Given how stupid the teammates are when controlled by the computer, I don't have confidence that Star Fox or Star Falco or any other team could ever save the galaxy without the help of the almighty player. So when I hear Star Falco being as good as Star Fox, that's ridiculous. I just think "we'll see about that, Falco." 5 minutes, that's all it will take.
And where'd this Falco in love with Fox thing come from? Have you been reading Star Fox fanfiction or something?
Also, I'm kind of annoyed that speech is cut off slightly in ROMs of Star Fox 64. When one of Falco's lines end with "Fox", it sounds like he's saying something else. Either that or he doesn't drag out the x sound as long as I do.
I like Falco because his attitude adds to the enjoyment of the team banter. Even though I felt like shooting him down in Titania when he said "I think you look better in a tank", just as I'm getting slammed side to side when crashing into things.
