  • Falcon Punch A Perigine Falcon has fast speed. This may have been inspired the Falcon Punch, as it is a fast move. As of Brawl, you can reverse it in the opposite direction.

  • Raptor Boost This looks similar to an uppercut he uses on someone in the comic book included with the original F-Zero. Before SSB4 and after 64, he would go helpless if he was near a ledge. This might be inspired by a vehicle falling off a course in F-Zero.

  • Blue Falcon Self-explanatory and already covered it in my Ganon episode.

  • Forward smash Possibly based off him using his elbow against someone in the F-Zero comic. This was his up smash in 64, but a bit different.

  • Physical attacks In the early stages of Super Smash Bros., it was called Dragon King: The Fighting Game. Sakurai admits some animations for the "Secret 4" were borrowed from other characters in 64. This goes for Falcon as well. He borrowed some moves from Samus and possibly some moves from some of the Dragon King games. From the few screenshots of it that exist, their moves do seem similar.

  • Trivia The F-Zero games are very fast paced. Captain Falcon has fast running speed, attacks, and aerial movement. Also, if you're hit by one small thing, you're dead. In Smash, if you lose a stock to a Captain Falcon player, he's already won. This is due to his amazing combos and KO moves.

  • So that wraps up Falcon's conclusion. There will be a bonus episode after Bayonetta covering up mistakes like Know Your Moves, which was my source. Next up is the Mayor of Animal Crossing himself,...VILLAGER!
