Was 3.02 Falcon the best version of Falcon?

[Sodo]

And if so, what made him the best? If not, which version is better?

Objectively, 3.0 /.02 Falcon was proably the best. Had old "bugged" throw release points and Uthrow timing which was more favorable to Falcon. Pretty sure air Side B was true spike back then

Subjectively, 3.6 Falcon is the best because other chars got nerfed from 3.0 . Falcon was outshined by stuff like old Mewtwo, old Mario, etc. Similarily, patches even older than 3.0 are probably in a similar boat due to chars like Lucario / Sonic / Ike

Falcon is mostly the same throughout patches, but other character viability has a huge impact on him. He has had many formerly hard MU's or outstanding character threats nerfed over time. This matters more than whether his Side B spikes vs meteors, whether Uthrow has 2-3 more frames of lag, etc

I think in this final version falcon is at his best spot.

I think hes #1 on the tier list due to nerfs to the rest of the cast.

He struggled in melee vs spacies and sheik. I feel changes in PM made these MUs much closer.

Even in melee S2j and other falcons showed that its extremely doable. I think PM pushed the MUS to even at worst 55-45.

The Few MUs that are hard atm:

Meta Knight

Sheik

Diddy

Falco

Fox

All these MUs will get easier and easier the more falcons learn PM tech and the more they learn specifics of each MU.
I think after the next year or so falcons will only grow in rankings on the tier list.
