Captain Falcon He’s making his entrance a little late, but here he is—the famous F-Zero pilot, Captain Falcon!
This time around, he’s bringing his pride and joy, the F-Zero machine called the Blue Falcon, to the brawl. This inclusion ought to boost his macho, tough-guy reputation significantly. Captain Falcon's Special Moves
Standard Special Move Falcon Punch
Side Special Move Raptor Boost
Up Special Move Falcon Dive
Down Special Move Falcon Kick
Final Smash Blue Falcon Tips ] Captain Falcon is all about legs. He used to be the fastest runner in the entire game... Way back when, that is. But there’s no outrunning this guy...
<Standard Special Move: Falcon Punch> This is the Falcon Punch, a move virtually synonymous with Captain Falcon! It looks like Snake’s a big fan as well. This move really works wonders for you in chaotic group matches. Try throwing one out in the fray and your wild punch may just connect with a few opponents. If you tilt the Control Stick in the opposite direction that Captain Falcon’s facing while he’s winding up... He pulls a 180... FALCON PUNCH!! And there you have it, a reverse Falcon Punch. This move packs juuust a touch more power than the standard version. <Down Special Move: Falcon Kick> Perform this move while on solid ground to shoot forward straight as an arrow. In the air, the move changes to a kick that shoots him downward at a sharp angle. This move works best as a surprise attack. Make sure you deploy it in a fashion that keeps your opponent from reading when it’s coming.
<Final Smash: Blue Falcon>
For his Final Smash, Captain Falcon calls in the Blue Falcon! Connect with the Final Smash to pull opponents onto the open raceway of an unknown F-Zero race course. Come on! Blue Falcon! Wham! A tremendous hit!! Falcon’s the only character with a cinematic Final Smash like this.
Mm hmm. That’s one wild move he’s got there. |

Falcon has always been my least favorite Smasher. That said, this update is made of pure win and candy thanks to Sakurai's commentary. I'm surprised he didn't use "Show me your moves!" somewhere! Awesome update. I'm glad for the sake of the Falcon fans he got his update, even if we knew about him.

The picture of R.O.B. is part of the Port Town stage, just as it was in F-Zero GX. I thought it was inadvertent confirmation when I first saw it to. I guess Sakurai might be hinting tho...

Just gotta say that the idea of doing a reverse Falcon Punch sounds awesome. No more rolling behing Falcon to get out of harm's way now!  LOL, roadkill. ;D |

 Falcon's FS really reminds me of Link's/Kirby's back at the E3 '06 trailer though. Makes me wonder if more FS were all 'cinematic' ingame like this one, before being changed. |

A LITTLE LATE! Don't be mad. Sakurai says that heroes always arrive late. Anyway, not much seems to have changed with Falcon. His Final Smash is pretty sweet. |

Forever he will be my hero, now that I not just a dreamer. FINALLY! XD
This is a glorious day of goodness and joy. My favorite character is back, looking better than ever, with new tricks and a cool new final smash. Life is great. ^_^

It just occured to me...*SPOILERS* maybe Falcon's moves are different, like a 180 Falcon Punch, so it's not like Ganondorf. Afterall, other clones have been altered slightly...
Also, it appears TEi's theory is right...
So next is
Lucario (100 Brawls)
ROB
Ganondorf
Mr. Game & Watch
Jigglypuff
Toon Link
Wolf */SPOILERS*

And with this, we finally get to have our PUNCH and drink it, too. ;D Also, huzzah for two character updates in one week; we haven't had that since Pokémon Trainer and Peach!
I like how they tweaked him a little bit. The 180 Falcon Punch sounds like a fascinating concept; I wonder if it can only be executed while in midair, or if you can pull it off once you're on the ground, too.
Why is Sakurai being so mean to Captain Falcon with those Sonic pictures? D:

Why is Sakurai being so mean to Captain Falcon with those Sonic pictures? D: Two things: 1. The 180 degree Punch can be done by Ganon just as well, and can be used on the ground according to vids. Huzzah! 2. His model seems lacking. I don't know what it is, but there's something about how he looks in-game that just doesn't sit well with me. I do appreciate the scarf and the real gun in his holster, though. |

I'm a big fan of the captain but I don't like how he plays in Brawl. It's like he went back to his floaty 64 self plus knee. Knee now is almost useless...
