You'll want to be on the lookout for hammers.

Deadly.
Anyway, when's Falcon's UpB grab hitbox getting smaller? It is super big. Also, when you SideB onstage offstage, its gg.

Raptor Boost doesn't SD from onstage if you hold in. Maybe I misunderstand you?

Why would you make upb smaller? Falcon is already getting upb landing lag and probably aerial downb lag in the air. Seems like an undeserved nerf

I'm a firm believer that hitboxes shouldn't be ridiculously different than their animations, and Falcon's up-B is a prime example. The grab hitbox really has no relation to his body, and so it's much harder to deal with than it should be because you can't really "intuit" what hitboxes will come out on top against it and end up having to memorize this aerial, that special, this smash attack, etc. I'd support a bigger jump from a successful hit, but Falcon already has the best recovery of any of his prior Smash implementations to date.

Aerial Falcon Kick should, in my opinion, see a travel distance increase. Perhaps not to Melee levels, but Falcon could stand to be a tad less versatile off-stage for how good he is on-stage.

A hitbox size decrease with a more rewarding jump would be a good change as well. It would prevent folks from gimping Falcon by getting hit with Up B, which is kind of silly.

THE TRUE FALCON COMBO (I would taunt but I didn't have time)

It seems Cfalc was nerfed hard in this update. Lol the funny thing is when I was reading the nerfs I thought to my self, "Wow the previous version had the perfect Cfalc and now he lost it all". Cfalc relies on grab combos and quick aggressive aerials but this was all replaced with more knockback on already powerful moves which will only encourage spamming f smash and such. Sorry to say but Cfalc is without a doubt a bottom tier character if not the very bottom regardless of what the current tier list shows which is very inaccurate as it seems only to be based on players performance and other randomness which is pretty disappointing. I think you guys should revive old Cfalc a bit, at least some of his main combos and such.

I'm triggered if you're saying that Falcon is the worst character of 9.b. But if you meant beta, we can't be sure that Falcon has been butchered so much that now he's the worst. I'm sure the devs found a balance or something.

I'm sorry, but you opinions are terrible and they don't really make sense at all.

Again, you want better combos on Captain Falcon? (Not saying he doesn't need more)

XD no I love Cfalc and my suggestion was a bit over the top I suppose but I'm basing this off of the smash 4 Cfalc which I feel was the Cfacl in the previous version but that was changed here. Now not saying he doesn't have anything some Cfalc players prove worthy oppenents I don't doubt it but I think there is more to work with when looking at a smash 4 Cfalc as the goal of what Cfalc should be.

What do you guys think would be good buffs? I think having utilt spike would be fun, and I'd like to see the gentleman become a better tool to help offset his nerfs.

Enabling wall jumping

More freeze-frames on successful falcon punches and sweet spotted knees. Much needed buff.

Seriously though, utilt (heel) spiking is a good idea, and would match the animation.

Was messing about with Falcon yesterday to see if he could be a potential pocket of mine. Peach CPU bodied my first two stocks. Whats the MU like?
