It takes time to make him decent. My falcon can match most of my friends' characters now, unlike before where it was common getting 2 stocked.

Well, obviously Falcon isn't as great as in the previous games but I don't think it's his fault. It's due to the changed physics, the air momentum to be more specific.

wtf who cares? Isn't it kind of obvious what they did? There's absolutely no reason to make a stupid thread about it.

BTW I figured since this is my first post here, I've been recommended by numerous falcon players to come here and clean it up. I'm AuraShade, the Link Board's god-troll. If you have any questions regarding "my methods of madness," go to the Link brawl board and ask away. I cleaned that place's clock, and this needs some cleaning as well.

For me getting good with Falcon has been all about spacing(tilts,nair), timing(raptor boost, dair), both(dashing grabs, punch, sliding usmash), and mindgames (punch, dsmash, fsmash, aerial kick).
I think it's mostly Falcon's priority that means you have to be really good at these; you generally need to make the opponent miss, then punish, because if you just charge in you'll get a beatdown instead of your attacks clanking.
Since Falcon moves so fast, he has a large mindgame potential that really needs to be capitalized on; once you get the hang of that, you should have no trouble 3-stocking that Ness from last night-- Oh wait I already did that =D

I have question. Can mastering the Falcon punch be possbile. I hate to be a downer, but CF sucks. sad, but true, and beside wha tcan a pro CF do to make Cf look good. You should see how hard it is to use Sonci in trouney. it rough.

yea... i guess its true...
the thing is is that he doesnt feel nerfed.
alot of the times he feels like any other character and i win alot
then he just goes through a phase of getting mega destroyed....
he must be all mind games

You hear that guys? Bj's on the house!!



....But in all seriousness, CF is one of those characters that you use for fun now, but I wouldn't be suprised if he ended up a little higher on the tier list (bottom of low maybe?). I'd be equally unfazed if he remained at he bottom of the ghey pile though too.

I'm am getting tired of seeing all of these threads about "oh my god! Falcon sucks now! What do I do?!" Beleive it or not, when I first began playing Brawl I discovered that Fox was too changed for me to use. I picked up the Captain... and now KOing opponents has never been easier. Sure he has short range, but every character has thier ups and downs.

Anyway, Captain Falcon still refrains from using his pistol becuase he would feel bad for all of his Nintendo buddies. Imagine a projectile Falcon Punch?!
