Uh oh. Looks like a different Captain Falcon...

[smash_fo_life]

The old Captain Falcon DID wear a scarf, it was just tucked away. It's just more obvious now.

Look at the old pictures and look at his neck, you will see the loose fabric of the scarf.

looks like his head is fatter

Of course. Thats because the pokemon anime is almost synonymous with the video game series.

Well, technically, you'll notice that the Pokemon anime does have alot of stuff that contradicts the games if you're a total PokeNerd {like me} and pay extra close attention.

Is it me or is the Brawl Captain Falcon...crappy? He just doesn't look right but I can't put my finger on it...

QFT! The melee captain falcon looks far stronger and looks more toned and detailed and just more epic overall! the brawl one does indeed look like crap.

 

[WaffleGuyPerson]

His head looks so...misproportioned compared to his body. What the?

Of course. Thats because the pokemon anime is almost synonymous with the video game series.

However, the f-zero anime isn't canon whatsoever. If you want to go even deeper into it:
the first reason is because, unlike the pokemon anime and games, the F-zero anime and games greatly contradict eachother. For example-

most obvious fact is that douglas J falcon doesn't exist in the anime. But for some reason, you keep on denying this fact.
Also obvious is that many characters are dramatically different from thier video game counterparts. For example, octoman in F-zero GX is a normal guy/alien who races to support his family and people. However, in the anime, he's an evil terrorist.
Also and the final stake in the heart in your little theory is the presence of black shadow in the anime. Since you keep on believing that Bart=Douglas, keep in mind that in F-zero GX, Falcon stays himself throughout the entire game. However, near the end of the game, black shadow is killed by deathborn. So if the F-zero anime took place before F-zero GX, then black shadow wouldn't be in GX. But if it took place after GX, Black shadow wouldn't be in the anime. GP legend just doesn't fit in the timeline.

And if you still need more convincing, Bart has an entirely different voice then Ryu/Rick. But SSBM falcon and SSBB falcon sound exactly the same. thread over.

also, the videogame with Ryu in it was based on the anime.

The Pokemon anime and the games always contradict eachother.

Rock types are immune to electricity in the anime. Not in the games.
Misty's Psyduck hit a dark type Pokemon with a physcic attack. Dark types are immune to physic moves.
Brock's croagunk hit a scizor with poison jab. Steel types are immune to poison.

And LOOOOOOOOTS more.

I don't watch the anime by the way. I just know this stuff from Wikipedia and Pokemon fansites.

Rock types are immune to electricity in the anime. Not in the games.

Actually, Rock types are immune to Electric type attacks, or at least take so little damage from them that it's barely even noticed.

Correction, Ground types are immune.

Take a look.
Falcon lost his dimple! OMG
D:
This will 100% change how CF his played and lower his tier position!

 

[SenorPresidente]

I like Rick he is a pretty cool guy. Awesome.

But the shoulder pad and belt are much more badass, so that might cancel it out! [/hopeful]

He really needs to lose the kneepads though, unleash the power of the knee.

 

[meleemaster500]

His head looks so...misproportioned compared to his body. What the?

well, not really in the first picture his head is smaller than one of his pecs, the newer version has a larger, but more proportionate size,

by the way WHY IS THIS THREAD STILL ALIVE!!!! please lock!

 

[Sailyfee]

Question - Did Rick Wheeler EVER drive the Blue Falcon?

[NeoHippie41]

Something looks seriously wrong with the Brawl Falcon. I don't like it at all.


And if you ever talk to a Pokemon in the games, like one that's sitting in the PKMN Center or anything the text is parts of their name usually. So that is canon, not just the anime.
