Falco (ファルコ, Faruko) returns as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. 4, as confirmed by a leaker's Twitch stream. His moveset appears to be largely unchanged from its Brawl incarnation.

His appearance also hasn't changed much from Brawl, albeit a lighter shade of blue for the feathers and a smaller eye reticle. He will be voiced in English by Mark Lund, his voice actor from Star Fox 64 3D.
