| Captain Falcon moves backward a short distance before dashing forward, allowing him to dodge and counter close-range attacks. The move can be used for [[mindgames]] owing to its unpredictability and the ability to retreat at the start. It is also worth noting that using the move out of [[hitstun]] during airborne drastically increases its travel distance and speed, similar to {{SSB4|Wario}}'s [[wectoring]]. This can be exploited to grant a significant boost in recovery distance for the move, to the extent that Captain Falcon can recover from the other side of the stage or even potentially catch opponents off-guard with an unexpected attack. However, due to how far it travels out of hitstun, it can lead to [[SD]]s if not used cautiously.

| Wind-up Raptor Boost was not included in any combinations from the [[Official Custom Moveset Project]]. While the move's charge time is faster and has negligible endlag in the air, the resultant animation increases its startup lag and reduces its travel distance if the move isn't done out of hitstun, and the move is also additionally weaker. As such, Captain Falcon players generally preferred side special 1 due to its KO power and simplicity.
