<!--tier position paragraph-->

However, Falco has some major issues with his survivability, which compose his weaknesses. He is among the lightest characters in the game (he weighs as much as {{PM|Lucas}}, {{PM|Pikachu}}, and {{PM|Pit}}), and is ergo easy to knock off the stage horizontally. Additionally, his recovery continues to be one of the worst in the game; this is due to a few factors, including a very low [[air speed]], an extremely fast falling speed, and his two recovery options, [[Fire Bird]] and [[Falco Phantasm]], not providing enough distance.

Falco was reverted to become a clone of Fox again, rather than a semi-clone (as he was in ''Brawl''). While he gained situational options from his ''Brawl'' incarnation, he lost a fair amount of his camping prowess due to the damage decay of lasers.
