When he does switch he goes Fox or Captain Falcon as a way to fight against Adam “Armada” Lindgren’s Peach or James “Duck” Ma’s Samus and switches to Fox for Hungrybox’s Jigglypuff. On various occasions, he’s switched off Falco in lieu of a perceived better choice. Westballz is the other Falco giving the spacie good representation. In other tournaments, Mang0 used a combination of Fox and Falco, Falco being the lesser played and less successful of the two. He placed 13th at the UCG and 4th at DHW 2016. At DreamHack Winter 2016, Mang0 also went only Falco, losing to Juan “Hungrybox” DeBiedma and William “Leffen” Hjelte. He lost early in the bracket to Michael “MikeHaze” Pulido and was knocked out by Jason “Mew2King” Zimmerman. Meanwhile, his Falco faltered, especially at the UCG Smash Open where he went only Falco. Mang0’s best performances in 2016 have been with Fox. When Mang0 does win lately, it's usually because of Fox more than it is because of Falco. Sure, each player has had their moment of grandeur with Falco in the past two years such as Westballz at Sandstorm and Mang0 at Paragon Los Angeles, but across the board, Falco mains' suffering stays consistent. In the absence of Kevin “PPMD” Nanney and his preference for Marth lately, there are only two players carrying the burden of the bird: Joseph “Mang0” Marquez and Weston “Westballz” Dennis. Despite Falco’s high placement in the tier list, his tournament performance has weakened these past two years.
