster being on the wrong positions, and he faces right. Whenever any of his costumes is used in battle, his portrait shows him facing left, which is the correct position.
