 ==In [[competitive play]]==
+===Tier placement and history===
+Falco has always been seen as a top-tier character in ''Brawl'', though he is ranked slightly lower in the most recent tier lists than in the previous ones. Falco was ranked 5th place on the first tier list (September 2008) in the top tier, and rose to 3rd in the second (January 2009; his highest position so far). He then remained at 4th from the third tier list to the sixth, before dropping to 6th on the seventh (April 2012), then 7th on the eighth and current list, as of April 2013. While Falco has had many notable players contributing to his [[metagame]], as well as having always had great [[matchup]]s against the majority of the cast, he does have trouble against some top/high tiers, and his less successful recent tournament results hold him back, though he still remains a top tier character.
 ===Matchups===
 {{SSBBMatchupTable|falco=yes}}
 Falco has great matchups in ''Brawl''. According to [[character matchup (SSBB)|the current SmashBoards matchup chart]], Falco's matchup spread has the fourth highest unweighted rank, fourth highest total (tied with {{SSBB|Marth}}), and sixth highest weighted total. Falco is [[counter (matchup)|counter]]ed in two matchups, [[soft counter]]ed by one matchup, and has seven even matchups. He soft counters ten characters, counters nine characters, [[hard counter]]s six characters, and has one close-to-unloseable matchup. He does have trouble against some other top/high tiers, being countered by {{SSBB|Ice Climbers}}, whom Falco lacks safe options to [[approach]] without getting [[grab]]bed (allowing their [[0-death]] [[chaingrab]]), and {{SSBB|Pikachu}}, who can take advantage of his fast falling speed acceleration attribute by chaingrabbing him (if started at 20%, which can be reached with two forward throws, it can also buffer down throws and finish with a [[Thunderspike]], as a 0-death combo). Falco is one of the few characters to have an arguably even matchup against {{SSBB|Meta Knight}}, due to his ability to [[projectile camp]] against him, though this is stage specific, with him only coming close on neutral stages, specifically {{SSBB|Final Destination}}. One major disadvantage against said character is that he can easily be [[gimp]]ed and [[edgeguard]]ed.
