65/35 for Fox.

Is that the current consensus? I would have estimated the matchup to be even or better to Falco's.

 

[Captain Smuckers]

i disagree with fox being a worse matchup than falco

 

[gravy]

I do as well.

 

[Twinkles]

falco's easy
fox is okay

marth is ****ing retaaaaarded

 

[Wizzrobe]

Hax says fox is slightly harder than falco.

The diffference is super slight though both mu's very bad.

 

[Coffeeblack]

falco's easy
fox is okay

marth is ****ing retaaaaarded

Falcon marth is so even

 

[Twinkles]

doesn't matter

still hate that ****

 

[gravy]

If you think falco is easy and Marth is hard you're doing it wrong my dude

 

[ChickenWing13]

If you think falco is easy and Marth is hard you're doing it wrong my dude

Agreed.

Falco's lasers are a pain in the ass to deal with.

Marth is easy. Shiek on the other hand...

 

[Zhea]

The problem us a mediocre falco can make life hell for falcon. An amazing fox trancends this. He truly makes you feel useless.

 

[gravy]

Have you ever played an amazing falco? I only took one stock off peepee, it felt like I couldn't do anything. I've never had that much trouble, even vs m2ks sheik.

 

[j00t]

i beat pp in one game once

true story

 

[S l o X]

get better at converting small hits to death and being good out of shield.

 

[Twinkles]

changed my mind
falco is indeed hard

nothing in the game makes sense to me anymore lol

 

[DuckPimp]

if you start thinking any matchup is too easy there will be that one player that comes along and beats you in that matchup and destroys your world

 

[gravy]

I don't wanna hear it, I'll JV5 m2ks Marth.

 

[BTmoney]

I wish falcon was good, he's so fun...but so so bad

so unreasonably bad. the amount of extra effort is ridiculous lol

 

[gravy]

Blacktician come to the good side, you know you should.

 

[SFS_Nipz]

Falcon is too underrated and people john WAY to much about MU's. He is a glass cannon. Everyone can destroy him. But he can destroy everyone off of one touch. Its all about refining your neutral game IMO. I play all the best players so dont bother saying you havnt played a good fox or falco. I play fiction / Lucky who are def falcon killers. Westballz/Rcizzle are super good against falcon as well. To me it seems like we lose our matches from bad spacing / poor decisions.

 

[Zhea]

The thing is, falcon has to be on top of his game at all times for any of his matchups to be close to even. Other top tiers, outside of fox, don't . And when any of them are on, they get greater benefits then falcon. I used to believe Falcon was better than anyone gave him credit for, believed it for 2 years, but at the end of the day he deserves his spot on the list. Play Falcon because you love Falcon. Don't play him because you think he is secretly OP. Hax can confirm he is not.

 

[gravy]

Hax is the worst example for your argument, he's got a terrible mentality. There's nothing secret about it, I DO think falcon is a great character. He has a ton of room to improve still, and seeing how close hax currently is to beating all the best players means that if we made these improvements, he could be at the top. I will never be convinced he can't win a national.

I think he can too























Once he switches to fox

 

[Alexo30]

If Hax switches to Fox, I quit. The world is not ready.

 

[gravy]

I'm not talking about hax winning a national, I'm talking about falcon.

 

[Captain Smuckers]

let's try to get top 5 first

 

[Alexo30]

Did we not get top 5 at TBH3? I know it was Hax and Nintendude.

 

[Captain Smuckers]

alright, top 4 then

 

[gravy]

Am I the only falcon that likes this character?

 

[Divinokage]

Are you guys johning about Falcon? Try Ganon and placing top 5.

 

[gravy]

Wow Kage of all people is defending me.

 

[Divinokage]

It makes me wonder why people even play this game.. to win? to have fun? do they love their characters? lol. I guess it would be important to ask yourself what do you want to accomplish in Melee..? With Falcon?

 

[gravy]

I play for all three of those reasons, and I want to show people that falcon johns are not legit.

 

[SAUS]

I main link. Falcon is not a weak character.

 

[Captain Smuckers]

I like falcon, I wouldn't main him otherwise. That doesn't mean I think he's amazing though

 

[Alexo30]

I play Falcon for the hype and for the love of the character as a whole.

 

[Captain Smuckers]

I play falcon cause I want people to like me

 

[SAUS]

It's not that I think he's amazing, it's that other people were saying he is bad. He is not a bad character.

 

[Captain Smuckers]

Depends on what you consider bad. He's probably worse than fox, falco, jiggs, sheik, marth, and peach. I'm guessing those characters make up at least 50% of who people play, so I'd say it's an uphill battle. That said, I consider him to be extraordinarily decent

 

[Aggromidget]

I like you

Yes, he is not amazing like those characters are, but compare those matchups with how link is in those matchups - or other characters like bowser, mario, DK, etc. Captain falcon is probably the worst character that is widely used, but is far from being a bad character when you look at every character below him on the tier list.
