| Probably one of the most dominating players in the game, Captain Falcon's greatest assets are his speed, his backwards throw, and his fire kick. His Falcon Punch, while powerful and certainly effective in certain situations (notably, immediately after being given a new life and while still invincible for a couple of seconds), should not be relied upon too heavily because it requires about two seconds to charge up during which time Falcon is vulnerable to any number of attacks from opponents. The Falcon Kick useful move (note that it is not nearly as powerful as the Falcon Punch) because with it you can attack a player from a distance (i.e., the move glides Falcon across the board). The Falcon Kick is particularly effective if used when an opponent is already off the board (i.e., Do a Falcon Kick off the edge, hit the opponent, and jump back - Falcon can make it). The Fire Kick (Falcon's Forward + A) is also a devastating weapon, but, again, be prudent when using it because it is a slightly slower move than, say, Link's Forward + A move. The Fire Kick should be used primarily to finish players off once they are off the edge and jumping back. Finally, Falcon's throw, particularly his reverse throw (R + Joystick away from the opponent) is probably his most useful attribute. For one, players are defenseless against the grab (a shield does not block it). Moreover, it can be used to clear out a brawl. Falcon's greatest strengths, unlike Link's, do not lend themselves to melees, so it is generally in Falcon's best interest to throw players away from one another and then isolate. Falcon's speed enables him to run quickly up to players, grab them, and then throw them before they can defend themselves. When near an edge, using the reverse throw to launch players off the board is an effective strategy, too.

| | As a top tier character, Captain Falcon can dominate a game with his speed and power. His ability to combo his opponents up to a high percentage in a very short amount of time makes him an excellent 1 vs. 1 character. However, because of the chaotic nature of multiplayer Smash, Falcons ability to take control of a game is diminished, as isolating an opponent to combo them is difficult with multiple adversaries. In order to have a successful fight using Falcon, one must always keep in mind that he is a momentum character. Using his speed to move an opponent to a more isolated area, followed by relentlessly pile on damage with aerial attacks is a great formula for success with Captain Falcon. |
