In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', the move now has [[landing lag]] and cannot be fired as frequently. Consecutive shots are much slower in midair, rendering the short hop laser technique much less viable. Additionally, the lasers travel more slowly, and have reduced travel distance. The nerfs to Falco's Blaster is one of the key reasons he is considered a low tier in ''Smash 4'', as it gives him significantly more difficulty with approaching or contesting against them. | In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', the move now has [[landing lag]] and cannot be fired as frequently.

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 ''Ultimate'', Falco can laser lock much like in ''Brawl'', but opponents can only be locked two times before an automatic reset occurs. | ||

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. | ||
