Captain Falcon (SSF2)

Captain Falcon is a veteran starter character in Super Smash Flash 2. He was added to the game in Version 0.8 as a hidden character, then made a starter in the following version. Captain Falcon is the only character representation of the F-Zero franchise, much like in the official Super Smash Bros. series. His sprites are custom-made and based on his appearance in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, though his moveset is taken from Super Smash Bros. Melee and his voice clips from Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Captain Falcon is ranked 11th on the tier list for Version 1.3 of the game. He possesses fast attacks, a great grab game, and very useful aerials, giving him one of the strongest combo games in the entire cast. He also has amazing mobility, with one of the fastest dashes, a great air speed, and a strong ground to air to tie them together. He has a multitude of powerful finishers, including his forward smash, down smash, back air, down air, Falcon Dive, Knee Smash, and, of course, the Falcon Punch.

However, he is extremely susceptible to juggles and chain-grabs due to his above-average weight, high gravity, and fast falling speed. Not helping matters is his lackluster recovery, which requires him to have considerable vertical height to be effective, making him an easy target for gimps if he gets caught below stage without his double jump or gets semi-spiked. He has a lot of difficulty dealing with characters that outrange him, like or, or possess strong projectile games, like  or , as he lacks disjointed attacks and projectiles.

With that being said, Captain Falcon's power and speed more than make up for any shortcomings he has, putting him near the top of high tier.
