{{quote|Personally, I prefer the air!|Falco Lombardi|Super Smash Bros. Brawl}}
 
'''Falco Lombardi''' is one of the main protagonists of the [[LylatWiki:Star Fox (series)|''Star Fox'' series]], the "ace pilot" of the team [[LylatWiki:Star Fox (team)|Star Fox]] and, due to his flying skills, is the friendly rival of team leader [[Fox McCloud]]. He used to be the head of a gang, but bailed out to join the Star Fox team. Falco leaves the Star Fox team on occasions, and always reappears when needed. He has a very laid back but cocky attitude and is smart mouthed. Despite this, nothing gets in the way of Falco and Fox's friendship.

====''Super Smash Bros. Melee''====
[[File:Falco Melee art.jpg|thumb|left|upright=0.55|Artwork from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'']]
{{main-external|SmashWiki|Falco (SSBM)}}
Falco is a playable fighter in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. He is, however, unlockable, and is unlocked by beating 100-Man Melee or by playing 300 Melee matches, and then beating Falco on [[Battlefield]]. While his voice clips are mostly provided by Hisao Egawa, Ben Cullum voices Falco during the Adventure Mode Stage 6 cutscene or the Corneria Smash Taunt, and would later provide Falco's voice for ''Star Fox Adventures''.
 
Falco's moves are exactly the same as [[Fox McCloud|Fox]]'s, though his special moves have different attributes. Falco's [[#Blaster|Blaster]] has more of a forceful effect but isn't rapid-fire, and his [[#Reflector|Reflector]] attack blasts people upwards instead of sideways. His side special, named [[#Falco Phantasm|Falco Phantasm]], possesses a meteor smash effect when used in midair though it does not travel as far as [[Fox McCloud#Fox Illusion|Fox Illusion]], and his up special, [[#Fire Bird|Fire Bird]], does not have as much reach as Fox's [[Fox McCloud#Fire Fox|Fire Fox]] but can deal more damage. In addition, Falco has more attack power and jumps higher than Fox, while running slower and falling faster. Falco is also heavier than Fox, though is still one of the lighter characters.
 
Falco also appears in Stage 6 of Adventure Mode. In this, he, [[List of Smash Taunt characters#Slippy Toad|Slippy]], and [[List of Smash Taunt characters#Peppy Hare|Peppy]] will appear in their Arwings in the second half of the battle to shoot at both the player and Fox. Additionally, if Falco is unlocked, he will sometimes replace Fox in the second battle, forcing Fox into the Arwing.
 
====''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''====
{{main-external|SmashWiki|Falco (SSBB)}}
[[File:Falco SSBB.png|frame|left]]
Falco returns as an unlockable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. To unlock him, the player must to play 50 Brawl matches, complete 100-Man Brawl, or having him join the party in The Subspace Emissary after clearing [[The Swamp]]; using one of the former two methods the player must then beat him on [[Lylat Cruise]] to unlock him. His design has been changed, appearing more similarly to his appearance in ''[[lylatwiki:Star Fox Command|Star Fox Command]]'' rather than ''Star Fox 64'', and is now voiced by [[Dex Manley]] for the English version.
 
Falco's moveset has been altered for this game, differentiating him further from Fox. He kicks his Reflector forward rather than holding it in place, and his Falco Phantasm travels as far as Fox Illusion. His [[Final Smash]] is the [[#Landmaster|Landmaster]], in which he summons one of the vehicles to drive and attack opponents.
 
Falco also has a Smash Taunt on the [[Lylat Cruise]] stage as well as on the returning [[Corneria]] stage.
 
=====The [[Subspace Emissary]]=====
[[File:SubspaceIntro-Falco.png|thumb|left|Falco's snapshot in The Subspace Emissary]]
In the Subspace Emissary, he appears after [[Bowser]] shoots [[Diddy Kong]] (and uses him and some [[Shadow Bug]]s to create [[False Character|False Diddy Kong]]) and almost shoots [[Fox McCloud]]. Falco comes in with [[Arwing]] and jumps out with his guns to shoot and destroy Bowser's [[Dark Cannon]] (causing Bowser to retreat) and sees False Diddy Kong, Fox revives Diddy Kong and they all fight the evil clone. After defeat, Falco attempts to leave but Diddy Kong tries to tells him [[Donkey Kong]] has been kidnapped and turned into a trophy. Falco however ignores him, so Diddy Kong grabs Falco and drags him, just as he did with Fox when he ignored Diddy Kong. After Falco understands, he jumps inside his [[Arwing]] so they can follow Donkey Kong. Falco drops Diddy Kong off on the plane Donkey Kong is on, and he (with [[Captain Olimar]] and [[Captain Falcon]]) rescues Donkey Kong. Falco flies by in his Arwing giving a thumbs up at Diddy Kong.
 
After this, he wasn't seen again until the battle at the [[Battleship Halberd Bridge]], where he joins Fox, [[Princess Peach]], [[Princess Zelda]], [[Lucario]], and [[Solid Snake]] in defeating [[Duon]]. Once all of the teams unite, they enter [[Subspace (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|Subspace]], where they are defeated by [[Tabuu]], with Falco being among the victims. [[King Dedede]], however, comes to his aid with the help of [[Luigi]] and [[Ness]], who were revived by Dedede's badges and are helping him revive most of the others. The newly revived Falco then heads with the others to stop Tabuu at [[the Great Maze]] once and for all.
 
====''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U''====
[[File:Falco SSB4 Art.png|thumb|Falco's artwork for ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U'']]
{{main-external|SmashWiki|Falco (SSB4)}}
Falco returns as a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', his moveset and appearance being largely unchanged from his ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' incarnation, though he is now voiced in English by Mark Lund, who voiced Falco in ''Star Fox 64'' and ''[[lylatwiki:Star Fox 64 3D|Star Fox 64 3D]]'', and reprised his role in ''Star Fox Zero'' and ''Starlink: Battle for Atlas''. In the Nintendo 3DS version, Falco is unlocked by either completing Classic Mode without the use of continues or by playing 20 matches, then defeating Falco in a 1-stock match on the [[Corneria]] stage. In the Wii U version, he is unlocked by either completing Classic Mode for the first time or by playing 10 matches, then defeating Falco in a 1-stock match on the [[Orbital Gate Assault]] stage.
 
Falco once again has Smash Taunts on the returning Corneria stage in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'', and the returning Lylat Cruise stage in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U''. Falco also appears during the conversations on Orbital Gate Assault.
 
====''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''====
{{main-external|SmashWiki|Falco (SSBU)}}
Falco returns as an unlockable playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', this time more closely resembling his appearance in ''[[lylatwiki:Star Fox Zero|Star Fox Zero]]''. Compared to the previous installment, Falco receives improvements, such as increased mobility, decreased landing lag on his aerial attacks, faster special moves, and greater ability to knock opponents back for many of his attacks. However, Falco's damage output is slightly toned down overall. He has a new Final Smash, involving him leading an "unorthodox formation" of [[Arwing]]s. Mark Lund reprises his role as Falco, though with newly recorded voice clips, such as saying "Come on!" rather than "Get some!" for his side taunt.
 
Several of Falco's attacks have names: down tilt is Tail Cutter; standard aerial is Spinning Falco Chop; and down aerial is Corkscrew Meteor.

====Special moves====
=====Blaster=====
[[File:SSBU Blaster Falco.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Falco's Blaster in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'']]
{{main-external|SmashWiki|Blaster (Falco)}}
The '''Blaster''' is Falco's standard special move, which he shares with [[Fox McCloud|Fox]] and [[Wolf O'Donnell|Wolf]]. When used, Falco fires a laser with a limited range to damage opponents. Falco's Blaster behaves similarly to Fox's original Blaster in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', stunning opponents when hit and having a higher fire rate while in the air, though it cannot be fired as rapidly as Fox's current Blaster. As of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', the lasers from Falco's Blaster also have the longest range out of the three ''Star Fox'' characters, and shots also deal electric damage. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Falco's Blaster has a slightly faster firing rate, while dealing slightly more hitstun.
 
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', the Blaster's first custom variant is the '''Explosive Blaster''', which fires a smaller shot with decreased range that pushes opponents back but explodes after some time, dealing multiple hits. The second is the '''Burst Blaster''', which behaves similarly to Fox's Blaster, being able to fire rapidly but no longer stunning opponents.

=====Falco Phantasm=====
[[File:SSBU Falco Phantasm.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Falco Phantasm in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'']]
{{main-external|SmashWiki|Falco Phantasm}}
'''Falco Phantasm''' is Falco's side special move. Similar to Fox's [[Fox McCloud#Fox Illusion|Fox Illusion]] and Wolf's [[Wolf O'Donnell#Wolf Flash|Wolf Flash]], Falco quickly dashes forward, damaging any nearby opponents. This move deals more damage and knockback than Fox Illusion, and when used in midair, the move [[meteor smash]]es anybody it hits. In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', this move does not have as much distance as Fox Illusion, while in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', it travels the same distance. Like Fox Illusion and Wolf Flash, Falco can stop the move by pressing the special attack button again, though this is removed in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' /'' Wii U'', in which the move is instead automatically stopped when Falco reaches a ledge.
 
In ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' and ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', Falco Phantasm's first custom variant is '''Falco Phase''', which makes Falco invincible for the duration of the move, although the move itself does not inflict damage on opponents. The second variant is '''Falco Charge''', which deals increased damage and knockback at the beginning of the move, but does not travel as far.

=====Fire Bird=====
{{redirect|Fire Bird|the enemy from [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]|[[Firebird]]}}
[[File:Falco Fire Bird Wii U.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Fire Bird in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'']]
{{main-external|SmashWiki|Fire Bird}}
'''Fire Bird''' is Falco's up special move. Upon executing it, Falco charges up the move, surrounding himself in fire that damages nearby opponents before launching himself in the direction the player is holding the control stick. Compared to Fox's [[Fox McCloud#Fire Fox|Fire Fox]] and Wolf's [[Wolf O'Donnell#Fire Wolf|Fire Wolf]], Fire Bird hits several times while Falco is moving before dealing a more powerful hit with greater knockback at the end. However, Falco does not fly as far as Fox or Wolf using their up special moves, traveling the shortest distance of the three. Like Fire Fox, hitting a surface while using Fire Bird causes Falco to bounce off of it, ending the move.
 
In ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' and ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', Fire Bird's first custom variant is '''Fast Fire Bird''', which does not have a charging period, but also does not travel as far and deals less damage, only hitting one time. Its second variant, '''Distant Fire Bird''', takes longer to charge up and moves more slowly but is more powerful and travels farther; the charging also does not deal damage and the final hit is removed, instead dealing a more powerful hit when Falco begins moving.

=====Reflector=====
[[File:Falco Reflector Wii U.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Falco's Reflector in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'']]
{{main-external|SmashWiki|Reflector (Falco)}}
The '''Reflector''' is Falco's down special move, shared with Fox and Wolf. Like Fox's Reflector, when used in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', an energy barrier surrounds Falco, reflecting any projectiles that collide with it and increasing the amount of damage they deal when they hit. The barrier itself can also damage nearby opponents (although Falco's knocks opponents back at an angle), though it can shatter if hit enough times, leaving Falco dazed as if his [[Shield (Super Smash Bros. series)|shield]] broke. In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' onward, Falco instead kicks his Reflector at opponents instead of holding it in place; while it still deflects projectiles and damages opponents, it no longer protects Falco from physical attacks.
 
In ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' and ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', the first custom variant for Falco's Reflector is the '''Accele-Reflector''', which only reflects while it is moving forward and moves faster than normal but increases the speed of reflected projectiles. The second is '''Reflector Void''', which destroys projectiles but deals greater damage on its own.

{{main-external|SmashWiki|Landmaster}}
{{quote2|Personally, I prefer the air!|Falco Lombardi|Super Smash Bros. Brawl}}
The '''[[lylatwiki:Landmaster|Landmaster]]''' is Falco's [[Final Smash]] in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' and ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U'', shared with Fox and Wolf. It is a powerful tank vehicle introduced in [[lylatwiki:Star Fox 64|''Star Fox 64'' / ''Lylat Wars'']], used by the [[lylatwiki:Star Fox (team)|Star Fox team]] in ground missions, although its design is specifically based on its appearances in both ''Star Fox 64'' and ''[[lylatwiki:Star Fox: Assault|Star Fox: Assault]]''. Upon activating the move, Falco leaps into the air and falls back down inside the Landmaster. It functions and controls the same as Fox's [[Fox McCloud#Landmaster|Landmaster]]; compared to it, however, Falco's Landmaster has weaker shots and battering damage, but a stronger [[lylatwiki:Barrel roll|barrel roll]] with less knockback, and the cannon shots deal more damage when opponents are standing on it. It also flies faster than Fox's, though it is the slowest on the ground.

Falco appears as a [[Costume Mario#93|Costume]] in ''Super Mario Maker''. Falco's costume can be unlocked by scanning his respective [[amiibo]] or randomly by completing the 100 Mario Challenge on expert difficulty. His sound clip from the original ''SNES Star Fox'' game is used when the player uses the Falco costume.

|''A Star Fox team pilot, Falco's constant air of casual indifference belies his precise piloting skills. He avoids discussion of what he did before joining the team, but many consider it likely that his past was filled with reckless behavior. He's not much for cooperation, but he does respect those more skilled than he is.''

Unlike Fox Falco can stop enemies in their tracks with his Blaster fire.''

|''Falco's amazing jumping abilities have many merits, but it's vital to realize that it comes at the cost of some attack power and defensive strength. He falls at a high speed, which disrupts potential attackers, but this also prevents successful recoveries occasionally. Hit an opponent with Reflector, and he or she will fly straight up; this is Falco's quickest attack.''

====Snake's Codec====
Note: this is the only codec conversation where Snake is given information from someone other than his team members, due to Falco's own teammate, [[Slippy Toad]], hacking the channel (which does not occur for Fox's codec conversation).

*'''[[Radio conversation characters#Slippy Toad|Slippy]]''': Copy, Snake! This is Slippy!
*'''Snake''': Whaa--! Who is this? What are you, some kind of frog?!
*'''Slippy''': Easy there, buddy! Just thought I'd hop on the wireless and give you a holler. Don't get mad!
*'''Snake''': Hacked right into my channel, huh...
*'''Slippy''': But I'm not here to mess nothin' up. Don't worry.
*'''Snake''': ...
*'''Slippy''': Just so ya know, Falco uses a Blaster and Reflector that I designed, just like Fox does. But Falco will kick his Reflector and send it flyin' around. Just showin' off, if you ask me.
*'''Snake''': No reason a weapon can't have more than one use. In fact, I'd say its versatility shows how well you designed it.
*'''Slippy''': Hey, maybe so! I feel all fuzzy now! Thanks, Snake!
*'''Snake''': Maybe next time we meet, you can design me a weapon...

|''Falco's Blaster looks identical to Fox's at first glance, but they are actually quite different.

|''Falco, the ace pilot on the Star Fox team, and Fox set out to deal with Oikonny's rebel army. However, they were shocked by something completely unexpected! Was it Oikonny's amazing, unmatched fighting prowess? Pfft! As if! They were surprised by a sudden attack by hive-minded alien invaders!''
|''Star Fox's ace pilot. He and Fox go to deal with Oikonny's rebel army, only to see something incredibly unexpected - the battle between the Cornerian forces and the rebel army gets interrupted. Good news, right? Nope! It's interrupted by a surprise invasion of countless life forms operating with a single consciousness. Yikes!''

====Palutena's Guidance====
*'''[[Palutena]]''': Do you know who this is, Pit?
*'''[[Pit (character)|Pit]]''': Falco Lombardi! Ace pilot on the Star Fox team! Great Jumper!
*'''Palutena''': ...Exactly. Captain Falcon's already got the falcon motif. Falco looks more like a pheasant to me.
*'''Pit''': Mmm, sounds delicious.
*'''Viridi''': If I were you, I'd keep your voice down. If he hears you, he'll make you eat his boots.
*'''Palutena''': Falco used to be the leader of a galactic gang, so you can expect him to be good in a fight.
*'''Pit''': I'm starting to freak out here. I mean, this guy is famous throughout the entire galaxy!
*'''Palutena''': Watch out for long-range attacks like his Reflector shot and Blaster.
*'''Viridi''': You'll see he's quick on the draw.
 
===amiibo===
*''A talented pilot and part of the Star Fox team, Falco can be a bit rough around the edges. He once led his own galactic gang before joining up with Fox. He affects an air of cool disdain and is sometimes uncooperative, but in reality his passion for Star Fox is second to none.''
 
===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' Super Smash Blog bio===
"''He's a talented aerial fighter with amazing jumping ability, but Falco is a bit slower on the ground. His final smash is an all-out attack using an unorthodox formation of Arwings!''"
