THAT AIN'T FALCO

[Oye_Joaquin]

What do you guys think about Falco in this game? I skipped him in Brawl and I'm disappointed that they changed him so much from his Melee counterpart. What do you guys think? Is his new form better or worse?

Seems to be almost the same as he was in Brawl.

They wanted to diversify him from Fox so they changed a lot of his moves....slightly...only one with a real difference is the shield toss.

Much rather have wolf....

I mean, yeah. The shield toss and the slow down of the combat in general was a real turnoff for Falco in General. brawl wasn't my thing though, didn't enjoy it much.

In this game he is a lot slower and a lot more about getting kills off the sides as opposed to getting kills off the top like Fox. I like him a lot cause he's stronger than Fox on the ground, but that's cause I can't hit aerials for **** on a 3DS.

Probably belongs in the Falco section.

As far as I'm concerned, there is no way to cancel the lag from his lasers. This makes the character obsolete to me because all he has now is hand-to-hand combat and I'd rather just pick a character that's already suited for close-quarter combat to begin with.

Yeah, new here. Not use to the organization.

I agree, he's extremely stressful to use. Short-hopping is a bit tedious on a 3DS, so his down air is pretty useless.

I miss melee Falco

He's so slow in this game.

I think he's still fun, personally. And I preferred his Brawl form over his Melee form (largely because I could avoid accusations of "stop using the best character" from my friends). He got weaker in a lot of rather reasonable ways (people shouldn't complain about the laser nerfs unless they wanted a campy game, for instance), and gained a few nice tweaks (like his jab finisher making his jab not suck, and his Upsmash hitting twice). Plus, now his spike is extra satisfying to land since it takes effort and timing.

I mean, he feels fresh. It'll take some getting use to though

Falco was good in Brawl because of how fast his Dair came out, and he could easily play keep away by short hop double lasering. And because of his downthrow chaingrab on some characters. However, every single one of these things has been taken away from him in this game as far as I can tell. Not much reason to pick him over Fox anymore.

Kill power, still has a meteor on the Dair, lasers still stun (harder to camp than before but they're still useable), a bit better jumping, sideB meteor. They're unique characters still, but it definitely seems like Fox is a tad on the better side again. Time will tell more clearly.

I'm getting used to Falco now, has some pros over Fox for sure

 

[Illuvial]

I love Falco in Brawl and in Melee he's fun too, but in Smash 4 he's just been so horribly gimped due to slight changes here and there and general engine changes that I can't stand playing as him.

 

[OddCrow]

I love Falco after not liking him in brawl. He has a good dash attack into aerial game, solid throws, a projectile and a reflector. Plus the new side-b to up-b is awesome.

 

[Oye_Joaquin]

I'm starting to enjoy him, he takes time, but I can see his perks. His Dair is so comfortable and fun to hit
