Captain Falcon (キャプテン・ファルコン, Captain Falcon) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. He was confirmed on June 12th, 2018.

Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4

Aesthetics

  • Change The text on the back of Captain Falcon's "Blood Falcon" costume variant reads "HELL HAWK" instead of "BLOOD HAWK" as it appeared previously.

Ground attacks

  • Change Captain Falcon has a new forward smash: a backhand punch enveloped in fire.

Aerial attacks

  • Change Neutral aerial seems to launch opponents at a slightly lower angle.

Special moves

  • Change Like several other powerful attacks in the game, Falcon Punch displays a dramatic slow motion effect when it successfully hits an opponent.
  • Change Falcon Dive has Captain Falcon flash with an orange tint when grabbing an opponent. It additionally has a new animation, in which he grabs his opponent with one hand while leaning more, and the flip after grabbing an opponent now has him spin slightly.

Trivia

  • Interestingly, the text that reads "HELL HAWK" on the back of Captain Falcon's "Blood Falcon" costume variant was originally what the text read in during the development of Super Smash Bros. Melee, but was changed to "BLOOD HAWK" in the final version of the game.
