Falco (SSS)

:This article is strictly about how Falco appears in Super Smash Stadium. For information about him in general, see his article on Fandom's Star Fox wiki.
Falco Lombardi, one of the most obvious assholes ever...
...is, regrettably, a playable character on Super Smash Stadium despite this. He debuted very late in Season 8, alongside Lylat Cruise.
==In his own universe==
Falco is part of Team Star Fox, and is billed as the best pilot on the team. However, his standoffish, headstrong behavior and will to want to do things his way or on his own makes him difficult to work with sometimes. In Star Fox Assault, his behavior reached such a fever pitch that actually quit the team, and he often claims that he's only in Star Fox for the money; however, every now and then, he drops some hints that he does genuinely care about his teammates. He was in (and sometimes led) multiple gangs before joining Star Fox.
==Attributes==
Debuting as a near-exact clone of Fox, Falco was initially seen as the second-best character in the entire game, right behind his vulpine leader, especially during the Mêlée Era (Seasons 15 to 35). He is slightly heavier than Fox, though still considered a lightweight. Falco jumps much higher than Fox, but is slightly slower. Also, because personally, he prefers the air, Falco's air game is better than Fox's, but his ground/neutral game is worse.
Falco is still seen as a top-tier threat today (and a decent-enough second for those who can't play as Fox), except for a lull between Seasons 39 and 47, where he was instead seen as one of the worst characters in the game.
===Changes===
...Yes.
===Moveset===
Entrance: Flies in on an Arwing.
Move Name	Description
Neutral Special:
Blaster	Falco fires lasers from his blaster. Unlike Fox's (at least since Season 15), these lasers actually do inflict knockback. To compensate, they aren't as spammable.
Cannot kill.
Side Special:
Illusion	Falco rushes sideways with help from a holographic version of himself. Almost exactly the same as Fox's version of the move aside from the fact that it Meteor Smashes when timed right.
Kills at 310% normally, 31% off a Meteor Smash.
Up Special:
Firebird	Falco lights himself on fire, then, a second later, launches himself in the direction that you press in. Anyone hit takes stronger damage and knockback than Fox's Firefox, but the move doesn't travel as far.
Kills at 110%.
Down Special:
Reflector
AKA "Shine"	Falco kicks out a hexagonal light shield in front of him, which travels about a step away before returning to him. Any items that hit the shield get bounced back for 1.5× more damage. Any Pokémon that hit the reflector become his. (Also programmed to work with Assist Trophies, though how exactly they'd hit the Shine is unclear.) Any opponent in the Shine's path is hit for light damage and knockback.
Before Season 36, the Shine worked exactly like Fox's.
Kills at 330%.
Final Smash:
Landmaster	Falco shouts "Personally, I prefer the air!" before dropping a huge tank onto the stage. Use left and right to steer, down to...
...and the jump buttons ( up//) to make it fly. Compared to Fox's incarnation of the move (which he gave up in Season 47), you have unlimited flight time in exchange for poorer ground mobility. Anyone hit by the Landmaster suffers 10% with little knockback, while anyone hit by a barrel roll suffers 25% with moderate knockback. Anyone standing on top of the Landmaster can die if you fly high enough, as the Landmaster can reach the upper kill zone easily.
Finally, you can use or to fire a laser, which does up to 30%, but little knockback; however, the laser is spammable. The move ultimately lasts 15 seconds.
Ashley Variant: Ashley says "It's morphin' time! Megazord, GO!!!"
Kills at 0% with the "cheap death" option (give or take how much "poison" damage opponents sustain offscreen), while the lasers kill at 60%, and the barrel roll kills at 75%. Running people over kills at 175%.
===Taunts===
*Up Taunt: Says "Piece o' cake!" as he kicks his Shine around.

*Down Taunt: Spins once while saying "Hands off my !"
