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.

Attributes

Falco's Melee-based alternate costume.

Changes from Melee to PM

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.

  • Buff Falco retains the ability to use the DACUS from Brawl.
  • Buff Falco retains his Brawl jab combo, which is better for racking up damage than his Melee jab combo.
  • Nerf Blaster shots decay in damage based on distance.
  • Nerf Reflector no longer has intangibility on the first frame of activation.
  • Nerf Down aerial's strong initial hit duration was decreased to 4 frames, and late hit does slightly less damage.
  • Change Has Brawl's running animation.
  • Change Falco uses SFXs from Melee for certain moves, such as his down aerial and Reflector.

Revisions

  • Nerf Falco's Jab 1 reduced SDIability corrected to be normal.

  • Change Falco's down throw now has an animation for the victim while being lasered and no longer freezes them in place before being thrown.

  • Nerf Can no longer jump cancel Reflector's recovery frames after reflecting a projectile.
