==Moveset==
 	Name 	Description
Neutral attack 	N/A 	Performs two knifehanded strikes before spinning his whole body to perform a series of knifehand strikes, with a final downward ax kick that sends the opponent away.
Forward Tilt 	N/A 	A roundhouse kick that can be angled both up and down.
Up Tilt 	N/A 	Swings his wings up in the air, one after the other.
Down Tilt 	N/A 	Crouches on the floor and swipes with his tail feathers.
Dash Attack 	N/A 	A flying kick.
Forward Smash 	N/A 	Uses both wings to perform a wide knifehanded swing in front of himself.
Up Smash 	N/A 	Performs a 540 kick while facing towards/away from the camera (the former if he is facing right).
Down Smash 	N/A 	A split kick.
Neutral Aerial 	N/A 	Spins his entire body clockwise to perform a series of spinning knifehanded strikes.
Forward Aerial 	N/A 	Spins in a drill-like formation, hitting multiple times with his beak.
Back Aerial 	N/A 	Faces backward to perform a kick behind himself.
Up Aerial 	N/A 	A somersault kick from back to the front above himself.
Down Aerial 	N/A 	A downward corkscrew kick that hits once.
Grab 	N/A 	Reaches forward with his right wing. A fast grab.
Pummel 	N/A 	Knees the opponent. Rather slow for a pummel.
Forward Throw 	N/A 	Slams the opponent forward with his right arm.
Back Throw 	N/A 	Throws the opponent behind him before firing a Blaster shot towards them.
Up Throw 	N/A 	Throws the opponent above him before firing a Blaster shot towards them.
Down Throw 	N/A 	Lays the opponent on the ground before firing a point-blank Blaster shot.
Neutral Special	Blaster 	Pulls out his Blaster and fires a slim blue laser projectile. Compared to Fox's Blaster, it fires at a much slower rate but causes hitstun and deals electric damage.
Side Special 	Falco Phantasm	Rears back before launching himself forward in a blue blur of afterimages. The grounded move will stop if Falco reaches a ledge. Compared to Fox Illusion, Falco Phantasm starts up faster and deals less knockback when grounded.
Up Special 	Fire Bird 	Engulfs himself in an aura of flame before launching himself in a fiery tackle. The trajectory of the move can be chosen before Falco launches himself, with up to 16 angles to choose from. After the move ends, Falco becomes helpless. Compared to Fire Fox, Fire Bird travels less distance, deals multiple hits and has almost no KO potential, though it does a high amount of total damage if every hit lands (does a maximum of 33%).
Down Special 	Reflector 	Activates his Reflector and kicks it forward, reflecting any projectiles back towards opponents and doing minimal electric damage to opponents that make contact. It then returns to him as if it was magnetized.
Final Smash 	Team Star Fox 	Upon activation, Falco announces "Showtime!" and targets in front of himself with a green reticle. Three Arwings fly in an unorthodox formation from behind the screen in the area where the reticle is located. Upon hit, both Falco and his victims are sent skywards, and a cinematic begins with Falco and his team flying in a group of Arwings. Falco then announces "Time for a little payback!" (single victim), or "We've got multiple bogeys inbound!" (multiple targets), as all of the members then fire lasers at the trapped opponents, damaging them heavily. Compared to Fox's version, Falco's Arwing flight has a more erratic flight pattern, and the launching hit causes vertical knockback.

Animation 	Description
On-Screen Appearance 	Ejects from an upside-down Arwing.
Taunt 1 	Kicks his reflector around and says "Piece of cake." (楽勝だぜ。, An easy win.) before catching it.
Taunt 2 	Holds out his hand and slowly raises it, saying "Come on!" (かかってきな。, Come bring it.)
Taunt 3 	Spins on one foot, then poses with one of his arms/wings before him, stating "Hands off my prey!" (俺の獲物に手を出すな！, Get your hands off my prey!) while doing so.
Star KO 	
Screen KO 	
Character Selection Screen	
Crowd Chant 	
Victory Pose 1 	Does a flurry of rapid kicks then poses, saying "Had enough already?" (くたばるのはまだ早ぇぜ。, Too early to kick the bucket just yet.).
If Fox was present in the match, there's a chance he will say "You're off your game, Fox!" (腕が落ちたな、フォックス。, Your skills have fallen off, Fox.).
Victory Pose 2 	Jumps high into the air and poses on the ground, scoffing. His ending pose is reminiscent of his artwork in Smash 4.
Victory Pose 3 	Walks up towards the camera, shrugs, and crosses his arms, saying "Sorry! Gotta jet!" (付き合ってらんねぇな。, Not worth associating with.).

Falco's Ultimate style Classic Mode is named, Soar Above the Darkness, and features Aparoid Queen as the Final Boss.

==Fighter Spirits==
Falco's Fighter Spirit can be obtained by completing Classic Mode. It is also available periodically for purchase in the shop for 500 coins. Unlocking Falco in The Galactic Battle allows the player to preview the first spirit below in the Spirit List under the name "???". As a Fighter Spirit, it cannot be used in Spirit Battles and is purely aesthetic. Each Fighter Spirit has an alternate version that replaces them with their artwork in Galactic Battle.
