The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters.
When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted.

Captain Falcon (SSB4)

Captain Falcon was confirmed on July 14, 2014 to be a returning character for Super Smash Bros. 4, the same date that F-Zero X was released for the Nintendo 64 in Japan in 1998. He was revealed in a newcomer trailer for Lucina and Robin. His appearance has been upgraded since his last appearance.

Changes from Brawl

  • Buff Falcon Punch now moves Captain Falcon a fair distance forwards, improving the move's range.
  • Buff Raptor Boost has been buffed again. It deals more damage, covers more range, and has gained more KO power.
  • Buff Neutral attack 3 has been strengthened.
  • Buff Back throw has received more KO power. It also deals 1% more damage.
  • Buff Falcon Dive has a much faster startup, and covers more distance while losing less momentum.
  • Buff Forward aerial (Knee Smash) is buffed.
  • Nerf Down throw deals slightly less damage.
  • Change Up tilt sends opponents at a higher trajectory, weakening its use as a KO move but enhancing its combo utility.
  • Change Down tilt sends opponents at a more horizontal trajectory, weakening its use as a combo move but allowing it to set up edgeguards earlier.
  • Change Falcon Dive has more intense visual effects.

The following moves appear visually unchanged:
