| '''Falco Lombardi''' is [[Fox McCloud]]'s right hand man, and second in command of Star Fox. He, like Fox, is from the ''Star Fox'' series. He has a very mysterious past, as he prefers not to mention it. What is known is that Falco used to be in a gang, but bailed out to join the Star Fox team. Falco leaves the Star Fox team on occasion. However, he always appears again to help his old buddy out. He is the best pilot on the team and is rivals with Fox because of his flying skills. He has a very laid back attitude and is smart mouthed. Despite this, nothing gets in the way of Falco and Fox's friendship.

| |
| [[Image:Falcomeleeduhjerk.PNG|thumb|left|Falco Lombardi in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''.]]
| |
| Falco is an playable fighter in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. He is, however, unlockable, and is unlocked by beating 100-Man Melee, and then beating Falco. His moves are exactly the same as [[Fox McCloud|Fox's]], except that his [[Blaster (move)|Blaster]] has more of a forceful effect, and isn't rapid fire and his [[Reflector]] attack blasts people upwards instead of sideways. He has the highest initial jump in the game, but the rest of his recovery is poor and is considered one of the worst.
| |
| | |
| Falco also appears in Stage 6 of Adventure Mode. In this, he, [[Slippy Toad|Slippy]] and [[Peppy Hare|Peppy]] will appear in their Arwings in the second half of the battle. They will proceed to shoot the player and Fox. Additionally, if Falco is unlocked, he will sometimes replace Fox in the second battle, forcing Fox into the Arwing.
| |
| | |
| Falco also returns in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', with a different moveset this time around. His [[Super Smash Bros. Special Moves|Special Moves]] have also taken a slight change. To unlock him, the player has to play 50 brawls, complete 100-Man Brawl (much like how the player unlocks him in ''Melee''), or get him to join the player's team in The Subspace Emissary. His voice actors in Super Smash Bros. Melee are ''Hisao Egawa'', during battle, and ''Ben Cullum'' during the Stage 6 cutscene. Ben Cullum also voiced Falco in ''Star Fox Adventures''.

| ===[[Solid Snake]] Codec Conversation===
| |
| *'''Snake''': This is Snake...
| |
| *'''Slippy''': Copy, Snake! This is [[Slippy Toad|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...

| ===Special Moves===
| |
| ====Blaster====
| |
| [[Image:Brawlfalcoblaster.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Falco's '''Blaster'''.]]
| |
| '''Blaster''' is the standard special move used by [[Fox McCloud]], Falco Lombardi and [[Wolf O'Donnell]] in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series. Once used, Fox or Falco will bring out their Blaster, and shoot the opponent. Unlike Fox's Blaster however, Falco's lacks rapid fire. However, it can make opponents flinch during the process. The move returns in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' with the same effects.
| |
| <br clear=all>
| |
| ====Falco Phantasm====
| |
| [[Image:Falco_Phantasm.jpg|thumb|200px|left|The '''Falco Phantasm'''.]]
| |
| '''Falco Phantasm''' is one of Falco's special moves in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. It is executed by tilting the Control Stick to the side, then pressing the B Button. Falco will proceed to race across the screen at light speed, damaging any player that Falco runs into. Although the attack is not that powerful, it is the perfect move for getting through large amounts of enemies. However, using this attack near an edge is dangerous, considering that he will just run off the edge. A similar move is [[Fox McCloud|Fox's]] [[Fox McCloud#Fox Illusion|Fox Illusion]] attack, although Falco Phantasm strikes more quickly, but covers less distance. Very rarely, this move will "misfire" and Falco will move very little when it is used, instead of the normal distance he covers.
| |
| | |
| On a side note, when this move is used in mid-air, it acts as a [[Meteor Smash]] if it hits anyone.
| |
| <br clear=all>
| |
| ====Fire Bird====
| |
| [[Image:Brawl_FireBird.jpg|thumb|200px|right|The '''Fire Bird'''.]]
| |
| [[Image:Falco's_Fire_Bird_Move.jpg|thumb|160px|left|Melee version of the move.]] | |
| '''Fire Bird''' is one of Falco's moves in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. It is basically the same as [[Fox McCloud#Fire Fox|Fire Fox]], except that it is a bit stronger and has less reach. It is used by pressing Up + B. Falco will then hold in one spot, with fire surrounding him, and once charged enough, the player must hold the direction they want Falco to move. He will fly in that direction, until the attack wears out. It can be used as a helpful third jump. In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', the move can deal repeated damage when used.
| |
| <br clear=all>
| |
| ====Reflector====
| |
| [[Image:Falco's_Reflector_Move.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Falco's '''Reflector'''.]]
| |
| '''Reflector''' is a move used by [[Fox McCloud]], Falco Lombardi, and [[Wolf O'Donnell]] in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]]. It is done by pressing down on the Control Stick, and pressing B at the same time. Once done, Fox or Falco will use a deflector shield, which can last for a limited time. It is only useful once the attack starts, and will not do anything if it is kept out too long. Reflector can be used to deflect projectile weapons back at the opponent, or it can be used to hurt the foe head on. In order to do that, the player must be very close to the opponent, and then activate the attack. This will send the foe flying slightly in one direction, but it doesn't have enough power for an instant KO. It is more efficient when Fox or Falco jump over the opponent, and activate it upon landing.
| |
| | |
| In ''Melee'', Falco's Reflector works exactly like Fox's except for that the move sends foes flying upwards when activated near them. In ''Brawl'' however, he'll kick his Reflector at opponents.

| ====Final Smash: Landmaster====
| |
| {{LLquote|It’s so big, it might be hard to turn around. But its law-breaking power and authority is unstoppable.|[[Masahiro Sakurai]]|[http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/fox.html#3rd Smash Bros. DOJO!!]}}
| |
| [[Image:Falco_Landmaster.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Falco's '''Landmaster'''.]]
| |
| '''Landmaster''' is the [[Final Smash]] of [[Fox McCloud]], Falco Lombardi, and [[Wolf O'Donnell]] in the game, ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. Next to the [[Arwing]], the Landmaster Tank is the most powerful weapon the Star Fox team has in the ''Star Fox'' series. When one of them collects the [[Smash Ball]], the Landmaster Tank will appear, and they will hop inside it. Opposing players can jump on top of it, but this can be a bad move, as they can roll them off the tank. The jump button allows the Landmaster Tank to hover, tilting the control stick downwards causes it to roll around once, which can get players off the tank, and damage them severely, and the attack button fires the very powerful cannon, which can cause massive damage to players hit, possibly an instant KO. If a player is standing on the cannon while it is being blasted, the player will be blasted also. The tank is indestructible, but it is very difficult to turn the tank around; the player must flick the controller stick, to turn it, which is actually rather slow.
| |
| | |
| Falco's Landmaster packs less power than Fox's Landmaster, but it can stay airborne for a longer time period. This can be useful when sending foes off-screen for a KO.
| |
| | |
| On a side note, Falco has never used the Landmaster in the ''Star Fox'' series, at least canonically.

| ===Role in the [[Subspace Emissary]]===
| |
| [[Image:Subspace_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 Diddy Kong]]) and almost shoots [[Fox]]. 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 tells him [[Donkey Kong]] has been kidnappd and turned into a trophy. Falco however ignores him, so Diddy Kong grabs Falco and drags him, just how 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]], [[Sheik]], [[Lucario]], and [[Solid Snake]] in defeating [[Duon]]. Once all of the teams unite, they enter [[Subspace (SSB)|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.

| |''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.
