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

  NOTE: SmashWiki is not speculative. Please refrain from adding detailed data values derived from pre-release gameplay footage, such as the E3 demo. Such data (damage values, launch trajectories, frame data, etc.) are subject to change before the official release.

Aesthetics

  •   As with all veterans returning from SSB4, Captain Falcon's model features a more subdued color scheme. The top piece of his racing suit appears to be armor with visible scuffs. His eyes are larger, akin to Brawl.
  •   Captain Falcon has a slightly altered dashing animation.

Attributes

  •   Like all characters, Captain Falcon’s jumpsquat animation now takes three frames to complete.

Ground attacks

  •   The first hit of neutral attack has an altered animation, now jabbing underhanded.
  •   Captain Falcon has a new forward smash: a backhand punch enveloped in fire.

Aerial attacks

  •   Neutral aerial's hits transition faster.

Special Moves

  •   Like several other powerful attacks in the game, Falcon Punch displays a dramatic slow motion effect when it successfully hits an opponent.
  •   Falcon Punch's flames are more pronounced and better resemble an actual falcon than in Smash 4.
  •   Raptor Boost now has a slightly altered animation, and seems to gain Captain Falcon super armor if the move connects.
  •   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.
