Well, I went to a Brawl tournament for the first time with Capt. Falcon, and I was doing pretty well until the semis. The rules were 2/3 matches wins. The guy I was facing used Meta-Knight, and nearly 3-stocked me. He only lost a stock because he was messing around with the Infinite Dimensional Cape, and ended up falling. The second time was pretty good, but my last stock lost was just lost really quickly. If I remember, it was Dash Attack, D-Throw, U-Tilt, F-Air, F-Air, and Shuttle Loop. He took no damage, and my stock was lost kinda quickly. I know it's obvious that Capt. Falcon has an extremely harsh time dealing with Meta-Knight, but I couldn't help but feel depressed after losing quickly. After the tournament was over, I went home to play Brawl (in preparation to leave to a birthday party), and I couldn't 3-stock CPUs like I could before the tournament. I was almost on the brink of dropping Capt. Falcon.
The day after, I was playing Brawl with my sister, since she claimed she got tons better. After a couple of matches, she asked me why I wasn't using Capt. Falcon. I told her I was gonna drop him because I couldn't win like I used to, but she kept going on and on about how I shouldn't drop him, and that I'm the best Capt. Falcon user she's ever seen (Brawl-wise ofc), and it'd be a shame if I dropped him. So, I decided not to drop him. On that day, I used him nonstop, to the point where my friends would tell me to pick another character or they'll leave. So, as of then, I've gotten tons better with Capt. Falcon than I have in the past, and I'm proud to main him. In fact, I even look forward to Capt. Falcon vs. Snake/Meta-Knight sometimes. =)
