'''Falco Lombardi''' (Japanese: {{hover|ファルコ・ランバルディ|Faruko Ranbarudi}} ''Falco Lombardi'') is a member of the [[Star Fox (team)|Star Fox Team]] and is the best pilot the team has to offer. He is  raptor (bird of prey) with blue feathers. He is a staple in the series appearing in every title since [[Star Fox (game)|''Star Fox'']].

Falco was a member of various space gangs, including the [[Hot Rodders]] (along with good friend [[Katt Monroe]]) and was the head of another gang, named [[Free as a Bird]]. He later left his gang to help form the second Star Fox team on an invitation from an old friend of his, [[Fox McCloud]]. Being the ace pilot of the team, his flight skills are unmatched. He is a great fighter and asset to the team. He hails from the planet [[Corneria]] where he attended military academy with Fox and [[Bill Grey]]. While originally piloting an [[Arwing]], in ''[[Star Fox Command]]'' his Arwing is personalized as the Sky Claw.

[[File:Falco Assault Intro.png|left|thumb|Falco during the opening of ''Star Fox: Assault''.]]A year after the events of ''Star Fox Adventures'', Falco and his teammates came to [[Fortuna]] by request of the [[Cornerian Defense Force]] to deal with a rebellion led by [[Andrew Oikonny]]. Falco was the first to realize that their job was to stop the rebellion by silencing Oikonny for good.<ref>{{cite quote|"We're here because we gotta put this creep on ice."|[[Fox]] and Falco|[[Star Fox: Assault]]}}</ref> Falco followed his teammates to the Arwings and followed Oikonny to the surface of Fortuna. Once they caught up with Oikonny, Falco taunted him for trying to emulate Andross. Upon Oikonny's defeat, Falco watched as an [[Aparoid]] destroyed Oikonny's ship. Falco helped Fox fight the Aparoid and returned to the Great Fox after it was destroyed. There, he listened as [[Beltino Toad]] and [[General Pepper]] explained the Aparoid menace. Falco and the team were then sent by General Pepper to investigate a distress signal from [[Katina]]. Falco stayed in the air as Fox used his [[Landmaster]] tank to take out the Aparoids from the ground. When Fox was attacked by an enormous Aparoid walker, Falco was unable to help in the battle and Fox destroyed the creature alone. Without warning, [[Pigma Dengar]] escaped the base and stole the Core Memory from the Aparoid. The Star Fox team returned to the Great Fox and pursued Pigma. The team pursued Pigma to the [[Sargasso Space Hideout]] where they lost track of him. One of the ruffians hacked into their communication's channel and Falco demanded his identity. Fox told Falco and Krystal to handle the space front while he and Slippy took out the enemy teleporters in the base. Once Fox destroyed the teleporters, Star Wolf appeared. Falco fought against Leon once more until Fox defeated Leon. After the battle, Falco argued a bit with Star Wolf's newest member, [[Panther Caroso]]. Panther soon told the team where to find Pigma and the two teams left the base.

Upon their arrival at Fichina, Falco complained that the planet was nothing but snow and ice, to which Fox responded by saying that the planet had a climate control device. Peppy revealed that the device was done and Fox went down to fix it. Falco complained about Fox always wanting to be a hero, but conceded due to his dislike of ice. When Fox was attacked by Aparoid-infected sentry bots Falco flew down to save him. Falco then told Fox to ride on his wing while Peppy sent down an Arwing. Pigma then appeared and Falco chased after him.[[File:Falco Peppy Death Assault.png|right|thumb|Falco distressed at Peppy's sacrifice.]] Unfortunately, Falco had to stop when an Aparoid infected the climate control device. Falco landed as the Arwing arrived and Fox got off. He then proceded to help Fox fight the Aparoid and the creature was defeated without damaging the device. The team followed Pigma to the [[Meteo Asteroid Belt]]. On the way, Falco taunted Pigma about trying to hide in an asteroid belt and Fox asked why<ref>{{cite quote|"So, this is like an amusement park to a former gang member?"<br>"You know it!"|[[Fox]] and Falco|[[Star Fox: Assault]]}}</ref> Falco followed his team to the base Pigma had built in the Asteroid Belt. Falco was there when the team encountered Pigma's absorption into a giant Aparoid. The combined efforts of the team destroyed the robot and helped them claim the Core Memory. Upon their return to the Great Fox, the team sent the Core Memory to Beltino. There, Krystal was sent a telepathic message from [[Sauria]]. Fox delayed the attack on the [[Aparoid Homeworld]] to return to Sauria. Falco once again stayed in his Arwing and fought in the air. When Fox and Krystal began flirting before the mission, Falco took up the job of breaking them up and headed out. Falco and Slippy kept the skies clear as Fox and Krystal cleared the ground of hatchers and left when their job was finished.

''This story occurs if Falco decides to continue pursuing Krystal after missing her in the Asteroid Belt.''


Deciding to leave Fox behind to find Krystal, Falco headed to [[Sector X]] to intercept Star Wolf. Unfortunately, Star Wolf had already cleared the area. Falco instead came up against the Pigma Robot, a robot that contained the remnants of the mind of Pigma Dengar. Falco was once again assisted by Katt and, together, they destroyed Pigma. When Falco returned to the Great Fox, he recieved a message from Fox saying that they defeated the Anglar. Fox and Krystal had made up and Slippy was getting married. Falco, unable to face his friends after such a disgrace, decided not to go to Aquas and meet his friends. Falco wallowed in selfpity for some time before Katt Monroe gave him the advice to start a new team. Falco teamed up with Katt and the Cornerian pilot, Dash Bowman, to form a new team known as Star Falco.

Falco has appeared as an unlockable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4|Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]''. He is slower than Fox, but has the best jump height in ''Smash'' history.
Falco has appeared as an unlockable character in every ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' title from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and onward. He is slower than Fox, but has the best jump height of all the characters.

[[File:FalcoMelee.png|thumb|100px|Falco's concept art for ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''.]]
Falco made his ''Smash Bros.'' premiere in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', the second game of the series. Here, he was shown to be even faster than Fox and had an even better jump. His appearance is based off of concept art from the original ''Star Fox'' game. While Fox's Blaster was demoted in strength, Falco's Blaster could stun its target, but could not be used rapidly, just like Fox's Blaster in [[Super Smash Bros.|the original game]]. The Falco Phantasm attack is similar to the Fox Illusion, but is faster and covered less distance. Falco's Fire Bird attack is his recovery move. It is more powerful than Fox's, but does not have as much reach. Falco also uses a Reflector that can be used to reflect enemy attacks. It works just like Fox's Reflector. In ''Melee'', Falco is unlocked by clearing the 100 Man Melee and defeating him in battle.

[[File:SubspaceFalco.png|thumb|Falco's introduction into ''The Subspace Emissary''.]]
Falco returned in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', once more as an unlockable character. Falco is unlocked in the same manner as he was in the previous game, which was clearing the 100 Man Brawl. Falco's appearance in this game is similar to Fox's in that his character build is based off his appearance in ''Star Fox Command'' with a more realistic appearance. Many of his moves are unchanged, though his blaster does travel a longer distance. Falco's Final Smash is the Landmaster, just like Fox and Wolf. Falco's Landmaster is the weakest of the three, but it is also the one that can fly for the longest amount of time and can be maneuvered more easily than the other two.

[[File:SubspaceFalco.png|right|thumb|Falco's introduction into ''The Subspace Emissary''.]]
Mirroring his tendency to appear late in the ''Star Fox'' games, Falco appeared at the last second to save Fox and [[mariowiki:Diddy Kong|Diddy Kong]] from [[mariowiki:Bowser|Bowser]] and his Dark Cannon. Falco then helped the two fight a giant False Diddy Kong created by Bowser before Falco appeared. The three defeated the replica and, unwilling to help Diddy, was dragged away by him similar to Fox earlier on. Falco and Fox then led Diddy to their ship the Great Fox. While Fox went to deal with the [[wikirby:Halberd|Battleship Halberd]], Falco flew Diddy to the Smash Skiff, where [[mariowiki:Donkey Kong|Donkey Kong's]] trophy was. As Diddy left, Falco gave him the thumbs up sign.

Falco later appeared to aid Fox, [[mariowiki:Peach|Princess Peach]], [[zeldawiki:Zelda|Princess Zelda]], [[bulbapedia:Lucario|Lucario]], and [[smashwiki:Snake|Solid Snake]] in the fight against Duon, a creature created by Shadow Bugs and the trophy of [[mariowiki:Mr. Game & Watch|Mr. Game & Watch]]. After Duon's defeat, [[wikirby:Meta Knight|Meta Knight]] piloted the Halberd towards a coastal region where other heroes were located. The heroes then fought a Subspace Gunship, piloted by Bowser and [[zeldawiki:Ganondorf|Ganondorf]], and defeated it. Falco was among the heroes that entered Subspace and was defeated by Tabuu's Off Waves. Fortunately, his trophy was found by [[wikirby:King Dedede|King Dedede]], [[mariowiki:Luigi|Luigi]], and [[wikibound:Ness|Ness]] and he was revived. After Tabuu's defeat, Falco was one of the heroes to watch the Smashworld's restoration.

Competitively, Falco received large nerfs since ''Brawl'', and is seen by the fanbase as a much weaker character. Otherwise, he is largely unchanged, with the same special moves and Final Smash.
