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). However, he was very slightly nerfed from Melee due to a few of his options being weakened.

  • Nerf Blaster shots decay in damage based on distance.
  • Nerf Reflector no longer has intangibility on the first frame of activation.
