Captain Falcon (SSBB)

Line 17:

{{s|wikipedia|Ryō Horikawa}} reprises his role as Captain Falcon in ''Brawl'', albeit via recycled voice clips from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', along with new, previously unused voice clips.

Captain Falcon is ranked 34th on the [[tier list]] in the bottom tier, thus being the third lowest unlockable character and the lowest ranked sole ~~representative~~, a huge drop from his 8th position in the current ''Melee'' tier list and making ''Brawl'' his only appearance in the series where he is bottom-tier rather than high-tier or high mid-tier, and by far his worst placement in the series. Captain Falcon has his trademark speed-and-power combo, in addition to great mobility, great [[momentum cancelling]] and overall survivability, an all-purpose attack in his [[up aerial]], and one of the best [[jab]]s. However, his combo and KOing power were [[nerf]]ed from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', with his finishers either being weakened (such as [[forward smash]]), or significantly more difficult to land (such as his [[Knee Smash]]). In addition to this, most of Falcon's attacks have poor [[hitbox]] placement, making safe [[approach]]es and [[spacing]] difficult, especially when considering his lack of [[projectile]]s. The impact of the new ''Brawl'' physics arguably hit Captain Falcon the hardest; the ability to act out of [[hitstun]] hurt the combo abilities of Falcon more than other characters, since his higher knockback attacks no longer keep opponents in longer periods of hitstun, and a less effective [[dashdance]] and inability to [[moonwalk]] give him even fewer approaching options. He also has fairly poor [[out of shield]] options due to his short [[grab]]bing reach and possessing either slow and/or poor reaching attacks. In addition, a predictable recovery, vulnerability to [[chain grab]]bing, and the general inability to pressure opponents or escape opposing pressure are also cited as problems for Falcon's metagame. As a result, he has terrible [[matchup]]s as well as terrible overall [[tournament]] results.
