| | Falco Lombardi is a secret character in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]. He is unlocked by finishing the stadium event [[100 Man Melee]] with any character. When a player successfully completes this without being [[KO'd]], Falco appears as a challenger. The player must then defeat him and thus unlocking him. He is basically a clone of [[Fox McCloud]], having the same [[special moves]], but with different names. |

| ==Character description==
| | Many players now prefer using Falco to [[Fox]], for basic reasons. His jumping height has increased, his running speed has increased, his falling speed has decreased and, unlike Fox's, his Blaster makes opponents stop in their tracks momentarily when hit by them. |
| Falco Lombardi was first introduced in the SNES game ''Star Fox'' as the best pilot of Fox's three wingmates. In later games, he is further detailed as being brash and egotistical, as well as suggested to have formerly been a gang member. | | [[Category:SSBM characters]] |

| In 2002's ''Star Fox Adventures'', Falco is notably missing for nearly the entire game. This is simply due to the fact that he was not able to be properly worked into the plot. A manga entitled ''Star Fox: Farewell, Beloved Falco'' came with the Japanese edition that takes place during the eight-year gap between ''Star Fox 64'' and ''Adventures''. The comic explain's Falco's absence, and directly leads up to the events of ''Adventures''. Near the end of the game, Falco aids Fox during the final boss fight and shortly appears again to join the other main characters in the ending cutscene.

| ''Star Fox: Assault'' sees a more tame Falco as part of the core team again under the title of "Ace Pilot". Every one of the story mode's missions has Falco in his Arwing, as he never joins Fox on foot like Slippy and Krystal. In ''Star Fox Command'', Falco has again isolated himself from the rest of the characters, though he is still considered to be a member of Star Fox. Falco, like all, pilots a customized vehicle, his own being the Sky Claw, a slim Arwing-like fighter with foward-swept wings armed with a single laser and a multi-lock.

| Falco appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' as part of the unlockable roster of characters. His moveset is derived directly from that of [[Fox]]'s, leading some to classify him as being a "[[clone]]." His play style is said to be very similar to Fox's in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''; indeed, Falco does appear to be a recreation of the "old" Fox. His [[Blaster]] retains the attributes of Fox's in the original game; rather than having rapid-fire capabilities (as Fox's new Blaster does), Falco's Blaster fires at a much slower rate. However, it has the ability to cause opponents to flinch, unlike Fox's.
