Given that he's a staple of the Smash Bros. series, Captain Falcon's return is entirely predictable. Things have changed since Melee, however. For one, he's now only the second fastest runner in the game (you get one guess as to who holds that honor now), and this time he's arrived with his Blue Falcon in tow, which he whips out for his Final Smash, a maneuver that Sakurai describes as "wild" and "cinematic."
Aside from that, it's business as usual, with the Falcon Punch (which even Snake seems to know about now), Raptor Boost, Falcon Dive, and Falcon Kick all making a return. Oh, and he's yours if you play 70 brawls, beat Classic Brawl Mode on the Normal difficulty setting or greater in less than 12 minutes, or recruit the Captain for your party in The Subspace Emissary.

I can't believe people actually thought he'd get cut. I mean honestly, who are they going to replace him with?
But still, I'm psyched for the Captain. His final smash is amazing from the videos I've seen.

Miss his golden nipples.. Err I mean...
Captain Falcon was entering the stage from earth's orbit. After swigging his jugs of beers and whole hams he played a 12 string two necked guitar to floss his teeth. Still only half way there and being bored from his girly mags he flexed his muscles. Every man in the universe died and every woman climaxed. His flexing caused a truck and explode towards the plumetting Captain Falcon. Falcon Punching the approaching truck Captain landed on the stage in a giant fireball winning the match automatically.
# Captain Falcon once Falcon Punched someone so hard that his fist broke the speed of light, went back in time, and killed Amelia Earhart while she was flying over the Pacific Ocean.
# Contrary to popular belief, Captain Falcon, not the box jellyfish of northern Australia, is the most venomous creature on earth. Within 3 minutes of being bitten, a human being experiences the following symptoms: fever, blurred vision, showing of your moves, tightness of the jeans, and the feeling of being repeatedly kicked through a car windshield.
# Most people have 23 pairs of chromosomes. Captain Falcon has 72... and they're all on fire.
# When Captain Falcon sends in his taxes, he sends blank forms and includes only a picture of himself, crouched and ready to attack. Captain Falcon has not had to pay taxes, ever.
# The quickest way to a man's heart is with Captain Falcon's fist.
# Captain Falcon invented Kentucky Fried Chicken's famous secret recipe, with eleven herbs and spices. But nobody ever mentions the twelfth ingredient: Fear.
# Captain Falcon can win a game of Connect Four in only three moves.

Chuck sees what you did there, and he isn't happy.

Chuck disapproves, but I approve!
And to anyone who says Capt. Falcon sucks, then you FAIL. Honestly, any character besides Jigglypuff pretty much can be deadly if you use them right. And besides, anyone who thought he would get cut for sure was an idiot. I was fearfully speculating his cut-ness in the beginning, but then I realized that they wouldn't do that. FALCON PAUNCH!!!!!!!!

The only time I ever lose with Jigglypuff is against someone who plays Fox. For some reason I can beat on Falcon easily...so, the only enemy a good Jiggle player has is Mr. Saturn.
Damn you Mr. Saturn and your shield breaking ways. Damn. You.
