Yoshi is a green dinosaur from the aptly named "Yoshi's Island."  He is renowned for his ability to flutter in the air, throw eggs, and turn enemies into eggs. All of these and many other moves are retained in Smash Brothers.

Amongst competitive players, they ca all agree for certain that Yoshi is one of the characters that has developed the most in Melee. Initially VERY poorly regarded and considered among the worst for multiple crippling flaws (most prominent being his lack to jump out of shield, a flaw that also exists in Brawl), and his lack of a recovery up special (though this is somewhat compensated by his midair jump covering the most distance and having super armor, as well as his very high air speed), slow attacks lead him straight to bottom tier-vile, and he was viewed as a joke for a long time.

However, in 2011, the infamous aMSa showed off some of Yoshi's tremendous strengths, including his shield granting him the ability to parry and counter-attack, his outstanding combo game (especially against fast-fallers) with his nasty double-jump cancel, very flexible and combo-friendly projectile in Egg Throw,and many more. This has lead the adorable dino to become a respectable character.

Captain Douglas Jay Falcon is a character in the [[:Category:F-Zero|F-Zero series]], Nintendo's fast-paced futuristic racing video game franchise.  Captain Falcon races in a F-Zero machine called the Blue Falcon, arguably the most well-rounded vehicle in the games.  He is the winner of the F-Zero X Grand Prix and if successful again during the F-Zero Grand Prix in F-Zero GX, according to an interview, he will use the prize money towards building another machine, the Neo Blue Falcon.  When he is not taking part in races, he works as a bounty hunter.  While most of his past is a complete mystery, it is known that his body and mind are honed from the many battles he has survived.

But regardless, he is definitely more well known for his appearance in Smash than in F-Zero. In Smash, he is an absolute badass with style, speed, power, and fan-fav moves like the Knee Smash (the best forward aerial in Melee, no doubt due to it's combo utility, sheer KO power, and flexibility) and Falcon Punch & Kick sprinkled in his swag moveset. He is the character most resistant to vertical kills due to his weight and falling speed (2nd fastest). His neutral is also very strong.However, his lack of a projectile, surprisingly slow attack speed and awful recovery (with Falcon Dive being unable to grab edgehoggers) can impair some matchups.

But overall, the Cap is a tank with gifted speed, having high damage output and being able to take the same punishment, with the fastest speed in the game to compliment, and capability to outperform anyone.
