Bio
Captain Falcon, also known as Douglas Jay Falcon, is a character in Nintendo's F-Zero series. He is a mysterious, futuristic racer from the city of Port Town. In later F-Zero games, he is also portrayed as a legendary bounty hunter whose past is shrouded in mystery. In both guises, he consistently thwarts the plans of Black Shadow and other evil forces, both on and off the Grand Prix circuits. Captain Falcon is described as an accomplished F-Zero pilot and renowned bounty hunter who is "rumored to be in his early 30s". In F-Zero X, it is rumored that he is called "Captain" because he was once an officer on the Internova Police Force.

What NeoGAF Says

“Do I really? It's Captain Falcon.” - Aβydoς

“He's essentially the mascot for Smash Bros.” - Neoriceisgood

“Bceause F-ZERO is my favorite Nintendo franchise and the original game for SNES is my favorite game ever.” - Pikma

“I love pretty much everything about him. His design, his personality, his flashy moves. He's also got some killer "assets". :3” - Hours Left

“He defines Smash Bros to me. Of course spawning FALCON PUNCH / KICK too.” - ?oe?oe

“Cool original moveset and mannerisms, Falcon went from a driver to one of the most beloved Smash characters.” - SmithnCo

“FALCON PUNCH.” - Lunar15

“Speed AND Power.” - ShinLuigi

“He's now a smash bros icon. And falcon punch.” - georly

“Speeeeeed and Falcon stuff. I guess I'm not doig a great job of selling these choices, am I? :lol” - emb

“Captain Falcon is fast, brutal, and flashy. He's the perfect character for styling on foes, even if he barely matches his F-Zero incarnation.” - Toxi

“Captain Falcon was always badass, but Smash Bros. made him a legend with the Falcon Punch and Knee of Justice; before, we were just left to assume how he fought, likely with ray guns. But Smash took him to a whole new level!” - Zubz

“SHOW YOUR MOVES! SHOW YOUR MOVES! SHOW YOUR MOVES! SHOW YOUR MOVES! SHOW YOUR MOVES! SHOW YOUR MOVES!” - BGBW

“Because of his justice knee and righteous punch” - Ezalc

“Who doesn't like the Falcon Punch? You dissin' the Captain?” - SenorArdilla

“Falcon has super fun moveset, he's a very satisfying character to play as in all three Smash Bros games. Nothing like a combo closed out with a knee or a FALCON PUNCH.” - chaosblade

“It's goddamn Captain Falcon.” - Shadow Hog

Congrats, Captain Falcon!

It's gonna be hilarious if the demo characters all turn out to be bottom tier.

Engie "Nope"

Whoever made this did a really good job of photoshopping Ridley out of the picture.

 

[superNESjoe]

Engie "Nope"

There we go, I was trying to find the source of that image.

 

[Lunar15]

That's...very true.

Link's gotta be seen destroying people in tournies and shit, get him out there and generate more interest in him. Boost sales of main line Zeldas.

Dat Samurai, he's even a marketing mastermind now. Is there anything he can't do?

People who love Link are going to already be attracted to link. If you really want to go the whole marketing angle, you'd want characters from obscure games to do better so it gives them more exposure. That being said, I have a feeling popularity has nothing to do with how they design movesets.

So, here's how the complete list of how the points were divided Some really surprising placements, particularly the Fox/Falco/Wolf trio (IMO, anyway).

 

[Richie]

The Captain's a true hero for you and me!
with a legendary Punch and a helluva knee!

 

[SoldnerKei]

Captain Falcon

You've chosen wisely, Gaf!

Can we expect a breakdown of the point totals, and the rest of the characters?

Edit:

Grrr, beaten again. Thanks though!

Pichu got more love than metaknight. BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I mean, it was a given Falcon is the favorite lol.

Well fuck, any massive Animal Crossing fan better see this, I bet none of you ever noticed this in the game:

I was grinning ear-to-ear, I frigging love anything AC related.

 

[K-A-Deman]

Another good 8-bit Smash 4 theme https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yo_JAfvv0jI

smooth, I like it

 

[Kouichi]

No Star Fox love, GAF?

 

[The Captain]

Not on the CSS screen they're not.

And that's bad. Dark Pit is an actual clone of Pit in the source material. Alph is an explorer from another planet who utilizes different Pikmin in his source material. Alph should've had a better shot of being separate than Dark Pit, but preferably neither should be separate characters.

 

[The Great Gonzales]

All the people in this thread begging for Mewtwo, and he only gets 10 points.

 

[johnbone]

Wow, mewtwo in 34th place?!

That's a big surprise!

 

[Spinosaurus]

I never liked Yoshi

Now I hate him

 

[RagnarokX]

Toon Link's second to last costume is weird. It's like it's supposed to be the blue mail from ALBW, but his sleeves are green (red mail) instead of yellow. Also his leggings should still be white and his belt should be yellow.

NOOOOOOOO!!!!!! It was one of my main color but I really like new blue bowser tho. I think it's a great replacement tho.

Sheik's a number 3 though.

 

[Aaronrules380]

Capt dominated, though not that surprising. Interesting that everyone in the top 10 had double digit 1st place votes.

 

[LonelyGreyWolf]

Same

Hmm, okay. A little bit disappointed by the costumes. It's really cool that they put in multiple genders on character, made Alph an Olimar costume and whatnot, but some characters definitely got way worse treatment. Little Mac has a few really cool costumes, and some costumes are just horrible like Pac-Man's and Sonic's.

Competitive Smash is about glory, not fun.

Saved Pichu from last place. All hail Pichu, king of the losers.

Guess people don't really want him after all

Good lord, please be real.

I'd imagine it's fake if only because it's the wrong Ridley.

Captain Falcon the god

How the hell did pichu get a first place vote anyways? Pity vote?

Don't worry, no one likes F-Zero games.
