Current Events > Captain Falcon is secret S tier in SSB4

(+) Yeah! (+)

Infinite velocity, ridiculous grab range mixed with a good dash and jab, fantastic set of aerials with a mix of safe but strong hits and attacks that obliterate, Raptor Boost to meme on rollers

Probably not as good as stupid shit like Cloud that the devs just let win for free, but he's a little low on the latest NTSC list or whatever

Who did what in the where now?

Hey TC. Show me your moves.

Come on!

A party game is taken that seriously?

Question: Has One Punch Man topped this in terms if power?

They do have a "for glory" mode Mr Shitposter
---

he's decently high tier
---

he's probably 15-20th

He's extremely exploitable at the top level but he's definitely capable of winning big events
---

Can he still do the thing where he can immediately slide into a grab to throw the opponent downward off the stage at the start of the match or did they break that?

Where is Princess Toadstool

If you get used to the way he grabs, he's extremely high tier. But some of the S-A tiers destroy him off stage. It's like if you get him off stage, he's usually done

I mean he's just straight-up combo food for so many characters at the top. Falcon can do a LOT and rides hard on momentum but:

-He can get destroyed just as easily as he rolls things over. He can get suffocated by projectiles, he's combo food in a game where most top tiers have relentless combo games, he can get pressed hard in disadvantage, etc.

-His recovery is very exploitable and Fatality really walks on a thin line with the best possible recoveries he can pull off, which are impressive, but demonstrate just how far you have to go to squeeze out just a little of Falcon's recovery.

Per results h'es 15-20ish (which is also where Fatality hits on average with player rankings) but a bad bracket can sink Falcon really badly. There are a lot of characters in the 25-15 range that suffer horribly from bracket luck. Peach, Lucario, heavyweights, etc. can all look god-like until they run into a 40-60 matchup (or worse) that ruins their day.

fwiw "S-Tier" is pretty much Bayonetta, Cloud, Diddy, & Sheik. Current 4BR list is outdated but results pretty strongly have coincided with this idea for nearly a year. They are the most common characters, have the best options, and have the best results. None are oppressively good outside of low-tier matchups but all are a slight step up from the rest of the cast.

But I think Falcon is better than Lucario, Villager, Toon Link, Meta Knight and Peach at the very least. Posssibly Mega Man too. There's a lot of artifact tier placement that doesn't account for steep declines. In Lucario's case, he's just too inconsistent (mechanically) to be as high as he is.
