In ''Brawl'', the lasers from Falco's Blaster travel farther than the ones from Fox's, and they are blue instead of red. They now also have an [[electric]] effect as well. They are very similar to Fox's lasers from ''Super Smash Bros.'' outside of doing less damage. It is considered to be one of the best projectiles in the game, as it has transcendent priority and disrupts the approach of a majority of the cast. This is by exploiting short hop double lasers to shoot one laser in the air and one close to the ground. Combined with [[Falco Phantasm]], throws, and his dash attack, this is a common Falco approach. It is often also used to [[lock]] after a jab cancel, or "combo" at various damage percentages into a [[DACUS]] or [[forward smash]]. Also, much like in ''Melee'' but to a lesser extent, Falco's lasers can also be used to set up edgeguards. | In ''Brawl'', the lasers from Falco's Blaster travel farther than the ones from Fox's, and they are blue instead of red.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Falco's Blaster is functionally similar to its ''SSB4'' incarnation, but it has reduced startup and ending lag. Additionally, Falco can now fire a single laser in a short hop while only experiencing six frames of landing lag, and the grounded version fires more quickly, resulting in the aerial version's increase in firing rate now becoming largely marginal as a result | In ''[[Super Smash Bros.

The laser lock may also be done after a [[down aerial]] by Falco toward the ground if the opponent does not roll off the floor. The laser lock does not work on all characters. The thinner characters will lie under the laser just barely. | ||

In | In Brawl, a [[laser glitch|small glitch]] with Falco's Blaster is that if used at the right range, the shots will stick into some platforms and remain damaging until it expires. It can most easily be done on New Pork City (or any custom stage with a specific type of ramp), when the player stands where the bridge begins and fires at the platform to the left. It can also be done in ''Brawl's'' [[Temple]], on the ramp to the far upper-right of the stage, if the player stands in a certain spot and fires; and in [[Corneria]] if the player stands on the engines, jumps, and fires at the tip of the wing. | ||
