Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4

An icon used in notice templates. 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

  • Change 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.
  • Change Captain Falcon has a slightly altered dashing animation.

Attributes

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

Ground attacks

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

Aerial attacks

  • Buff Neutral aerial's hits transition faster.

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 Punch's flames are more pronounced and better resemble an actual falcon than in Smash 4.
  • Buff Raptor Boost now has a slightly altered animation, and seems to gain Captain Falcon super armor if the move connects.
  • 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.
