I tend to get more respect for maining falcon, actually......
Sure, people crack jokes. But people are impressed with a fairly competent falcon more so than any other character. Sweetspotting for a kill or Falcon Punching for one still gets the crowd pretty excited at tournies. Smashers at the LAN center i play at get on my side a lot because I'm using falcon....
I'm sure any other falcon who plays with a large amount of smashers can attest to this. Artie? Darkyanite? Keykid mentioned to me at the tournament he went to everyone was rooting for him....
We don't have it so bad. Yes, our character is possibly bottom tier, low at best.....but we can still win with him. Hell, we can still beat top tier characters with him. We could use Marth, or Metaknight, or Snake.....but in reality, I'm not M2K, or Alpha Zealot. I don't plan on coming in first place at a tournament....because honestly there are tons of people out there who are far more talented and technical than me at smash bros.
Of course i want to win. I play this game competitively. But am I going to be a clone and use the characters that 90 percent of the competitive community uses? No....I want to stand out. I want to enjoy this community while i still can (life does start at some point..)......I want to be the underdog, and when everything's said and done I want to be known as a good falcon player who people respected.
That's what you guys should want. That or more.
Sorry for the rant...just started typing and that's where it ended.....ha....
All I'm saying is that I think that while our character might be a "joke", we as falcon mainers, players who know what they're doing with falcon, who do relatively well with him....we get a lot of respect.
That's my take.
