Verily, Falcon doesn't suck. The game's barely been out long enough to judge that. Just play with him more. Practice, practice, practice. He's just as good as everyone else, maybe even a little bit better. Just figure out how to play your cards.
It's like your basing your opinion off of combo vids and not actual gameplay. Falcon in Melee had a tough time against characters that were higher tier, with good reason. It just came down to the players themselves who tried their best to bring their skill out of Capt. Falcon.
You say Falcon does not suck. And yet many people will disagree. You say practice practice pratice, he's just as good as everyone else. You say just figure out how to play your cards.
This is about Capt. Falcon, not about the player. Most of his disavantages have been talked about.
As for Kev.
People don't have to play 200 matches with Capt. Falcon to find out who he is. When people play as Capt. Falcon and find out lots of moves from most characters have priority over his, they cry. You keep putting in assumptions in what you type. Capt. Falcon did not shred every character in Melee. It was the player.
Don't assume.I'm not trying to be a jerk or anything but it's really annoying when people come in here and bash Falcon when they don't know what they are talking about AT ALL.
We ALL know he's fun to play. You may type up a lot of words, but the fact remains that Capt. Falcon's disadvantages outweigh his advantages when it comes out to comparing him to other characters, equal skill, and 'fair' gameplay.
As for the comment that you believe that huge characters won't be able to do well, you're way off. DK's Bair, Uair, Punch. B+UP. Bowser's B+ UP, Bair. Forward + B, Down + B, Dsmash. etc. Again, follow what you say about bashing and not knowing what they are talking about.
