the phenomenon that occurs when cartoon characters (or characters in general), esp. anime characters always shout out the names of their attacks before using them, therefore pointlessly notifying the opponent that they will use the attack on them, and giving the opponent a chance to fight back somehow. Named after Captain Falcon, a notable character with this syndrome
"Falcon Punch!" —Captain Falcon
"Why are you shouting the name of your attack? They'll know when to jump out of the way when you use it, you have Captain Falcon Syndrome"

"Kamehameha!" —Dragonball character

Starts when a sports team has a huge lead for the majority of the game and it appears the game is going to be a blowout. When contracted, the leading team then allows the opposing team to catch up and ultimately win the game, typically in the last part of the game which may include overtime.
The most well known case of Falcons syndrome occurred when the Atlanta Falcons blew a 25 point lead in the fourth quarter of Super Bowl 51 against the New England Patriots.

Falcon Syndrome, or "Falcons" for short, may take years to develop, and, when in the final stages, may blind patient with hubris, ultimately leaving them unable to communicate in any form except self-flattery when reminded that not everyone who isn't from their town is retarded.

Side effects include, but are not limited to:
- Dependency on social media, i.e Twitter, Facebook, etc...
- Narcissism
- A naive-ness to most forms of common sense and political correctness
- A lacking in maturity when not given what they want, which tends to be worsened by consumption of alcoholic beverages
"I heard she has Falcon Syndrome, but it doesn't seem like she knows!"
"I don't think she'll ever find out, the poor girl."

"Yo, dog, I hate to break it to you, but I think your girlfriend has Falcons."
"You're totally right, she won't get off Twitter. This is not good."
