Since I'm not much of a tourney goer, and I don't know much about certain matchups, I was just wondering: Does Kirby help with anything Falco can't handle? (I only use him becauseI like him)
Kirby has the same G&W problems that Falco has.

I second Yoshi, Ness, Kirby, and CF.

I'm learning Captain Falcon right now. It's...so...hard...such a bad character all round. I don't think I need to explain why.
After fighting some stupid level 9 bots I thought I was ready to take on a human with my Captain Falcon and promptly got owned...*sigh*

Pikachu, Kirby and Sheik most of the time, but Meta Knight always looms for the times I just get enraged by my opponent and lose all sense of honour and dignity.

I can beat MK with Falco sometimes and Wolf isn't really that tough, the only time I resort to such underhanded tactics of using MK is when I face G&W, the bane of my existence.

I have problems with Wolf no matter who I pick, excluding Dedede. He is usually a tough matchup for me.

really? wolf is a good matchup for falco i think. falco outcamps wolf so shl and shdl a lot, when he approaches, try to shield grab. at least that's my strategy. cg works too.

Wolf is easy just take him to the ledge and start camping don't let him get back to the stage and sometimes he will suicide thanks to his crap recovery

Wolf's reflector screws me over, and he has more range than I do. The CG is the only thing I really have going for me lol.

@sMexy- a lot of people underestimate Wolf's recovery. Its not THAT bad. My friend likes to camp the ledge with his over+B and take advantage of his invincibility frames.

Well its really bad all the Wolf's I play they always end up Up-b'ing into the wall of FD or getting stock under FD with they're Side-B or Up-B.

I switched to Captain Falcon secondary. When you get good at him, the matches are fast and intense. I'm well aware of his tier status, and that's partly what motivated me to learn him.

my second is captain falcon. mainly because i have invented combos with him no one knows about (its not really a big deal, but it makes playing him more fun for me)
Yeah, that's sweet, but those combos are going to get revealed and than copied. Happened to me when I used to use Toon Link, some guy copied my combo.

Rob and Donkey Kong then Captain Falcon thrown in to balance out the fact that my mains turned to be pretty high on the tier list after I chose them.

Falco is actually one of my secondary mains...my true main is Zelda/Sheik while my second overall-best main is Link/Toon Link. I have a lot of mains...but the top five I'm best with are the overall-best mains while the rest of my mains are secondaries.

Falcon gets owned... badly... just shield grab all his attacks... He gets owned very bad.
A good Secondary for Falco is DDD and viceversa, they both take care of eachothers hard matchups.

Captain Falcon is just too sexy to leave out of one's secondary list.

All my mains have very different playstyles, so I tend to fare badly when I switch it up mid-series. For instances I shieldgrab a lot with falco, and then when I try to play Link, for the first stock I'll do it again and be like "OH YEAH! I get PUNISHED for that!!"

Youre wrong... Capt. Falcon is easily the best character in the game* hands down*
His manliness is just too great...
That's why you should never main him. His manliness is so broken. I mean, hes 99/1 against Metaknight after pumping his manly juices with this Down Taunt. Ok I need to stop now...
