Yeah but lets take this back to smash 64.... he didnt use the gun then. I actually am realizing now that all of his character models had guns and he never uses them! So why did the game designers op out of him using a gun in the original game? My guess is that they already had 2 gunslingers at the time: Samus and Fox.I'd take it as Captain Falcon's moveset is super iconic to Smash and hankering it with a pistol could be controversial to a few folk...
Ultimate has been keeping up with the canon interpretations so far. Falcon is a bounty hunter in F~Zero and thus he has a holster & gun to reflect that.Yeah but lets take this back to smash 64.... he didnt use the gun then.

I absolutely think Falcon Punch is a cooler move than any potential gun move they could have come up with for Captain Falcon, but still, this is the type of thing that keeps me up at night. It just baffles me that they include the gun at all if hes not gunna use it!
It's my unserstanding that smash 64 was originally something like dragon king: the fighting game and essentially Saturo Iwata suggested to Sakurai to use more iconic Nintendo characters than the generic models they were currently using for the game. Comparing the prototype character models supposedly they match up pretty close or exactly with captn Falcon so from what I've read a lot of captn Falcon's move set is from that prototypes game with his skin over it and the reason they kept the pistol was because i think its visible in either the F-zero or F-zero X game manual and maybe they didn't program it because of time reasons? That's atleast my understanding as to Captain Falcons history in the gameYeah but lets take this back to smash 64.... he didnt use the gun then.
