Why do you main the falcon? Feel free to respond even if he is a "fun" character, but be sure to let people who will read your post know.

I main falcon because I loved him in melee but he was a bit fiddly for me, took too much concentration to control him well, so i couldnt play casualy with him cause i wasn't very good then.
In brawl he has become easier to control but harder to win with, making it a challenge, but a fun challenge. hes just the perfect character for me. If you can get past the campers that annihalates Falcon so badly

I play him because he has the PAUNCH and KNEE. He's also very fun to main and the such. I think I choose him one day after messing around in Practice with a whole bunch of characters after deciding I'd drop all characters to get better with one chary.

I mean him because of KoJ and ze PAUNCH, it's just the best feeling if you hit one of those and kill.

But to be honest, the main reason was his supernipples.



I still think that falcon has some potential, we just didn't figure it out yet :o

I play Falcon because he's fun to play. And manly. And he gives me an excuse to shout incoherently at the screen. And it's funny to beat people as falcon.

I play Falcon because I've done so since 64. He's the toughest, roughest, most confident son of a ***** in smash.

Performance wise, his speed is what attracts me to this character. Fortunately, he also is somewhat powerful for a fast character. It's usually the fast ones that are weak.

I also like the knee. It's so stylish. Man one time I knee'd Lucas so hard, he changed into Ness. I'm sitting there like, I could've sworn I was fighting Lucas. Well I guess that's just what the knee does, it scrambles DNA.

"I think there's already a thread like this."

I think there's room for one more.

I was trying out all the characters to find a main, and I wasn't doing so well with the Capt., then, suddenly, I saw the world through FALCON VISION and from then on I was good with him. I don't main him, but sometimes when my opponents are railing on me, I just need to pull out a can of ******* PAWNCH and let them know that they will never be as manly as Captain Falcon wearling pink and white and a yellow scarf.

The Knee, The PAWNCH, Show Me Ya Moves, Sheer Manliness, Jet Cars, you know, normal stuff.
Wow. A smash lord who still mains the Captain! Yes!

And to fix, it's; Micro Plasma Engine powered machines that utilize G-Diffuser technology to hovor (no magnets) reffered to as Formula Zero. Hence, F-Zero Machines. You know, manly stuff...

Jet Car is shorter. And I've never really mained the good Captain until recently. I played him fairly often in Melee, but I didn't really use him in Brawl until recently. But I think I'm going to stick by him.

I know... I just wanted to elaborate for the poeple who may not know what it is. It bothers me that Wikipedia says that they're magnet-powered. Wikimorons...

Because Falcon looked Sakurai in the face and laughed

Because we know that when Falcon runs people down its an act of mercy, so they don't have to fight him face to face

Because...well I've used him in the two prior and just because he doesn't have insane cheapness doesn't mean that I won't use him

In a way it may be better to NOT have insane cheapness. Otherwise people would say that you only win becuase you're using CF. I would just shoot for "par character".

I main the Falcon when I need a faster character than my Bowser...that and when I first tried him out a few weeks ago I kicked major butt to the point that it was scary.

39. Ultimate Athleticism
40. Can pwn noobs like no other character
41. His power is over 9000!
42. Godly Jab

Edinburgh. Pm for a Brawl and I'll get back to you
Because anyone I play is so overwhelmed by his complete awsomeness I have a huge chance to simply falcon punch them into the centre of the earth.

But joking aside, hes great fun, no-one knows his combos so its easy to trick people and because I enjoy showing that because hes in the bottom teir doesn't mean hes rubbish

Before some users begin to pound you with hate, I would like to save you...

Yes, it IS possible to combo with Captain Falcon and ANYONE in Brawl. The only time this happens, however, is when your opponent is not paying attention or is confused by your playstyle. In a way, Face 124 is right.

I main Falcon because not only is he one of the hardest characters to use, he has tweaked attacks which looks good like the falcon kick. I pervceive it's mostly in style that Captain Falcon is favoured and he can look really cool especially with aerial attacks (The Knee), also he is a challenge to use since he does not have much priority on his attacks and is not a long range character like most. There are more things I like about him other than style, but mostly I main him especially in brawl since there are so many potential things about him to be discovered and so this stirs me up to keep experimentin with him.

I main the Falcon for two reasons.
1. He has the Knee
2. He has the Falcon Punch
