A reoccurring theme I see from a lot of n00b Falcon Mains are complaints that whine about how much Falcon sucks or how hard he is. Like if you ****ing hate falcon so much or think matchups are impossible why not just switch characters or get better than your opponent so it doesn't matter how bad a matchup is ? (**** marth)
BUT I personally truly love falcon as a character. Although I started playing characters such as Luigi/ Doc/ Game n watch when I was a n00b, watching my first Ken and Isai set for Moast 3 converted me into an Isai fanboy and a Captain Falcon fan. I still think Isai is probably the sickest falcon player in falcon's history
But what keeps me playing falcon? What I like about falcon in comparison to better characters is that he hardly, if at all, has anything that is considered lame or'broken'. He can't shinespike, keep you in a perpetual state of partial stun lock before a lengthy combo, or have an obscene range/ recovery/ etc.
To win against good opponents I feel that you have to find that right option. This is true for any character good enough to hang but I feel that people dismiss falcon in his amount of options. Most mediocre falcon players I see simply dash-dance camp. This is not only boring as ****, but dash-dancing, unless it is extremely good dash-dancing, is increasingly easy to predict vs better players.
My edge-cancel game is simply a tactic to increase the amount of options/ mix-ups I can do. Captain Falcon's potential is not fully tapped IMO. And while it is 98% probably true that even if you did unlock Falcon's potential he would still be worse than the top tiers, i think he can get kinda close to how good they are. I'm still getting better at this game so until I hit a wall I will probably not stop believing this. Until a combination of me getting good enough, dr. PeePee gets sick, Mango doesn't try, etc. i think its possible that falcon can win big tourneys. if you don't agree, its understandable hopefully I can prove you wrong
Also, falcon's weaknesses are not as bad as people think. For example, I think his recovery if mixed up well-enough is mid-tier as ****. And only bad on FD.
Maybe you do have to work harder to win as falcon according to most people (I think all characters are pretty tough), but to me it just adds to that **** feeling of ****** some punk ***. Hax said that retiring people who lost to captain falcon is ****, well I have my fair share of people I retired either for a few months or forever.
tl;dr, falcons sick, and if you are going to lose at least don't lose by being a lame dash-dance camping ****o
