Captain Falcon does a flip kick in the air. A very versatile attack, being very useful for [[combo]]s, and on par with {{mvsub|Pikachu|SSB|up aerial|poss=y}} for being the best [[aerial attack]] in the game. Depending on what part of the hitbox hits, it can send the opponent at different angles:
Captain Falcon does a flip kick in the air. A very versatile attack, being very useful for combos, and on par with {{mvsub|Pikachu|SSB|up aerial|poss=y}} for being the best aerial attack in the game. Depending on what part of the hitbox hits, it can send the opponent at different angles:
*During its first few frames, the heel launches upwards which can be chained into itself multiple times to rack up damage, with multiple combo finisher options available. The most common are {{mvsub|Captain Falcon|SSB|up special|alt=Falcon Dive}} (which can easily KO offstage due to sending opponents a difficult-to-[[DI]] diagonal upward trajectory, and can also [[Star KO]] near the upper [[blast line]] at any part of the stage) and {{mvsub|Captain Falcon|SSB|down aerial}} (which is an effective [[edgeguarding]] option, and could be considered a [[Ken Combo]] variation). Other combo finishers available are the {{mvsub|Captain Falcon|SSB|neutral special|alt=Falcon Punch}} in certain situations, and the up aerial with the [[semi-spike]] portion of the hitbox landed (back of his foot/the heel).
*The heel hits them up, with the largest hitbox, and can be chained into itself multiple times to rack up damage, with multiple combo finisher options available. The most common are {{mvsub|Captain Falcon|SSB|up special|alt=Falcon Dive}} (which can easily KO offstage due to sending opponents a difficult-to-[[DI]] diagonal upward trajectory, and can also [[Star KO]] near the upper [[blast line]] at any part of the stage) and {{mvsub|Captain Falcon|SSB|down aerial}} (which is an effective [[edgeguarding]] option, and could be considered a [[Ken Combo]] variation). Other combo finishers available are the {{mvsub|Captain Falcon|SSB|neutral special|alt=Falcon Punch}} in certain situations, and the up aerial with the [[semi-spike]] portion of the hitbox landed (back of his foot/the heel).
*The mid-section of the leg launches forwards, with two medium-sized hitboxes. This part of the hitbox while Falcon is moving back hits the opponent backwards at the [[Sakurai angle]], having equal KO power to Captain Falcon's {{mvsub|Captain Falcon|SSB|back aerial}}. The mid hit is not very easy to land, and is not seen too much in competitive play.
*The mid-section of the leg hits them forward, with a medium-sized hitbox. This part of the hitbox while Falcon is moving back hits the opponent backwards at an angle, again with a medium-sized hitbox. Neither of them are very easy to land, and neither are seen too much in competitive play.
*The back of his foot/the heel launches at a 20 degree angle backwards, with semi-spike properties, meaning that it is rather useful and effective for edgeguarding. Not too difficult to land, can intercept certain [[recover]]ies such as {{SSB|Pikachu}}'s [[Quick Attack]] and {{SSB|Fox}}'s [[Fire Fox]].
*The back of his foot/the heel hits them at a 180 degree angle backwards, with a small hitbox and semi-spike properties, meaning that it is rather useful and effective for edgeguarding. Not too difficult to land, can intercept certain [[recover]]ies such as {{SSB|Pikachu}}'s [[Quick Attack]] and {{SSB|Fox}}'s [[Fire Fox]]. This part of the attack, in fact, has two separate "sub-parts" - it can also send opponents at a slightly higher angle with a bit less knockback if it hits earlier/higher, along with the usual low angle.
*His shoulder hits them at a 180 degree angle forwards, again being a semi-spike, but being incredibly difficult to time and land, and so rarely ever seen in competitive play. Theoretically it could be pretty useful for edgeguarding when the other semi-spike portion of the move is not available.
