50 days until Smash! - Captain Falcon
DynamicSheep | 3:46 PM on 12.21.2007 7 comments


Since this is a new feature I figured I'd start out with a more conventional character. A character that's bound to be in the final game, but one that's popular anyway.



B: Falcon Punch - Captain Falcon pulls back to charge the punch, then unleashes in a devastating flaming punch that does a maximum of 32%(!) fire damage.
< or > + B: Raptor Boost - A quick flaming uppercut if used on the ground, and an equally quick flaming downward punch if used in the air that does a maximum of 10% damage. The attack will either pop you into the air, or slam you down, depending on where it's used.
^+B: Falcon Dive - Captain Falcon leaps up into the air, attempting to grab an opponent. If the grab connects, Captain Falcon hits rapidly, causing an explosion and a maximum of 7%-12% damage.
v+B: Falcon Kick - Captain Falcon does a flaming, sliding kick in the direction he's facing if this is done on the ground or; he does an downward angled kick in the direction he's facing. This Fiery kick lands for a maximum of 18% damage.
Final Smash: Falcon Inferno - An enormous dome of flames erupts around Captain Falcon doing 10-38% fire damage, depending on how close the character is to Captain Falcon, to anyone it hits. The flames subside to reveal a flaming falcon. The falcon flies around the stage for five seconds doing a maximum of 25% fire damage to anyone it hits.

Doesn't that sound like a devastating Final Smash!?!

Captain Falcon's Stage:

Many people may not realize it, but Captain Falcon actually has two professions. The one he's most famous for is his career on the F-Zero circuit, but when he's not cruising for thrills, he's cruising for thugs as an intergalactic bounty hunter. As such Captain Falcon has to visit some shady places to gather information sometimes. Places like this:



As you can see it's a cantina. This stage is small; it's about the size of the Flat Zone stage (G&W's stage) from Melee. It's a stage with nowhere to run... an up close and personal stage; it's just the kind of stage for Captain Falcon! The lines in neon green represent the platforms in the stage. The actual stage would only be the front of the cantina, with some ledges and the roof to jump up onto. Luckily, there are no pits in this stage. The whole thing is made of solid ground, though it doesn't take much to get launched off of the side or top of the screen since it's so small.

Hazards:
Thugs will sometimes appear from inside the cantina to throw a monkey wrench into the fight. Sometimes they'll come out of the door and shoot at the screen. Quick, smash him before he shoots! Other times, they'll come bursting (thrown) out of the window! Once this thug hits the ground, he'll take off running for the edge of the screen in order to escape a beating.

Captain Falcon is a beloved character from the smash series. Many people love his fast moving, hard hitting style. Other people just love his falcon punch.

It's a good bet that he's going to be in the game, but as I stated in the pre-post teaser this is all speculation. Captain Falcon may fall by the wayside, and his stage and/or moveset may be very different than the one I've suggested. Either way, it's fun just to speculate, isn't it?

Come back tomorrow for more rampant, unfounded speculation as I count down the days until the US release of Super Smash Bros. Brawl!

...ooook

It's speculation on which characters will be in Brawl, along with commentary on how likely the featured character is to show up in the game, how they'd play, and what their stage would be like.

He had better be in there, or heads will roll.

Also, this needs to be his Final Smash.

@Necros:

He was one of my favorite characters in the original, he loves F-Zero, he was in both games...I really don't see how he ISN'T in. I mean they haven't revealed Luigi yet either. Maybe he's making them both unlockable like in the first one.

 about me



Hi! I play video games and don't afraid of anything. Well, I am afraid that I might accidentally a whole Jill sandwich... but the chances of that happening are slim! I don't blog as much as I'd like to.

I've had every system I could get my hands on since I first played Super Mario Brothers on the NES, and currently I have a Wii, Dreamcast, PS3, and 360 hooked up to my TV. My all time top 5 favorite games: Super Smash Bros. Melee, LoZ: A Link to the Past, Super Metroid, Chrono Trigger, Castlevania: SotN.

I don't really have a favorite genre, because I like pretty much all video games. It's easier to just list the genres that I don't like. Simulation sports games (Madden, Tiger Woods, etc.) are no fun at all in my opinion and most FPS games (with few exceptions) bore me.

I wanted to join this community because the front page posts are fantastic, and the cblogs are packed full of win. During my time here, I've met tons of amazing people, and have had an awesome time at the first Mega-NARP in Cincinnati. My favorite thing about Destructoid is the cocks. Long live Destructoid.com!
