>>47322089>Dragon King was confirmed to not even have special movesthen that just makes things even worse
>Falcon having matching normals and run does not help your case at all.matching? bud, they don't even look the same opposed to what Falcon's strikingly shared from Samus. (even his untextured model/polygon is just derived from Samus)
you can apply "it's was finalized" to any 64 character that was planned to be in the game too. Maybe Marth was going to get kicks like Ike does or Samus getting Dragon Man's tilts and such. Although that's not really the point, lol, they're all generic kicks.
>Falcon had no moveset to draw on to begin with, remember the Falcon Flyer trophy in Melee? That was actually in a promotional comic for the original F-Zero, which did feature Falcon with some combat experience. There was some sort of creative inspiration (aka made up stuff) there on top of recycling Samus parameter base to make Captain Falcon.
But overall, there wasn't a case his moveset and playstyle is just recycled from Dragon King.
>Quite likely, Falcon did start off being molded from Samus(as you've noted) but ended up utilizing their old material in other places. It cannot be conclusively proven, you are right about that.exactly
unless Sakurai makes an interview confirming the connection, which he never made despite talking about how Falcon and Fox's movesets were made and pre-SSB, the comparisons are speculative.
but hey, at least it's nothing 100% false, like all those terrible rumors surrounding cut 64 characters.
