===Tier placement and history=== | |||
Falco has been viewed rather poorly ever since ''Smash 4'''s release. Players took little time to notice the severe nerfs to his [[Blaster]], which was an essential component of Falco's play style in his previous iterations and a driving force behind his top-tier placements in ''Melee'' and ''Brawl.'' The nerfs to his down aerial, another signature move of his, further contributed to his weak status. At the same time, some players argued in support of him and believed he was being underrated, citing his fairly good [[combo]] game and powerful [[back aerial]]. However, as time went on and Falco saw little representation and almost no notable results to speak of, it became clear that his nerfs were indeed too severe for him to be even a mid-tier character in the eyes of the community. This is in spite of the fact that Falco has received numerous buffs over the game's life span--though his buffs largely failed to address his ineffective [[neutral game]]. Meanwhile, characters like {{SSB4|Ike}}, {{SSB4|Meta Knight}}, {{SSB4|Marth}}, and {{SSB4|Mewtwo}}, who were all at some point considered similarly below-average, would go on to receive more meaningful buffs, which served to only worsen Falco's position relative to the cast. | |||
Falco's nerfs and his ongoing lack of tournament presence would lead him to place at 38th on the first official 4BR [[tier list]], in the low-tier. He then saw another drop on the second iteration, placing at 49th near the bottom of the low-tier, and with Marth's substantial rise, this leaves Falco with the single largest tier drop between ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4.'' | |||
