Captain Falcon does a sliding kick forward a considerable distance, with his foot surrounded by flames; known as the '''[[Falcon Kick]]'''. If used on a platform and the move's duration still hasn't ended after Falcon goes off the [[edge]], he will continue to move straight forward. If the move is started in midair, Falcon will rush downward at a diagonal angle. The move does 15% damage and pretty decent horizontal knockback. It's not a reliable KO move, though it can [[edgeguard]] opponents, and there are a few ways to combo into it, such as with a {{mvsub|Captain Falcon|SSB|forward aerial}}. He moves a considerable distance down when using it in midair, though, so it can only really be used reliably on opponents [[recover]]ing high. This means it can be used to counter [[juggling]], however, from characters such as {{SSB|Fox}}. Due to the move sending Falcon a good horizontal distance when used while grounded, it can easily be used to traverse aerial platforms on stages such as | Captain Falcon does a sliding kick forward a considerable distance, with his foot surrounded by flames; known as the '''[[Falcon Kick]]'''.

*This move can be used to perform a [[glitch]], which will cause it to "bounce" when used close to any edge while facing the opposite direction of it. The only way to achieve this position is by [[roll]]ing towards a solid platform's edge, which appears to register a character as both on and (exceptionally slightly) off of said platform. This explains why the wall collision animation plays instead of normal aerial or grounded travel, as well as why certain other attacks ({{SSB|Kirby}}'s | *This move can be used to perform a [[glitch]], which will cause it to "bounce" when used close to any edge while facing the opposite direction of it.
