| '''Captain Falcon''' is a character from the ''[[Wikipedia:F-Zero|F-Zero]]'' series. He is an F-Zero racer and a secret bounty hunter, with a mysterious past. In the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], he appears as a playable character that has alternated between being readily available (''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'') or unlockable (''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'').
| |
|
| |
| Throughout the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, Captain Falcon is known for his blend of speed and power, as well as his various signature moves, such as the [[Falcon Punch]] and Knee Smash. In addition, the [[Fighting Wire Frames|Male Wire Frame]] and [[Fighting Alloy Team|Red Alloy]] are modeled after Captain Falcon, having some of the exact same attacks and similar idle poses. In the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, Captain Falcon is voiced by Ryō Horikawa, speaking English with a false American accent.
| |
|
| |
| While Captain Falcon's other ''Mario''-related crossover appearances are very limited, his vehicle, the [[fzerowiki:Blue Falcon|Blue Falcon]], and other elements from his home series have featured prominently in later ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' games (with the Blue Falcon appearing as a [[Blue Falcon|kart]]).

| Captain Falcon has appeared as a playable character in every game in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] released thus far. He is available from the start in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', but is unlockable in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.

| |
| [[File:FalcSmash.PNG|thumb|left|100px|Official artwork of Captain Falcon from ''Super Smash Bros.'']]
| |
| Captain Falcon is an unlockable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', unlocked by clearing 1-P Mode in under 20 minutes and defeating him on [[Planet Zebes]] (since there is no stage based on his own series in this game). Despite having a slow walking speed, Captain Falcon has the fastest running speed. His attacks, however, despite being powerful, are for the most part slow. His design in this game is based on his design from ''[[fzerowiki:F-Zero X|F-Zero X]]'', though his outfit is purple instead of blue.
| |
|
| |
| Captain Falcon's special attacks are unique in that none of them are based upon any aspect of his series of origin. His special moves are the [[#Falcon Punch|Falcon Punch]], which involves Captain Falcon charging and unleashing a powerful, fiery punch; [[#Falcon Kick|Falcon Kick]], which has Captain Falcon kicking across the ground; and [[#Falcon Dive|Falcon Dive]], in which Falcon jumps and punches straight up.
| |
|
| |
| Captain Falcon is also unique in that he has a total of six playable recolors beginning with this installment, with two of the recolors being team battle exclusive. One of Captain Falcon's alternate costumes is that of his evil clone, [[FZeroWiki:Blood Falcon|Blood Falcon]], including a patch on his uniform saying "25 - Blood Hawk", which corresponds to the number and name of Blood Falcon's own [[F-Zero Racer]]. Another one of his colors recolors the original, brighter colors used in the ''F-Zero'' series. Captain Falcon has the most color changes of the selectable characters in the game, totalling six.

| |
| {{main-external|SmashWiki|Captain Falcon (SSBM)}}
| |
| Captain Falcon appears in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', this time as a default character instead of an unlockable character (a trait shared with [[Ness]]). Captain Falcon also appears as an opponent in [[Adventure Mode]], All-Star Mode, and Event Matches 12, 17, 20, 33, 36, and 43. He is also one of the random characters in Trophy Tussle 1, 2, and 3. Captain Falcon's fighting techniques are shared with [[Ganondorf]], who has similar abilities, but is slower and has more powerful attacks.
| |
|
| |
| In the transition between the two games, many of Captain Falcon's moves, such as his smash attacks and neutral aerial, have been completely changed and upgraded. He also receives the side special move [[#Raptor Boost|Raptor Boost]], in which he charges forward to deliver an uppercut attack.
| |
|
| |
| Captain Falcon has a unique way of using certain items in this game. For example, when using a [[Home-Run Bat]], Captain Falcon slams the opponent down and then up again instead of hitting them across the screen. According to the [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] information of the [[Star Rod (Kirby)|Star Rod]], it has the most power when it is used with a Smash Attack of Captain Falcon or [[Sheik]].

| |
| Captain Falcon appears as an unlockable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', and can be unlocked by clearing stage 20 in the [[Subspace Emissary]], playing 70 versus matches, or by clearing Classic in 12 minutes on at least Normal difficulty. However, he has been superseded by [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] as the fastest runner. Captain Falcon's design is now primarily based on ''[[fzerowiki:F-Zero GX|F-Zero GX]]'', though he wears a scarf similar to his design in ''[[fzerowiki:F-Zero: GP Legend|F-Zero: GP Legend]]''. Captain Falcon's Final Smash is the [[#Blue Falcon|Blue Falcon]], in which he summons the machine to run over any players he catches.
| |
|
| |
| =====The Subspace Emissary=====
| |
| [[File:SubspaceIntro-CaptainFalcon.png|thumb|left|Captain Falcon's snapshot in the Subspace Emissary]]
| |
| In the [[Subspace Emissary]], Captain Falcon saves [[Captain Olimar]] and his [[Pikmin]] from a giant [[R.O.B.]] Later, he and Olimar save [[Donkey Kong]] with the help of [[Diddy Kong]] and they join a team with them. After getting through the [[Subspace Bomb Factory]], they meet up with [[Samus Aran]] and [[Pikachu]] but soon, Ganondorf appears and gets all R.O.B.s in the factory to burn the [[Ancient Minister]] and detonate [[Subspace Bomb]]s to create a giant hole in space. The Minister turns out to be a R.O.B. himself, who joins Falcon's team, and then, after the [[Subspace Army]] is taken care of, the whole team decides to leave the area.
| |
|
| |
| Captain Falcon calls his [[Falcon Flyer]] and after everyone gets on, they are attacked by [[Meta Ridley]], whom must be defeated in a certain time limit. they all fly to [[The Canyon]] where they meet up with everyone else. Everyone enters [[Subspace (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|Subspace]] and find themselves being turned into trophies by [[Tabuu]]. [[King Dedede]] and his group then arrive and revive Captain Falcon and most of the others until everyone is revived and able to take on Tabuu.

| |
| Captain Falcon appears as a default character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]''. Although his moveset's aesthetics remained largely unchanged, a number of his moves underwent noticeable mechanical changes. Captain Falcon's grab game, in particular, became notably more potent, thanks to the combination of his quick, long-distanced dash grab and the considerable combo potential of his down throw.
| |
|
| |
| ====''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''====
| |
| {{main-external|SmashWiki|Captain Falcon (SSBU)}}
| |
| [[File:11-Captain Falcon.png|thumb|left|100px|Captain Falcon's stock icon]]
| |
| Captain Falcon appears as an unlockable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. His jump timing, air speed, walking speed and already outstanding dashing speed are each faster. Several of Captain Falcon's close-range options and special moves have also improved in a variety of ways, although these are largely counterbalanced by other changes to his moveset, particularly his notorious dash grab and down throw both being toned down.
| |
|
| |
| In the World of Light, Captain Falcon is present when the fighters oppose [[Galeem]] for the first time. When Galeem begins to vaporize the fighters with a barrage of energy beams, Captain Falcon attempts to flee in his Blue Falcon, but he too is vaporized before he can board it.

| ====Special moves====
| |
| =====Falcon Punch=====
| |
| [[File:SSBU Falcon Punch.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Falcon Punch in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'']]
| |
| {{main-external|SmashWiki|Falcon Punch}}
| |
| '''Falcon Punch''' is Captain Falcon's standard special move. While the move is original to the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' games]] and does not originate in ''F-Zero'', it essentially became his signature move, to the point that it was occasionally mentioned and used in ''F-Zero'' media.
| |
|
| |
| When using this move, Captain Falcon holds his arm back, charges it up, and then pushes forward, attacking with a powerful punch as he yells, "FALCON... PUNCH!" However, if Captain Falcon is attacked during the charging process, the attack is automatically canceled. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'', Captain Falcon can turn around while charging the attack, which gives the attack more power. When Captain Falcon succeeds in the attack, the fire that appears around his hand takes on the shape of a falcon. The player can also hear a falcon squawk when doing this.
| |
|
| |
| In ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U'', the Falcon Punch's first custom variant is '''Falcon Dash Punch''', in which Captain Falcon dashes forward as he performs the punch, though it deals less damage and he is vulnerable before attacking. The second variant is '''Mighty Falcon Punch''', which takes longer to charge up and is actually weaker, despite its description stating it is more powerful.
| |
|
| |
| [[Ganondorf]]'s [[Ganondorf#Warlock Punch|Warlock Punch]] works the same way as Falcon Punch, but is much slower and more powerful, and protects Ganondorf from being launched in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U''.

| =====Raptor Boost=====
| |
| [[File:Raptor Boost Wii U.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Raptor Boost in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'']]
| |
| {{main-external|SmashWiki|Raptor Boost}}
| |
| '''Raptor Boost''' is Captain Falcon's side special move. When used, Captain Falcon performs a very swift punch while dashing across the ground and hit anyone who gets in the way, sending them into the air with an uppercut. However, he will stumble and fall forward if he does not hit an opponent. If Captain Falcon executes this move in the air, he flies through the air and punches opponents downward, making the move a [[meteor smash]]. However, using this move while airborne leaves him helpless afterwards. In addition, while in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' and ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' the aerial version of the move is a meteor smash regardless, in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U'', the opponent must be directly under Captain Falcon in order for the meteor smash to happen.
| |
|
| |
| In ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U'', the Raptor Boost's first custom variant is '''Heavy Raptor Boost''', which is slower than the default move but is less prone to being interrupted. The second is '''Wind-up Raptor Boost''', in which Captain Falcon steps back before charging forward; the move also charges faster.
| |
|
| |
| Ganondorf's [[Ganondorf#Gerudo Dragon|Gerudo Dragon]] move in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' functions similar to the Raptor Boost. However, this attack sends the opponent flying diagonally upwards, regardless of whether or not the move is used in the air or not. In later games, his [[Ganondorf#Flame Choke|Flame Choke]] uses a similar animation, but is a grab move rather than a punch.

| |
| [[File:Falcon Dive Wii U.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Falcon Dive in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'']]
| |
| {{main-external|SmashWiki|Falcon Dive}}
| |
| '''Falcon Dive''' is Captain Falcon's up special move. When used, Captain Falcon punches upwards, which acts as a third jump. In addition, if he hits an opponent on the way up, he will grab them, say "Yes!" and cause an explosion, sending the opponent flying. Captain Falcon can use this attack multiple times consecutively, but only if it hits someone; if it fails to hit, he is left helpless. Ganondorf's attack, [[Ganondorf#Dark Dive|Dark Dive]], behaves similarly to this move.
| |
|
| |
| In ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U'', the Falcon Dive's first custom variant is '''Falcon Strike''', which has a higher jump but Captain Falcon cannot grab opponents when using it. The second is '''Explosive Falcon Dive''', which has a more powerful explosion when hitting an opponent at the cost of jump height.

| {{main-external|SmashWiki|Falcon Kick}}
| |
| '''Falcon Kick''' is Captain Falcon's down special move. Captain Falcon yells "Falcon Kick!", while performing a flying kick across the ground, damaging anyone who is in the way. If performed in the air, Captain Falcon kicks towards the ground diagonally, depending on which way he's facing, hurting anyone he hits. A similar move is Ganondorf's [[Ganondorf#Wizard's Foot|Wizard's Foot]].
| |
|
| |
| In ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U'', the Falcon Kick's first custom variant is '''Falcon Kick Fury''', which hits multiple times and can launch opponents. The second variation is '''Lightning Falcon Kick''', which deals electrical damage rather than fire and can go through opponents.

| |
| '''[[fzerowiki:Blue Falcon|Blue Falcon]]''' is Captain Falcon's [[Final Smash]]. Upon activating it, Captain Falcon calls the [[Blue Falcon|vehicle]], and it drives past at high speed and hits anybody nearby as he jumps inside. The victims land on a track, where Captain Falcon speeds towards them and runs them over. When returning to the stage, the victims are automatically sent flying. In ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U'', the sound effect that plays before starting a race in the original ''F-Zero'' can be heard when Captain Falcon speeds towards his opponents. In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', fiery wings can be seen on the sides of the Blue Falcon.

Other elements from the ''F-Zero'' series appear in the game in the ''[[The Legend of Zelda × Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Animal Crossing × Mario Kart 8]]'' DLC packs; Captain Falcon's trademark [[Blue Falcon]] and ''F-Zero'' themed tracks named [[Mute City]] and [[Big Blue]] respectively, which even features ''F-Zero'' music.

The Falcon Punch packs the highest degree of destructive power, while the explosive Raptor Boost can be used to smash airborne foes into the depths.

Falcon uses his Falcon Dive to grab an enemy in midair and fling them away with an explosive blast. He can do this technique repeatedly without landing, so it can also be used as a recovery move.

| |''In the F-Zero racing scene, Captain Falcon uses his Blue Falcon to win big. His origin largely a mystery, he's made his way to the Smash Bros. battlefield to prove his worth outside the cockpit. He's got speed and power, and his distinct Falcon Punch leaves a dent. Start it in the air to surprise your foes!''
| |
| |''We love it when this F-Zero pilot from Port Town takes a break from racing the Blue Falcon to take on challengers in brawls. His balance of speed, power and weight is spot on, and his slow but mighty Falcon Punch is oh so sweet when it finally connects. Try starting the attack in mid-air and punching your way into a frantic fray!''

| |''Captain Falcon's default down special, Falcon Kick, is no ordinary kick—it surges forward in a fiery blaze. It's a versatile attack that moves sideways on the ground and diagonally down in the air. His forward air attack, Knee Smash, can send an enemy flying for miles if hit just right.''
| |
| |''The captain's Falcon Kick isn't just any old kick - it blazes either to the side or diagonally down to terrorise the enemy. Its speed also makes it top-notch for surprise attacks! Another move to try out is his forward air attack, Knee Smash. If you get as close to someone as you can before using it, it can launch them miles!''

If he manages to grab you, there's no escape. The impact launches its victims diagonally upward.''

| |
| *'''[[Pit (character)|Pit]]''': Whoa... It's Captain Falcon!
| |
| *'''Viridi''': Oh, he's a captain! What ship does he command?
| |
| *'''Pit''': I think he's more like a pilot or something.
| |
| *'''Viridi''': All these fighters have tons of skill and experience, but you can still hold your own. If we brought vehicles into the picture, though, that would be a totally different story.
| |
| *'''Pit''': Good thing that's not the case. I'd be no match for an F-Zero machine or an Arwing.
| |
| *'''Viridi''': Plus, those G-Diffuser systems are terrible for the environment.
| |
| *'''Pit''': Uh, you sure know a lot about space machinery. For being the goddess of nature and all.
| |
| *'''Palutena''': Anyway, if you're near Captain Falcon, watch out for his jump-and-Falcon Punch combo.
