- In Smash Bros., Falco is often criticized for being too similar to Fox, even though he's had several changes since his introduction in Melee.
So, just how different are they now?
Let's find out!

For their neutral special they wield a gun.

"falco's uptilt can also be used for some combos!"
oh you sweet innocent child
Up tilt IS the combo.
I feel like Alex is the most competitive casual.
All you need to do to win tournaments is pick Falco and spam up till
Up Tilt isn’t used for some combos… *IT’S* THE COMBO! If you see a blue bird with a uniform about to do it… you’re basically 100% dead.
Fox is tidy and professional while Falco is more relaxed and carefree and their moves reflect their personality.
The main difference is that Fox's bones aren't hollow.
Yeah I know it's kind of weird honestly.
How the hell is a bird lighter than a Fox, let alone most of the mammals on the roster.
Also his up-B also SUCKS as a recovery, he really should have gone into how much worse it is than Fox's, despite being a species of bird that can definitely fly if only breifly.
@@Cri_Jackal Birds are supposed to be light and Falco is literally the highest jumper in the game.

Meanwhile.......
Yoshi: *Laughs in flutter jump*
The worst part is Falco is canonically 169 pounds,,,
You forgot to add how Fox can use his reflector for an infinite amount of time, while Falco is limited to the animation's time to play out.
But to make up the limited amount of time with Falco's reflector, you can combo with it.
Also, while Fox’s reflector protects him everywhere, while Falco’s attack is only in front of him, meaning he can’t protect himself from projectiles behind him.
@@Superemie401Fox uses the Reflector the way it's supposed to be used, and covers him from every side, while Falco tries to be "cool", by kicking it towards the opponents, so it's more like a boomerang, that has reflective properties, but Falco can cover himself from all sides with his down Smash attack, by doing the splits, and dodging. Also, his side b and neutral b are better than Fox's, but Fox's blaster racks up more damage, but is slower, while Falco's is faster, does less damage, but makes the enemy flinch, also the name of his side b is better too. "Falco Phantasm" sounds cooler than "Fox Illusion". I just wanted to throw that in there. Oh, and in case nobody told you, "hands off my prey!"
At least Falco in Smash has had a better fate than Ganondorf in Smash...
Fun fact, Sakurai mains Ganondorf and there's videos of him playing as him in Melee and Brawl. It's probably why Ganondorf is still so similar to Falcon.
@@MilesAway To be honest, Ganon's moveset fits him very well.
RaidikTheHedgehog say that to melee ganondorf XD
Liar
Ganon is a lot more original now
Falco has been my main for as long as I can remember.
I actually get a lot of crap from friends for only playing as Falco and they say I’m basically only sticking to one character and it’s not fun that way...idk I just love playing as him
Same
They don't get it man...
being mad at someone having a main in smash is kinda dumb
they just dont understand the fun of falco
Honestly I kinda like where Fox and Falco are at now. They´re both from Team Star Fox so it makes sense for them to fight similarly, but Falco still got his own flavor over the years which makes him fight pretty much how I´d personally envision him fighting.
One is professional and tidy while the other is flashy and carefree. 😎🦅
I agree with you. If Slippy or Peppy was Fox’s clone instead of Falco, it’s very likely it would be logic that they fight similar to him. They, alongside Falco, are Fox’s teammates, after all.
Oh my god, the first hit of Fox's up air is with his tail. What the fuck that's adorable.
Resume of the entire video:
“The same but different”
Fox is a rushdown character that relies on speed, pressure and mixups to get damage and bait bad decisions
Falco is more combo oriented having more true combos but having a much harder time getting due to his slower speed
In neutral Fox relies on nair, dash dancing fast falling and mix ups
Falco uses more lasers to force approaches and fishes for combo starter, up tilt falling nair or up air, down tilt and grab
Fox gets very little from grabs outside of a bit of damage and stage positioning and has no kill throws
Falco has grab combos from 0 until kill percent and sometime back throw at ledge can kind of kill
Fox uses his speed to land raw hits or uses nair to up smash and dair to up smash
Falco kill confirms from dair, uptilt and sometimes down tilt as a raw kill move, he also tend to try to edge guard with his long lasting hitboxes.
Fox’s recovery has more startup on both of his recovery moves side b and up b and he falls very fast therefore relies on them a lot to get back to stage making him easy to edge guard. He also uses down b to mix up his timing.
Falco is floatier and can use his high jump height to mix up his recovery. His up b and side b while having shorter range are faster on startup making it harder to react to.
Fox tends to do better competitively thanks to his speed and mix ups and has top level representation in the form of Light
Falco has a much harder time comparatively but he can snow ball just as well or even better when he finds his combo starters
What's the difference between you and me.
Hmmm...
well, first off, you're a Knight Warrior. And I'm neither of those!
@@AlexEXE hmm good point. You win.
I can’t differentiate how to side tilt and side smash so that’s a big difference but not sure with you
To side tilt you should light press the joystick and to side smash you should put more pressure on the joystick.
Knight Warrior that’s so precious
I feel like this could have been an analysis of all 3 spacies
Really shows how unique Wolf is
@@mf6610 True actually.
Difference between Fox and Falcon: When Fox hits Wolf it will saying something different, for Falco he says something else if he hits multiple opponents
Another difference in their illusions is that, in the air, Fox stops in place before the move happens, while Falco keeps his momentum.
Falco’s move is called phantasm
*Hands off my bread*
Piece of cake. 😎🍰
*Chaos control* no wait
Verdict:
That neutral B is enough to keep them from being "too similar", since Fox can rack up damage whereas Flaco can mess up someone's recovery.
Whats the difference between Falco and fox?
Me: yes
The difference between Fox and Falco's down b is:
Fox down b is a Meme!
I think you meant down smash
@@autobitch7993 nah, Fox’s Down-B in Melee, otherwise known as the Shine
B L E P
Watched a around half of the vid and I see a pattern
No walf
Next I'd imagine is Isabelle and Villager, I feel like they're the only similar while not echo characters left
Mario and Luigi/Dr. Mario?
@@milowood1728 Mario and Luigi are nothing alike, just like fox and falco
What about why is Roy and Chrom an echo fighter?
Sealing Then dr. Mario
@@milowood1728 he already did Dr mario
Yooo super Nice video bro it really helped ❤
Next Ken and Ryu, they are a bit different
I really think he should
Side Special is one example.
Key difference: you need to have a game plan when playing as Falco. Fox can just push any buttons he wants and get away with it.
Fox is a fox
Falco is a falcon
Edit:
Falco is a blue pheasant
Wolf is a wolf.
Man, this is easy!
nice photo ya got from pokemon masters
@@AlexEXE falco is actually a pheasant. You technically failed.
no he’s a falco
Mograine
Falcon the falco
I feel kind of bad, you had to say, “their basically the same move but slightly different” so much.
the thing is that they are not. The reason most of their moves are similar is more of a canon reason. All three spacies have similar kits. Also, has a much different playstyle than Fox, I should know, I main Falco and Fox plays different.
@@birdbrain1860 bro nice pfp 😔👌
0:37
Of course
''Personally, I prefer the air"
Hey hey! He said it!
Fox: That ain't Falco
Falco: That is Falco
Alex is so underrated
I think if Falco's special attacks were changed now, there would be a riot.
3:03 did that CPU just B reverse
yes
I already saw a Kirby CPU dash dance too
🤣🤣🤣
You forgot to mention how Falco's gun stunns the opponent briefly while Fox's dosen't
Bruh 5:13
I could've used this video like 6 months ago but I appreciate the effort
Fox is a Top-Tier(I’m not quite sure) while Falco is a Mid-Tier. Fox is faster than Falco on ground but he also falls faster than Falco does. It’s really no surprise that Falco has a higher jump the Fox does and especially because “Personally I prefer the air”. Coincidence? I THINK NOT!
And Falco is also a bird. 🦅
Remember when he said that he personally prefers the air? He wasn’t wrong. He even said it in Star Fox Zero!
"What's the difference between Fox and Falco?"
Me: *oNe's a biRd, onE'S A fOx*
I prefer Falco! His combos are really fun and his mobility isn't as complex as Fox's 😀
He's also the cool guy in the Star Fox team! 😎🦅
@@anibalhyrulesantihero7021 Exactly! #FalcoGang 😎🦅
@@gamersdecision8687 If Slippy were to be in Smash, his personality would be similar to Luigi as he's somewhat of a goofball. 😂👉🏻🐸

Fox:hurts
Falco:KILLS
Next Video: What’s The Differentes between Link and Young Link
good idea, he only compared to young link and toon link
Why do you think link is top 3? Just wondering
But where is the Problem? It’s just my opinion. Pls DM me On Discord
Link vs. Young Link and Link vs. Toon Link
Thanks for making this. I always wondered if they were different
One's furrier than the other.
The insanity of quarentine finally affecting me XD
One's furry and the other is feathery.
4:30 "technically it's not a meteor smash but a spike because it's outside the meteor smash range" -some guy on reddit
FIYAH!
Nice content bro
Wolf could've been in the video too. He's VERY similar. Maybe in a seperate video?
Are you ok? Wolf is very much different from Fox almost to the point where they’re unrecognisable from each other. I’d argue even Mario and Luigi are more similar the Fox and Wolf
@@toluolomolaiye6433 Just like Villager and Isabelle? There's a video on those two as well. Are you ok?
0:09 one is a bird and one is a fox
Best channel ever
Falco definitely, i really like playing as him
He’s my favorite of the two as well!
Good Vid Dude ! Keep Up The Good Work!
The difference is that one needs to better their luck next time, while the other one is off their game!
Nice reference to their secret voice lines against each other. 💛💙
As far as similarities go, I personally chalk it up to them studying the same Martial Art style at the academy
Some other things i'd add on, note I don't really play either character, but oh well.
Dtilt
- fox's combos
datk
- fox's combos and is like 4 frames faster
Nair
- falco's seems to have more trouble with hitting especially oos from my testing
fair
- I know that fox can do drags down can't remember if falco can.
Reflector
- Pretty sure falco's increases the speed of the projectile making reflector wars less common.
- also falco's is unsafe on hit much of the time.
- Might as well add that falco's is frame 1 reflector making it the fastest reflector
Throws
- Falco has actual combo throws with u/dthrow (not sure if throw can be di'ed), but u can do dthrow run fair, and u-throw anything.
- Falco's typically never get to kill from a throw since the 2nd shot can be easily di'ed or just miss. I personally have never died to one and I just di inwards/ to the side.
Gameplay
- Fox has a much better neutral with many attacks safe on shield, increased speed, fake outs etc.
- Falco's strength is his punish game, resulting mainly from the usage of u-tilt and many atks that kinda combo into it (n-air, falling u-air).
- Falco seeks to keep opponents in the air his best in the game DJ, good fh and amazing airs.
- falco can edgeguard better with having a slower fall speed, actual spike, sideb that spikes., drag down nair and higher fh so he won't have to reply on their terrible upb.
-
Both F-Air can drag down opponents. Falco is technically better because of having less landing lag BUT the landing hitbox makes it unreliable at higher percentages if you mess up, which is easier with that lower falling speed. He also has less set knockback on his F-Air multihit, so he cannot much out of it; altough a D-Smash confirm at high percents is something nice to have.
Falco's reflector can also combo .
The next vídeo Will be the diference between joker and raviolis
God I love this serie of videos ! For the next one, can we have the difference between Elite Smash and hell ?
I Love this series! Keep it up!
dang, poor mario
literally everything
What’s the difference between Kirby and Jigglypuff? I mean they’re both pink balls, soo...
The better question is what do they have in common
@@jojo6783f uuh down air have similar animation, same with f smash and uh
Easy, they both use ships in different formations.
And one is the leader, the other is the second in command.
great video
Okay, Fox and Falco clearly have big differences. I could say the same for Wolf but, his moves are even more different.
Fox and Falco have similar moves but with different properties.
One thing for up b: Fox's up b is much better for stage spiking since it isn't a multi hit
I love playing both these characters, but I am sad too that Falco (and Wolf) are kinda just spin-offs of Fox, but, with Falco and Wolf say being 70% unique, I'm fine with it
For the last time
*Its GIMP, not GANK*
i believe falco's side special also doesnt have nearly as much start lag
also down taunt into down smash
In terms of gameplay comparisons. Fox is pretty much better in most match-ups being an extremely fast rush-down character. The biggest fatal flaw with Fox is the fact that he's the fastest falling character in the game. Even top players SD with Fox from time to time. Falco feels a lot safer to move around with but being balanced makes him worse in a lot of match-ups.
The difference.
Fox: has the fastest fall speed.
Falco: Hands off my c*ck
Yeah, their moveset may be kinda similar, but Falco has something that Fox lacks ... a taunt that tilts opponents: down taunt + down smash xD
Hands off my *C O C K*
How to say "hands off my *C O C K* "
As falco Down tanut: hands off my pray
Interrupted by down smash: " *C O C K* "
To get: "Hands off my *C O C K* "
Piece of cake. Come on. 😏🦅
I get it… 😹😹😹😹😹 😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹
Yo Alex I think a cool thing you could do after comparing two moves together is to shield afterwards, just so show how much time before you can input another move
Awesome video to highlight the differences. The only major thing I noticed missing is that Fox's Reflector can be held infinitely, so timing against certain attacks is way easier to connect (i.e. Byleth's neutral special).
Tru
Fox's reflector can linger while Falco's has range and can be used in combos.
fox and falco have a few more similarities than i thought they would woah
For 6:47 it was way more useful in super smash bro’s brawl cause you could spam it in the air and fox would barely fall, it was always a good way to get ready for a big attack and stop juggling from opponents
You forgot about Falco's down taunt to down smash combo
Hands off my- CA!
1 hour early great vid as always
Can we have difference between Samus and dark samus
Note:Did you know that Falco has the highest jumps in the entire game!?
Go to the vault then go to Tips then go to fighters then press Falco than go to the bottom.
That's why Falco's recovery doesn't go as far.
@@anibalhyrulesantihero7021Exactly. I can already tell you that his recovery would have been OP if he and Fox had the exact Up Special.
@@Superemie401 Pretty much
I just realized in Falco's up smash, he kicks with his left foot twice. This whole time I thought he kicked right then left
falcos fair: do a barrel roll!
up air: try a somersault.
Fun fact falco,peppy,and slippy were going to be alternate costumes for fox in smash 64 since their all similar sizes. Sakurai briefly considered to have them but the reason why it got rejected was because Sakurai though that slippy being fast was unatural. Yeah Sakurai though to have alternate characters as costumes back in smash 64.
I thought the main reason was lack of time?
Ps: Nevermind. You're right.
I think he forgot the fact that falcos reflector comes out at frame 1
You mean fox?
Falco: you may be our leader but i can still kick your #%$@%
Fox: sure falco
The difference is that Falco wants your hands off his [insert Down Smash Here].
😹😹😹😹😹
This is the best series in your channel and I really love it
Why don't you do a video about samus and dark samus next time
I love Falco. He's looks cool
Falco’s blaster fires faster in the air because Falco personally prefers the air
Fox is a grounded fighter and Falco is an air fighter. Pretty accurate as animals and fighters.
Next Mario vs Luigi
Are Fox/Falco attacking with their TAILS during Down tilt? This whole time I thought they were just doing a sweeping kick and their tails kinda followed the normal motion of their body. If it's really true their doing a full on "tail whip" that's hilarioius, badass, and somewhat adorable.
Yes, they’re using their tails. (I honestly forgot Falco had one. 😅)
On April 1st u should do a video comparing peach and daisy
talks about fox having the fastest fall speed but not falco having the highest jump
Falco is already different enough
Great series of videos, what's the plan for Wolf?
0:41 so I guess you could say that falco prefers the air
I mean, they were both born and raised in the Cornerian Army so naturally they will have the same moveset but they use certain things differently to suit their species
Besides, both were leaders of a team at one point, but unlike Falco who left, Fox’s still the leader of his team. That’s not a surprise to see him leading the entire Smash Bros casting at the beginning of World of the Light when fighting Galeem. I bet it was Falco’s idea.
Ps: We don’t know anything about Falco’s biological family. I hope we’ll get an answer soon.
Wolf-fox when? Was fully expecting wolf to be included in this.
I think going into the frame data of falcos reflector would’ve been a good idea as the reflection hitbox actually comes out frame 1, the fastest frame in the game
jigglypuff has frame 1 invincibility on rest, and I don't remember who, but 2 characters have frame 1 jabs. I think zss is one. But if you're only talking reflectors, then yeah.
Tim V also little Mac has the other frame 1 jab, Luigi has frame 1 invincibility on down b and Marth and lucina have frame 1 intangibility on their up b in the air, duck hunt has a frame 1 neutral b, and so does snake
It can also be used in combos.
I love Fox's fighting skills and, I love Falco's personality
One is Faster
One jumps higher
One is good at pressure
One is good at punishing
bro you forgot falco’s best difference, “hand of my cawk” a mix of down taunt and down smash
What is the difference between difference and difference
Woah
It is not just fox or falco that are almost same but even wolf is almost same as them.
