I do, but it seems like there's little for me to add. I rarely play Brawl anymore. I guess I'd be forced to just kinda screw around.

Is Cf good to play defensively?
The thing is Falcon is designed to be a highly aggressive character but his low priority and slow attacks prevent him from playing at his best. If your opponent has a projectile, Falcon is forced to go in an aggressive state. If not, playing defensively is your best bet but he's not good overall. :ohwell:

I hope this helps :)

Captain Falcon is a character that's supposed to be majorly offensive - - however, I've had more than a fair share of trouble against smart Falcon mains who instead 'wait and punish'. Falcon is a quick, lagless character who can offer fast punishment and retaliation from a player's errors.

His smash attacks have moderate kill potential, regardless how slow they are. The rate that they come out and the range they cover and allow you to space and punish pretty simply. All in all, he's made to be offensive, but his defensive game can be just as good.

Guys... you seriously should consider camping with Falcon (aka aircamping or running away like a little girl).
I just tried around with it and it's awesome.

Thats one of the strongest component of Falcons defensive game.

I made a thread about it recently, and someone elst did a really long time ago.

Hah. If you play similarily to Wario, you'll kick arse.
I honestly believe that Falcon has HUGE potential with this bait-and-punish strategy. He just needs someone to prove it. :V
