Talk:Captain Falcon

message: F-Zero:  He wasn't the main character more than anyone else; none of the racers had much of a backstory.
F-Zero 2:  AFAIK he wasn't in this at all.  Unless he drove Blue Thunder there?  Unlikely.
F-Zero X:  Again, how is he the main character any more than any of the other 29?
I guess I don't understand the section the way it is worded.  132.162.213.109 15:58, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Appearances in games 

message: Several things.  First, Captain Falcon is definitely a "heavy-weight," being the sixth heaviest character in the game (weigh him against everybody else on the Mushroom Kingdom scales.  He's lighter than Bowser, DK, Samus, Ganondorf and Yoshi, and the same weight as Link), not to mention he falls faster than anybody than Falco, giving him extra resistance to upward-sending attacks.  So he's not a middle-weight, kapiche?
Also: I deleted "well-balanced" for a few reasons.  It's a kind of silly thing to say about a character (considering Nintendo calls practically everyone besides the Ice Climbers and Bowser "balanced").  More importantly, a very fast, heavy, comboing and powerful character that is also highly susceptible to enemy combos, edge-guarding and enemy projectiles isn't a character I'd call "balanced" in the first place.  Actually, there are very few things about Captain Falcon that are average, and he's certainly not universally strong or weak. MaskedSheik 00:20, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Super Smash Bros. Melee 

message: Someone needs to change that picture because that certainly is not Captain Falcon up there.
Yes I agree, they should have a "report" button to report incidents like these. Mista Tee001 21:54, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Picture Change 

message: The fact that this article passed GA is so ridiculous I'm not laughing. It does not, not even by a long shot, meet GA criteria. I removed this immediately because its failure compared to the demands of the GA criteria doesn't justify keeping it a GA to wait for someone to fix this up. For my reasons why I delisted this, see it's sad featured article candidacy at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates —ExplorerCDT 09:25, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Not that it's necessary, but I support this delisting, to show that this editor is not alone.  --PresN 14:59, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Delisted this article from GA status

message: I don't think Captain Falcon is ready to be a Good Article yet. My main concerns were the fact that it is written from an in-universe perspective, which goes against the Wikipedia policy on how to write about fiction. It also violates a few MOS things, such as WP:WTA. – Dok(talk|contribs) 18:38, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Failed GA nomination

message: In mission 2 of the story mode of F-Zero GX, Captain Falcon uses his racer to chase a bounty, according to the mission description of that story mode chapter.  One would assume that the criminals he hunts down will sometimes shoot at him, therefore the Blue Falcon HAS to be well-armored.  Otherwise he couldn't use his racer for bounty hunting!--66.188.230.197 20:04, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well it wasn't well-armored enough to prevent him from landing in the hospital before F-Zero X. Anyway, fan speculation. FMF|contact 20:43, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Blue Falcon

message: In F-Zero GX, Captain Falcon is 37 years old and the champion of the F-Zero Grand Prix. At the beginning of the game, Captain Falcon chases a bounty which turned out to be an ambush by Samurai Goroh and his group of bandits. He then stops by a club to relax, but Silver Neelsen successfully got him to enter and win a "BET" race under the disguise "Famicom". The Federation fails to help stop Black Shadow's rampage and now Captain Falcon must rescue Jody Summer. After escaping Black Shadow's trap, Falcon enters and wins another F-Zero Grand Prix title which resulted in Black Shadow being banished by Deathborn. Issued a challenge by Deathborn, Captain Falcon beats him in the underworld to stop his efforts of combining the light and dark forces condensed in his own F-Zero championship belt and Deathborn's underworld belt to take over the universe then turning it into complete darkness and turmoil. 
I have removed this section from the main page as it is almost impossible to copy edit to a decent standard. Can somebody who knows the game rewrite it and put it back in?  --carelesshx talk 22:52, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  The top picture 

message: In Brawl, changing Cpt. Falcon's colors to match Blood Hawk's (darker purplish colors) also changes the symbol on his back from some sort of falcon-symbol (I can't really describe it) into a skull with wings and the words "Blood Hawk" written underneath. Anyone with Brawl can verify this if they want to. I didn't want to make the change myself, though, because I thought I better put it here first.

thread_title: Blood Hawk symbol in Super Smash Bros. Brawl

message: People keep trying to delete this, so I reverted it to what it was like three years ago when it was a good article, except I added a Brawl reference.  Thoughts? Purplebackpack89 (talk) 15:39, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Anybody can promote an article, so it's worthless to bother reverting back to such a point. It was demoted, so that means that it not actually GA quality. Just please let the article stay dead. I really don't want to have to gather a number consensus just to kill it again. TTN (talk) 15:42, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: There seems to be at least one other editor who agrees with me that this article deserves status.  And it was listed for a whole month, meaning it doesn't deserve to be completely deleted.  Sorry, but the answer is no, I will not let it die.  Purplebackpack89 (talk) 15:46, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The article's formatting is all messed up because it's so ancient, not to mention that just because it was a GA before, doesn't mean it's still GA criteria now. Please read the Wikipedia policy about notable articles on WP:GAMECRUFT.--ZXCVBNM (TALK) 18:28, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I never said it was GA criteria, just being-a-regular-article criteria, which I believe it is.  I would note that the French and the Spanish think so, and plus all the other characters in all three SSBs have their own articles.  I just fixed all the formatting, nixing all the red stuff. Purplebackpack89 (talk) 19:00, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, either way, this discussion currently has six people who believe this should stay merged, so that's about it. You are welcome to create User:Purplebackpack89/Captain Falcon, copy and paste this article there, work on it until you feel that it is ready, and then post a message asking for input.

message: The article says that his full name is Douglas Jay Falcon, but there is no source given for this information. Where did the name Douglas come from? Because I can say with absolute certainty that it is not mentioned in any F-Zero game or accompanying manual.--108.181.107.189 (talk) 19:47, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm wondering this myself actually. After seeing that citation request I started searching around and I haven't found one official source that has mentioned a "Douglas Jay Falcon" anywhere. The name is on the official Smash Bros. Miiverse page, but the text written in those profiles were done by third-parties. Is there any other source people can find? I remember seeing the name in a Melee or Brawl trophy, but I've checked them and they don't mention the name at all. I'm thinking of removing the name altogether. Toasty (talk) 23:49, 2 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Just for what it's worth, the website you linked to with the profile is not an official site. It's a fan site (says so front and center), so anything said there isn't official. This name is pretty commonly disseminated as his name, but it seems to just be fan-canon and not in any official Nintendo media. --128.61.105.76 (talk) 04:05, 3 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Not to be rude but that's exactly what I said, it was a third-party source. Anyway it's shocking for me since I've heard the name for years, but without a proper source there's no way to prove its existence. I'll remove the name now. Toasty (talk) 05:04, 4 August 2014 (UTC)
