Let's talk about Falco

It's not easy being a space bird. Falco is often overlooked by players and is considered to be one of the worst in the game. To me it's a crime that so many people think that he's bad. In my opinion, he's a solid mid tier. I think that if people would start using him more (instead of only using Fox), we would realize that he's actually good. What's your opinion?

    He has deadly combos that kill very early. I dunno why anyone would think he's bad.

    In my opinion his foward air is very useful for comboing them offstage, to me and my friends he's overlooked as a pretty good character.

    I personally think he's overlooked, and I'm a Falco main as well, up air has good use, dash attack, to fairs KO as early as 30%, his grest recovery doesn't make it risky too. INCREDIBLE knockback growth on back air, one can fast fast forward air to footstool, down tilt to forward air is consistent. Excellent up smash, no sourspot, powerful,big hitbox, invincibility frames,only issue is ending lag.

    But his down air is not really good, while I think he was nerfed from Brawl, I think he can be at a solid 29th-38th place. His reflector is decent, while extremely nerfed his Blaster does have a bit of use, I think he can survive without Blaster, if Fox did it, why not Falco? Good back throw, definitely buffed.

    Exactly, he has all the tools to be placed higher up the tier list

    His laser also locks, meaning it still has use. Very careful accuracy is needed, but one can up air to down air, similarly to Mario one can also dash attack to down air. Here's a combo to show: Forward throw to 3 lasers to lock to Smash attacks, or you can up air to down air. (But accuracy is needed on the second option.)

    I play Falco & i feel he's a solid mid tier aswell. he has great combos mixups & an up air thats basically a frame trap, also he has one of the best backairs in the game. comes out frame 4, it kills, locks, & combos into itself

    yea and if you do a short hop buffered back air or up air, Falco won't receivel any landing lag at all which is pretty useful

    Up air auto cancels after its use, which gives it almost no landing lag.
