Falco in Project M and Project+
Universe	Star Fox
Base game appearance	Brawl
Alternate costume	Classic Falco

Falco is a playable character in the Brawl mod Project M. He was remade to be nearly identical to his Melee counterpart in terms of attack hitboxes and animations.

Attributes

Falco's alternate costume.

Changes from Melee to PM

Falco was reverted to become a clone of Fox again, rather than a semi-clone (as he was in Brawl). However, he was very slightly nerfed from Melee due to a few of his options being weakened.

• Reflector can be canceled even after reflecting a projectile, which prevents a shine lock from characters with fast projectiles such as Fox or Falco. This also allows reflected projectiles to be followed up on via a waveshine or other move out of a jump.
• Ability to DACUS, Gatling Combo, and RAR retained from Brawl.
• Blaster shots decay in damage based on distance.
• Reflector no longer has intangibility on the first frame of activation.
• Has Brawl's running animation.
• Jab has its Brawl animation.
• Falco uses SFXs from Melee for certain moves, such as his down aerial.
