Smash Lord
First, I am going to be serious:
Falcon has never had quick moves (with a few exceptions). L canceling fixed this problem by killing his landing lag. Thanks to that he had an amazing aerial game combined with his fast running speed.
Now, not only were his positives traits removed but his mediocre ones were made even worse. In order to transition with characters from Melee to Brawl you had to quit playing them Melee style and start playing them Brawl style. The thing is, Falcon's Melee and Brawl style are both awful. His raptor boost's priority is very bad, his running speed is nothing special now, his grabs don't kill and they can't combo, his aerial priority is worse, his smash attacks' power has been reduced, his tilts are weaker (and I think slower), and his recovery still sucks. In Brawl a lot of moves that were not previously viable became more useful. This is not the case with Falcon. His Falcon Punch is still way too slow, his Falcon kick is weak, and his upB is very predictable.
I hope someone proves me wrong, but as a Melee Falcon main this is my analysis. It makes me very sad and I wish it weren't true. He doesn't even deserve his hard nipples anymore.
