The veteran of F-Zero fame has returned to the fray, this time, with his Blue Falcon at hand.

When the Raptor Boost is used in the air it immediately sends opponents flying to the ground. The trick is using this to your advantage, it works especially well to edge-guard, as it's very hard to recover from a fall if you're being sent to the ground, especially if you have very high damage, and even more so against characters whose recovery move has limited vertical range.

He also excels with his throw combos, which makes it easy to set up combos. Every now and then set up a good 4 or 5 downward throws at once without letting your opponent recover from them too much.

The last thing is: Falcon punch is good when you have the chance. Don't go throwing out Falcon punch every second move; wait until you get the chance, freeze them, stun them, hit them with a pit fall. Just do whatever it takes to get them in a position where you can land a good Falcon punch without having to think twice.

B button1 buttonB buttonB button Falcon PunchIf you tilt the Control Stick backwards while this move charges, he'll turn around and perform it in that direction instead. Doing this makes it slightly more powerful than normal. The main drawback of this attack is that it takes a bit of time to execute, so it is very easy to counter this attack. Like the Falcon Dive, this attack has a very high chance of KOs

[edit] Final Smash

Captain falcon's Final Smash, The Blue Falcon
Captain falcon's Final Smash, The Blue Falcon

Blue Falcon: Caption Falcon summons his Blue Falcon in front of him to hit any number of opponents. Captain Falcon then teleports his victim to an unknown track and rams them with his car, the Blue Falcon. The attack causes very high knockback, often a one-hit KO if the opponent has a medium damage level. However, this only works if he hits someone when summoning his car. He is the only character with a cinematic final smash.
