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

Being considered one of the worst characters in Brawl, Captain Falcon has been buffed up, but not without a few nerfs.

  • 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.
