Is anyone else a little mad about how many falco players there are out there? I know he's a great character and all, but am I the only person who wants to get a lot better with other characters simply for the sake of originality?

Yeah, I started playing falco before I knew anything about a smash community, just hanging out in my friends' basements.

But still, you go to a smash fest and there are always soooo many falco dittos. And that's not necessarily how it is at the top pro level.

In Southern California, Falco isn't the problem. There are many Falcos, but what the problem is all there is are Shieks, Marths, and Foxs. Every tournament i've gone to, I don't think i've faced anything else. Except Jigglypuff and Samus.

I'm new here in the community but Falco has always been my main character even before i got to know this place existed or that there was a tier list. I guess I'm just glad the character I've been using is somewhat good.

Maybe at an MLG, sure. But probably not at your local smashfest.

It's because SHL is broken. I used to use Fox, but then I had to use mindgames to do damage. Now I just have to short hop and shoot a laser. So easy. Not only that, but that one stupid laser hit sets up all sorts of crazy brokenness. If it wasn't for Wobbling, Falco would be the uncontested most broken character.

Falco is a real beast to play as, and play against. My cousin plays a mean Falco. I can pretty much only keep up with him when I use Peach and sometimes Samus. So I can see why Falco is so popular. Pretty fast, high jumps, nice aerials, the blaster, the SHINE. Scary to play against I'll tell ya. His recovery is bad though and so I usually just turnip him to death till he falls to his death.
