Captain Falcon has nice green eye.

I just recently found out tonight that Captain Falcon actually has a right eye modeled behind his visor. And it's blue-green colored. I find it odd that he doesn't have a left eye at all though. O_o

This is just speculation, and I'm really grasping here, but

Falcon's eye model is as detailed as Snake's is, right? So they were probably intending for Falcon to take his helmet off at some point in the game during development, right?

And then this came to mind: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFtw7qW7Vcw

Heh, maybe they were thinking of that. Otherwise, why model something you can't normally see?

There was a thread a while back about some of the stuff that was planned for Brawl but never happened. Capt Falcon's helmet could be damaged, so thus, the eye. Meta-Knights mask could also break as well.

They were originally planning to have armor damage during the planning of Brawl but decided to take it out for time constraints or something like that. That's why they put one eye for Falcon because part of his visor would get damaged. I don't remember where I heard it from though. Probably Brawl Wiki or something.

The proof for armour breaking is right in CF's helmet texture.


The crack is on the same side as the eye, so...
