Falcon is one tough character, his wide arsenal of moves, combined with speed and flight all add up to an all around great fighter and one of my top picks in game. Joining the ranks of the other flying characters, FalconÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s flight gives him a strong advantage and makes his play style way more fun. He has multiple skills to unlock, upgrading and adding to his fight style and making it all too easy for him to lay waste to any pesky enemy.

Lets take a look at what makes Falcon so fantastic!

The Figure

The Falcon Infinity figure is beautifully designed and a wonderful mix of color and clear plastic. The figure stands on a rocky base, one foot behind the other in a fighting stance, arms spread, chest out, fists clenched. What really sets this figure apart from most others is the gorgeous clear red wings that hang behind him. With wings pointed, head up, the design of the figure makes it clear Falcon is ready to throw down at any minute.

Game Play

Health & Defense:

FalconÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s base health is only three bars, but his skill tree has three health bar upgrades, and one super health bar upgrade. If fully upgraded, FalconÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s health can upgrade to 8 bars, making him one tough nut to crack. Holding the shield button will bring FalconÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s wings up and around his body, where he will tuck and hold his head in. A skill is available allowing for counter moves to both interrupt an attack, and to counter the broken attack. Some skilled timing of the block button is required, or you can do like most and mash the block button while being attacked, hoping to trigger the combo.

Combo Upgrade: FalconÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s Finisher

The base melee combo is a multi hit attack, by upgrading to this special skill, your melee is now has a wonderfully animated finishing move with Falcon swirling through the air like a life sized bullet.

Dive Attack: Drive and Dive

While flying, Falcon has the ability to speed down to the ground and do a strong landing, providing some recoil to enemies near by. Upgrading to this skill takes FalconÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s Air Assault and ups itÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s power significantly.

Ranged Attack: Hardlight Feathers

The Feather ranged attack has some impressive distance, able to reach targets 8 blocks away. The trick thing about the Hardlight Feathers is the alternating sides they shoot from, making targeting objects far away without the auto target lock quite tricky. Upgrading this attack with the Feathered Fury skill makes FalconÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s wings glow translucent red when fully powered up, and release five feathers directly in front of him.

Advanced Move: Hardlight Storm

This fantastic area attack is a great way to clear a large group of enemies that may be surrounding you. Triggering the attack sends Falcon leaping into the air, after a brief pause, he rains down in a large radius, several Hardlight Feathers, all of which explode on impact. After another quick pause, Falcon swoops up and around and power smashes into the ground. The one, two quick attack sends all your opponents in the area flying back and puts a quick end to anyone directly under him.
