Captain Falcon's Contest History

Who is Captain Falcon?
Most people know Captain Falcon from the Super Smash Bros. series. Very few people know him from his series of origin, F-Zero. And everyone knows him as a fighter, but those who really know him know him for his true occupation - the greatest racer in the entire galaxy.

Captain Falcon didn't actually appear in the first F-Zero game, but he was in the comic that came with it. In the second installment in the series, F-Zero X on Nintendo 64, Captain Falcon appeared as a playable racer. In 1999, Falcon left the cockpit for the first time and fought as an unlockable character in Super Smash Bros. This was when most people got to know him. He was absent from GBA's 2001 game, F-Zero: Maximum Velocity, but one of the racers in the said game, Kent Aketchi, claimed to be his son. Also in 2001, Super Smash Bros. Melee was released on Game Cube, which featured Captain Falcon as a starting character this time. In 2003, Game Cube's F-Zero GX found Captain Falcon in a Story Mode-type game for the first time, and it was not your typical racing game Story Mode at all. In 2004, F-Zero got it's own TV series, and of course, Captain Falcon was in it. F-Zero: GP Legend, a GBA game based off of the TV series, featured many story modes, each based on a different character. Needless to say, Captain Falcon had one of them.

Captain Falcon may never get the respect he deserves. Racing and driving games wouldn't be what they are today without 4 specific characters. Tanner is the first. Mario is the second. Diddy Kong is the third. And Captain Falcon is the fourth.

Captain Falcon's Contest History
Win-Loss Record: 0-2

Summer 2006 Contest: Time Division - 8 Seed
 * Time Round 1 --- Lost to (1) Crono, 29306 [25.84%] - 84090 [74.16%]
 * Extrapolated Strength --- 46th Place [21.48%]

SSBM is a gold mine for getting characters into contests, and Captain Falcon is the latest example. He wasn't put in a winnable position (thanks, female bracket), but at least he got in and proved once again why SSBM is a godly force on GameFAQs. Well, that plus F-Zero's four fans. We're slowly but surely getting to the day when all of the SSBM characters get in at least once.

Summer 2007 Contest: Division 3 - Second Group
 * Division 3 Round 1 --- 3rd place, 22482 [18.79%] - Fox McCloud, 54609 [45.63%] - Wario, 26937 [22.51%] - Banjo, 15638 [13.07%]

Captain Falcon somehow made a return appearance this year, and he was put into one of the most uninteresting matches of the contest--a fourway Nintendo affair with fodder and midcarders. He took third place as expected, though he did help to expose Wario for the worthless sack of crap that he is.
