Captain Falcon (SSS)

:This article is strictly about how Captain Falcon appears in Super Smash Stadium. For information about him in general, see his article on Fandom's F-Zero Wiki.
Captain Falcon is a playable character on Super Smash Stadium. He debuted late in Season 11, alongside Port Town Aero Dive.
==In his own universe==
Douglas J. Falcon is a former law enforcement officer who turned into a vigilante bounty hunter after he felt that he'd retired before he was truly ready to go.
Because his home series is a racing-oriented franchise, the vast majority of his character in SSS was custom-made. He has evolved such that he is now more well-known for his Smash Bros. exploits than he is for his F-Zero ones, possibly partially owing to how rarely Nintendo makes F-Zero games and how hard these games languish in obscurity. The inclusion of Mute City and Big Blue in Mario Kart 8/Deluxe may have given the franchise a boost, but Falcon himself is absent from both games.
==Attributes==
The fastest character in the game (or second fastest, after Sonic) and one of the strongest, Captain Falcon is one of the game's premier threats. He essentially has three recoveries in his side, up, and down specials, and his Smash attacks are killers. He also has an insane forward aerial move, the Knee Smash (AKA the "Knee of Justice" or simply "Falcon Knee"); only Zelda's is stronger. However, his recovery is predictable, and his lack of projectiles doesn't help much, either.
===Changes===
*Season 36: His best moves were either made weaker or harder to sweetspot.
*Season 39: Changes to hitstun physics caused him to gain back some of his former combo power.
*Season 47: Power boost.
===Moveset===
Entrance: Rides in on the Blue Falcon, then hops out.
Move Name	Description
Forward Air:
Knee of Justice	Falcon knees the opponent. If sweetspotted, it will electrify them and do insane damage and knockback. Else, it's pretty weak.
Kills at 70% sweetspotted; can't kill otherwise.
Neutral Special:
Falcon Punch	Falcon hits the opponent with a fiery punch; the flame takes the shape of a falcon when finished and even makes a falcon noise. He also yells out "Falcon...PAWNCH!!!" as he charges the move. However, it's very slow and predictable. Since Season 36, it's been possible to do a "reverse Falcon Punch" if you tilt in the opposite direction of where you're standing quickly enough; while this move is more powerful, it's even slower.
Kills at 55%.
Side Special:
Raptor Boost	Falcon rushes horizontally, uppercutting anyone in his way. If used in the air, anyone hit gets Meteor Smashed.
Kills at 170%.
Up Special:
Falcon Dive	Falcon jumps up. Should he hit anyone, he'll grab them, say "YES!!!" as he appears to blow them away with his crotch, and will be able to use the move again.
Kills at 140%.
Down Special:
Falcon Kick	Falcon kicks downward, yelling out "FALCON KICK!" as he does so. Bounces off anyone he hits.
Kills at 120%.
Final Smash:
Blue Falcon	Falcon summons his car, the Blue Falcon. Anyone he hits gets sent to an F-Zero track, where he promptly runs them over, instantly killing them unless they're at 0% (or just really lucky).
Ashley Variant: Ashley screams "Click THIS or ticket, motherfucker!!!" as she speeds across the track.
===Taunts===
*Up Taunt: Lights on fire and flexes.
*Side Taunt: Makes a beckoning motion and shouts "COME ON!"
*Down Taunt: Salutes, and says "Show me your moves!"
===Victory===
*Pose: Spins, then tenses up in a defensive pose.
*Theme: Team F-Zero's victory theme.
*"No Contest"/Loss Theme: Team F-Zero's loss theme.
