Given that he's a staple of the Smash Bros. series, Captain Falcon's return is entirely predictable. Things have changed since Melee, however. For one, he's now only the second fastest runner in the game (you get one guess as to who holds that honor now), and this time he's arrived with his Blue Falcon in tow, which he whips out for his Final Smash, a maneuver that Sakurai describes as "wild" and "cinematic."
Aside from that, it's business as usual, with the Falcon Punch (which even Snake seems to know about now), Raptor Boost, Falcon Dive, and Falcon Kick all making a return. Oh, and he's yours if you play 70 brawls, beat Classic Brawl Mode on the Normal difficulty setting or greater in less than 12 minutes, or recruit the Captain for your party in The Subspace Emissary.
