{{cquote|''He's a talented aerial fighter with amazing jumping ability, but Falco is a bit slower on the ground.

'''Falco''' ({{ja|ファルコ|Faruko}}, ''Falco'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. 

==Changes from ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==
{{notice|[[SmashWiki is not speculative]]. Please refrain from adding detailed data values derived from pre-release gameplay footage, such as the E3 demo. Such data (damage values, launch trajectories, frame data, etc.) are subject to change before the official release.}}
===Aesthetics===
*{{change|As with all [[veteran]]s returning from ''SSB4'', Falco's model features a more subdued color scheme. His feathers feature simple detailing, similar to ''[[Brawl]]''.}}
*{{change|While Falco retains some design elements from ''SSB4'', he now wears his flight suit and headset from ''{{s|lylatwiki|Star Fox Zero}}''.}}
*{{change|Falco has altered [[sidestep]] and [[roll|rolling]] animations.}}

===Attributes===
*{{buff|Like all characters, Falco's [[jumpsquat]] animation now takes three frames to complete.}}

===Ground attacks===
*{{change|Neutral infinite now finishes with a spinning downwards kick instead of a knifehand strike. Falco also now does a backflip upon finishing the attack.}}
*{{change|Falco's torso faces the opposite direction when performing a down smash.}}

===Aerial Attacks===
*{{buff|Down aerial has faster start up.}}

===Special moves===
*{{buff|[[Blaster_(Falco)|Blaster]] fires slightly faster and has significantly lower ending lag on the ground.}}
*{{change|Blaster makes a different sound when fired and when hitting an opponent.}}
*{{change|[[Reflector (Falco)|Reflector]]'s ending animation has been altered, with Falco standing upright to catch his Reflector while turned slightly.}}
*{{buff|Reflector has significantly reduced ending lag.}}
*{{change|Falco has a new [[Final Smash]] which involves him leading an Arwing strike in a similar manner to {{SSBU|Fox}}'s Final Smash, but with a more erratic and aggressive flight pattern. Unlike Fox's version, Falco's sends opponents almost vertically.}}

==Trivia==
*One of the pictures of Falco from [https://www.smashbros.com/en_US/fighter/20.html his fighter page] on the ''Ultimate'' website features him using [[Fire Bird]] above the [[Great Plateau Tower]]. This is a likely homage to {{s|zeldawiki|Revali}}, a similar looking character from ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild}}''.
*A section of Falco's trailer pictures him showing frustration by charging [[Fire Bird]] once he notices a roast chicken [[food]] item on the ground. This is a recurring joke from ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', as {{SSB4|Falco}}'s clear movie shows him crouching near the roast chicken food item, as well as  {{SSB4|Roy}}'s clear movie, where he is seen "turning" into a roast chicken item upon being hit by [[Flare Blade]].
*In Falco's character showcase video, frame-by-frame inspection reveals that the hitbox visualization of Falco's [[Blaster (Falco)|Blaster]] lasers and [[Falco Phantasm]] are visible while Falco fights Cloud. [https://i.imgur.com/qsfT2se.jpg][https://i.imgur.com/tJWcR2t.png]. This is likely an error that went unnoticed during editing.
*Falco's artwork was one of the three that have been updated on the official site, alongside {{SSBU|Palutena}} and {{SSBU|Shulk}}. In his case, he is covered with more feathers, his forehead appears slightly larger, and his body and beak have more saturated colors.
*Due to an error on the American official site blog, Falco is the only character to not be included when sorting blog posts in the "By Fighter" category.
