[edit] Hair Colour Changed

His hair is actually dark brown. Once you beat F-Zero GX and watch the final cut-scenes, in one, he removes his helmet and sets it down. You see him from behind, masking his face but his hair is clearly visible. Lastspartan 13:01, 04 December 2005

Blah, blah, blah. It's been ages since I've last seen that cut scene. Lord Falcon

[edit] Appearances in games

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)

    • That doesn't help much. Do you have any reference that he drove Blue Thunder? He never changes cars in any of the other games. 132.162.213.109 01:19, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Falcon drove the Blue Thunder, not because if that was someone else that piloted it they would still be around and not just in two games. But because if Falcon is not in F-Zero 2, then he's not in the F-Zero X Expansion Kit. I doubt it's a coincedence that the "Blue Thunder" (F-Zero 2) & "Super Falcon" (X: E. Kit) have similair names to the "Blue Falcon". Not to mention these games are similair, since their both add-ons. It seems to me, when there are "expansions" or "add-ons" to a game, Falcon drives a different machine. Lord Falcon 02:04, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Super Smash Bros. Melee

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)

I wouldn't exactly put the Falconner in the same weight class as Bowser or DK. I mean if he is heavy, then should I assume you’re putting Bowser under another weight class? Falcon weights the same as Link, runs faster, but is more aerodynamic. Samus weights 198lbs, 6oz, so around the low 190s should be a good estimate for Falcon. Now is that really heavy? Isn’t Falcon more of a medium-heavy weight, if Bowser is considered “heavy”? Then again, looking at cast that has 2 mice, midget plumbers/doctor, 2 balloons, 2 young boys, etc…

Falcon could be called “heavy”, but where would that leave Bowser?. Lord Falcon 21:14, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Picture Change

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)

There, I think I fixed it.  :) Mista Tee001 21:57, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

I can't leave this article for just one week without someone adding garbage. As for the added SSBM pictures, theres no room for them...or is there.... Lord Falcon 13:46, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Delisted this article from GA status

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)

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)

[edit] Failed GA nomination

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)
