Has anyone ever notice something about Falco players that use the white color? In just a matter of months, they'll switch to a completely different color.

95% of the time...it's green/black Falco

I've also noticed something else: players that fall prey to this "Falco Curse" will often times lose some of their tech skill.

W....T....F....:psycho:

by white, do you mean blue or normal? becuase the blue falco (like blue fox) is reserved for very technical players, its not that they lose the their tech skill when they change color, its that they stop showing their flashiness as much, and therefore can't play blue falco anymore. btw: all of the above is BS, and i don't think there is any pattern to your statement, you didn't even offer any examples.

Blue is also cool.
Like, cooler than all the other colored Falco's.
Yes, I am THE curse breaker, since I've always played blue (white) falco.

As I suspected!

Oh and mathos....blue falco just seems a little predictable to me. Red is obviously more unexpected

Wanna know why? because red Falcos are a dime a dozen

I've been playing blue falco ever since i picked up the game. I get mad when other players pick falco and his blue jacket before me...argh.....so i have to be weary of other falco players. Il be really paranoid and immediately move my button to falco's pic, press A, and quickly get to the blue jacket, then give a sigh of relief.

You know what the real question is?

WTF is up with people saying that Falco's blue costume is "white".

That's right, because red falco is faster than blue falco. Every color has different abilities!

red ---> faster
green ---> more power
blue ---> technical
normal ---> neutral

Awesome thread!

I only pick blue but it makes me mad because Im reminded of star trek with that color (dunno why) And as far as the skill thing goes I can simply see better with blue so I play better

Why would you not play as black Falco? There is not a better greaser/wop/guido outfit in the game.

MasterTK, thats a great observation you have, I tried it out, and you are correct. Im amazed thats not in the guides anywhere.....

i actually think the point of this thread is that most falco's start out blue, then change their main color. It is a little limited in scope, but has merit. Just for kicks, I can't stand blue anymore, and almost never play it, but used to exclusively play blue when I started.

It is silly to say color does NOT have a psychological affect - it very much does. Human beings aren't robots, we have preferences, and perform better when our preferences are met.

Well... I started playing blue Falco when I first took up playing him... and I haven't changed. I just find it to be the best color. However, it does make sense to me that some people may change after a while. A change can be very refreshing, it can actually really help you psychologically.

But still. Go blue Falco!

red has to be the best jacket for falco... although he is a little too cocky for my taste with the collar popped and all... i cant really tell.. but does he have on a scarf up under his jacket... or is that a turtle neck??? it would be nice if they gave him red boots as well

i played on a tv with with an orange falco once. yup.
lol
so he would have had all the advantages of red (speed) and the advantages of crap tv yellow (wich i can only relate to picachu.... and we all know HE has no advantages lol)
so at least you had the speed goin... and i reckon falco would look better with metal legs... after all he does jump pretty high on a full jump....
mechanical legs for brawl.... lol
and xelad your so rude... go back to preschool and learn some manners... just cause someone posts a thread that is a little different than the others doesnt give you a rite to call them a noob.... if your gonna do that dont post here anymore... i for one dont appreciate the way you go on about things... and i have never seen vids of you anywhere xelad... so before you go into the video section and decide wich thread is gonna cop it for the day... just stop, breathe in, remember your a jerk, breathe out, then log off...

Wait a minute who's lying? Every character's colors, including Falco's, provides different beneficial effects.

Red Falco gives me the ability of eyeburn. :( Maybe it burns my opponent too, though.

Blue Falco...well, you know how no one wants you to wear a powder blue tux? It's kinda like that, but since it's a fight, it's 10x worse.

Wow this thread is like the time I convinced my 6 year old cousin that pink Yoshi has more priority over the others. Does that now give me the privilege of calling you all n00bs?
