Falco (ファルコ, Falco) is a hidden character in Super Smash Bros. Melee. He is considered a clone of Fox, sharing many normal and special attacks, although their playstyles are somewhat different. Falco currently ranks 2nd in the Melee tier list, making him the highest ranked unlockable character, clone character, and newcomer. Much like Fox, Falco has good speed and power to quickly overwhelm his opponents with a variety of approach options. However, he is a lightweight character with high falling speed and low air speed, making him vulnerable to horizontal KOs.

| - Falco spins around at a diagonal angle while stick one foot downward, performing a downwards drill attack. A powerful spike that contains no sourspot, being one of the most feared attack in the game due to setting up combos and edge-guards.

| - Falco fires a laser from his Blaster. Compared to Fox's Blaster, Falco doesn't fire as fast as he does, but each laser can make the opponent flinch, making Falco's Blaster more useful for stopping enemy approaches. Falco fires slightly faster while he is airborne. The lag from using this move can be cancelled quickly by using the short hop laser technique.
