Captain Falcon (キャプテン・ファルコン, Captain Falcon) appears in Super Smash Bros. as one of the four unlockable characters. His appearance is based on his incarnation from F-Zero X for the Nintendo 64. Captain Falcon is currently ranked 3rd overall in the tier list (highest ranked of the unlockable characters) for his insane speed and combo ability. His notorious Falcon Punch is one of the most powerful moves in the game, and is deadly in the hands of a master. However, he is heavy and a fast faller, making him an easy target for combos, and he lacks a quick KO move, as well as a projectile.
