I wonder why most people consider his recovery as so bad.
Easily edgehogged, very predictable, not hard to intercept. Sure it's not the worst recovery in Brawl, but the only recoveries it is easily better than are those of Ness, Link, Ganondorf, and Tethers.

I rarely, very, very rarely experience somebody gimping me.
Who are you playing?

its already been stated here multiple times. i think its a passable, better than Ivy's.

the the players you fight are too generous, but if im not Wolf i will gimp you.

The trick is just to recover as late as possible, since it has some huge horizontal range, when enemy isn't edgehogging you, you'll see the Captain has some stretching-arms ;)
Even if someone is edgehogging me I just jump over the ledge on the stage, you just gotta time it right.
Also it's very useful if you hit enemy, you get a second recovery what makes it even better.

If you just fall down enough, maybe airdodge if enemy is going for ya, you'll land safely back on the stage.
10autoledgesuctions. and if your recovering from too low you can't land on stage, and even if you do they can just get up and toss you off again while you recover from landing lag. on the grabbing people part its not hard to time the invincible frames to not get grabbed while edgehogging. most characters can just flat out hit falcon while he's recovering.

that was so random, my jaw is still drooping. lol

I really don't think he is that bad (ignore my avatar and sig though).

His air-game's ok and Falcon Kick and Raptor Boost are alright and Falcon Punch is good for mind games :).

this is probably old and probably has been brought up multiple times so far, but oh well...

captin flacon is aweome
hes not the best but i can think of so many worse and better people

yoshi
jiggly
ness
dedede
diddy
wow, all of these characters are so much better than C. Falcon. anyone who says jiggs is worse than c. falcon is full of ****. In past tournament experience I've basically always taken at least 1 game off some of the midwest's best MK's and G&W's using her... though that may be because I'm the best jiggs out there right now... but still, she's got way the **** more potential than C. Falcon does, he sucks. the only character that might be worse than C. Falcon is ganon.

Nobody here's ever played a good Ganondorf? Fight ZeonStar. He's a beast with Ganondorf. The Side-B alone makes Ganondorf significantly better than Falcon.

Not really. Ganon's Side-B leads into various things, like a jab, a D-Smash, F-Tilt, D-air, etc. Ganon's smashes aren't that much slower (Except D-Smash) and they kill ridiculously early. A good Ganon could kill a light character in like, 6 hits. Nobody's really taken the time to master Ganon. I always thought he was crap too, but if you play ZeonStar you'll see that Ganon is a beast. Even the SBR (I think it was Overswarm himself) said so in the character discussion thread.

The main question is, what exactly does Captain Falcon have that doesn't make him deserve the Worst? What does Falcon have over the characters that people say he is Better than?

Captain falcon isnt that bad he quite good for ko's but has a tough job of causing dammage because he sends them to far away once you have hit him. Also i have mained evrey charcter appart from peach, R.O.B bowser and Donkey Kong. Captain Falcon was very hard to play with so i didnt use him for that long.

What does Ganon have over CF?
More Range, Alot More Power, Surprisingly better Air Game, Free Hits from Flame Choke, Tech Chasing with Flame Choke, more priority, Some decent and useful AT's, and the Majority of his moves have the same startup speed compared to Falcon.

The knee even though they nerfed the crap out of it, it's still strong. Falcon Pawnch? He's falcon. I mean hes at a disadvantage but still he's good in his own way lol.

I main falcon but I play cpu since i know barely anyone who plays ssbb as pro, and dont have wifi connection..

I connect the knee more often than others, I play on 5 difficulty teaming with a cpu, and I must admit Im not too bad, but king dedede just owns me even on 5 difficulty.

Falcons priority is so low though, and for some people maybe too fast.

I try to combo a side b, jump and u air to ko for lols, it actually works. But working on a side b and f air (knee) is extra hard.

Currently the only people I lose to with falcon are

Lucas, small and dodges many of falcons kicks, higher priority and quickish attacks
Dedede, I dont know!
Pikachu, same as lucas.
Falco, quick, huge priority (i think), strong, continuous a spam is easy and his hits have.. no lag.

Everyone else just fails to beat me on level 5. Im so good >.>

Try 9 >_> You will crap yourself at how good the cpu is, there sorta predictable because after every attack they dodge in the air. Think of it as melee, play some good music you like. Get into the mood and its easy to pwn lv 9's except Mario. For some reason when Im sonic it's hard as heck.

meh they can be a pain, but they aren't really hard. losing to them is a possibility though, as they aren't completely ******** this time around. but still they are just cpu's
btw uzaki, how's the situation now? got brawl already?
