Maybe that's their plan considering the puppets they used for that presentation once? Still, I kind of like Command's art style more kind of like how I like how Sonic games don't really go with having real fur and it just feels fun and cartoon-y... Sonic Boom is actually a good cartoon, right? Maybe I should watch it sometime.
Meanwhile, Falco's head which randomly changes shapes and sizes like almost all the time, but we excuse it as Falco's different hairstyle. Also, Nintendo and Smash's developers argue over his flappy wings: they're long and spindly when Nintendo's involved, but flat and fat when Smash's developers are involved. Also, height and "weight". Falco goes from being muscular-like in 64, lean in Adventure and Melee, anorexic in Assault, lean in Command, Brawl, and Smash 4, and this big-headed bird thing in Zero.It seems I'm still subbed to this thread. I like when the space animals look more like real animals; it adds to the campiness. Star Fox Zero is headed back in the right direction.
The big head thing they used for a while looks bad.
Bulimia's a terrible thing.Falco goes from being muscular-like in 64, lean in Adventures and Melee, anorexic in Assault, lean in Command, Brawl, and Smash 4, and this big-headed bird thing in Zero.
Well, some birds have to cough up stuff... Poor things don't have good digestive systems.
I do like Brawl Fox better than Melee Fox in terms of design.It seems I'm still subbed to this thread. I like when the space animals look more like real animals; it adds to the campiness. Star Fox Zero is headed back in the right direction.

This look is a little too... furry for me lol.Found it again! I like how Falco has a normal, kind of awesome-looking run in Star Fox Zero that mirrors his Star Fox 64 run. Even Assault had him run cooler than in Brawl and Smash 4. See, Nintendo and Platinum Games knows what's up when it comes to cool running animations.
This image also puts into perspective that Falco is still really, really tall. I'd actually be okay with Falco being taller in Smash, but they might have to change some things since he looks almost ZSS-height which would make him a large target. Welp, here's hoping Smash 5 uses Zero's designs and 64/Zero's running animation for Falco. Seriously, never got why he ran so weirdly. It looks fine for Sheik since she's running really fast and it's a variation - Fox, Greninja, and Sonic have the other with their arms hanging back - of how a stereotypical ninja would run and it's also fine in Melee since none of the Melee clones had unique running animations, but Falco's runs really slowly, so it looks really out of place in my opinion. A "fix" would be to swap it so his right arm is in back instead of in front so it'll look like he's always ready to draw his Blaster. That being said, I'd rather he run like a "normal" person like Ryu and Snake. For one, it looks less goofy, especially since he's not running fast and two, it could be a throwback to Star Fox 64's cutscene of the Star Fox crew running.
Glad to hear it! If you want, I can play on the 3DS version at pretty musch any time past 5 :D
I'd be happy to play some games with you anytime.
Nice work. Keep it up.View attachment 93445

I've gotten a few Falco spikes in Smash 4, but none against good players. Most of them were on slow and vulnerable recoveries like Beat and Duck Jump.
Since you posted you fanart, I might as well:View attachment 93445

Annnd I remember some people from the Wolf DLC site :3 (Looking at you Tino)
Thank you, I spent a lot of time on this. Like... a lot of hours
I am so happy with buffs for Falco, I just thought they would ignore him again :7
Sorry to hear about your momI really don't want to draw attention or anything, but I don't want to leave people wondering what happened.
After next week, I will be retiring as a moderator for the Smash 4 Falco boards and leaving Smashboards for some time. Part of it has to do with personal issues, one of which involves my mother's recent passing piling on top of anxiety, depression, and stress which doesn't help when you're a lost university student still trying to find his way. The other part has to do with feeling that I lost my way with what I intended to do as a Smash 4 Falco moderator and as another member and another representative of the Smash 4 Falco boards and community alongside the Smash community as whole. One thing that comes to mind would be my long-winded and unnecessary ranting of Falco and Smash 4. The goal and the reason why I accepted being a Smash 4 Falco moderator was to try and help the Smash 4 community. Whether that was providing resources, providing information, furthering the development of Falco, or just being there for you all, that's what I intended to do and I feel like I've strayed off that path and failed you all. I feel like with all the ranting and walls upon walls of texts, I've become a poor representative of the Smash 4 Falco community.
Could that have been fixed? Easily; I could just calm down and stop ranting, however, I don't think that's enough. This is where the personal reasons come into play. I need to restructure my life and reevaluate my priorities, what I believe matters to me in life. So, I've decided that taking a break from Smash and Smashboards is something I should do to figure out all of this. While I could have taken a break without retiring as a moderator or completely leaving Smashboards, I don't think it would be proper to be a moderator who's not active. Also, I requested that I be banned to stay off-site, so don't worry about that.
The Falco boards, from Melee to Smash 4, were never that active, but that doesn't matter to me. I do hope, however, the Smash 4 Falco boards can serve as an archive, library, or reference for Falco.
I am proud, honored, and grateful for having a chance serve and to be a part of this community. Everyone I've met here or watched, Falco players or not, Falco boards or not, has inspired me, given me strength, and made it all worthwhile. So, while I may not be here, know that all my support goes to you all.
For you all, thank you a thousand times over,

Also, random note: Does anyone kind of wondered would have happened if Falco's Side Special was like this in cutscene?
Melee's Official Guide (book) called his Uair Falco Flip and while Uair is unrelated to this, he really is flipping his opponent into the air. It reminds me of his Gatling combo. Falco Flip as a Side Special... I feel like Falco launching his opponent into the air would fit Falco more than Falco spiking them with Falco Phantasm. Falco Flip could essentially be the same as Falco Phantasm: moves Falco forward in a straight line, but unlike Phantasm where he slashes through, Flip could work like Captain Falcon's Raptor Boost, but function almost like Bayonetta's Heel Slide or ZSS's Flip Jump no input kick. Difference is that Heel Slide hits and stays grounded - Bayonetta needs to use Witch Twist to launch up - and Flip Jump is a spike that foot stools without an input... Actually, it would be more like Captain Falcon's Falcon Dive or Ganondorf's Dark Dive where they follow their opponents up, but in this case, Falco should have lower recovery, perhaps set knockback if necessary, and much lower damage on hit - could still stay as 6% or 7% like Phantasm - than Falcon Dive's 5% + 12%, 17% total or Dark Dive's 1.2% (x4) + 9%, 13.8% total.
The possibilities using Falco Flip as a setup... Great, now I'm pissed they didn't give Falco this move. It could even work as a dash attack where if you hold the button, Falco rises up!
I've had close family die in the past and can sympathize. Do what you need to find your way.
Thanks, Rizen.Sorry to hear about your mom
Don't worry about the rants, I've gone on long rants before. Giving character information (or caring about anything) is like sending a bottle out to sea; maybe somebody will find it and reply, maybe not :/
Eh, I was thinking of Gatling combo because of the whole hit once to combo thing. Gatling combo was so wicked since nobody in Smash has a normal cancellable move and I think not many fighting games have normal cancellable moves. Special cancellable are the most common and I know there are links and "target" combos, but I don't think I've heard about a normal cancellable move. There's also the dealio with some jabs and Lucas and Ness being able to repeat their Dtilts rather than dealing with normal recovery to do another move or stopping. Kind of wished Falco still had his Gatling combo, but because Up Smash kills now... Eh, a frame 8 dash attack to a frame 7 Up Smash isn't all that bad considering how slow Falco moves on the ground... Problem would be the total damage as Falco would be doing 25% with a clean dash attack or 22% with a late dash attack. On-shield, that would be terrifying compared to other moves in general... Still close to Brawl's 23% with a clean dash attack or 20% with a late dash attack, though... I don't know, maybe they could have more normal cancellable moves like Falco and Fox could instead of going into rapid jab, do a Ftilt instead or perhaps Mario and ZSS could do a Ftilt to Dtilt since it would fit the whole whip kick to sweep kick motion. The closest we've got to this would be Lucina and Marth's jab 1 to Ftilt which isn't truly normal cancel, but because of jab 1's low recovery and the damage, knockback, and hit stun it does allowing them to do a "quick" follow with Ftilt.
