Wow, all this bashing on Falcon. He's not a bad character, you just have to get use to him. His back air is still sweet. You can also juggle people with his uair and finish off with a bair. I like him personally, he's been nerfed but still a good character nonetheless. Who cares about tiers, pichu was bottom of the bottom of the tier list and people still rocked other people with him. It all depends how you play. Falcon is not a bad character, just different from melee.
Captain Falcon is WORSE than both Pichu and Mewtwo.
You see, both Pichu and Mewtwo could combo to some extent. They also had some level of decent kill options and priority. Falcon has none of these advantages.
What Captain Falcon is: A character that can neither combo, approach, grab, or land kill moves.
Ganondorf both combos and kills more effectively than Captain Falcon. People say he's the worst, when he's actually better than Captain Falcon. This is why Captain Falcon is the worst character in the game. Ganondorf barely manages to squeak into second place for that position.
Okay now seriously, if you don't believe me, let's look at something Ganondorf has that Falcon doesn't. The Forward B.
This attack is literally a long range grab. This gives Ganondorf an infinitely more effective approach game than Falcon. This attack doesn't suffer dumb ending lag if he misses, unlike Falcon's. BETTER YET, this is the reason why Ganondorf combos so much better than Falcon. This attack leads to guaranteed Jabs and I think D-tilts. And mind you, BOTH of those attacks can kill.
Now let's see, everyone would agree Falcon's F-tilt has decent speed. Ganondorf's is about as fast, but ten times stronger in terms of knockback. It also has more range and priority. It sends people at a very low trajectory too. This kill move >>> Falcon.
Ganondorf's Smashes are about the same speed as Falcon's, but have more range and knockback. Neither will land these often, but Ganondorf will kill much more often with these ones.
Falcon can autocancel D-airs. So can Ganondorf. Who has the better D-air? Ganondorf. His D-air is 100000000 times better. It kills off the top at 120%, or it is an unrecoverable spike.
Ganondorf also has a stage with which he can counterpick at. Brinstar. Falcon doesn't have this kind of advantage. Both are absolutely horrible, so they will lose on neutral stages. When it is time to counterpick, Ganondorf will always win on Brinstar. Falcon however will never win.
Both suck. Ganondorf clearly sucks less.
