The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters.
When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted.

Formally known as the '''Knee Smash''', Captain Falcon sticks out his knee. If it lands during the initial frames, the opponent is [[electric|electrocuted]] and suffers extremely high knockback, with the move being difficult to [[DI]] out of. If it lands any other time, the move is very weak with little knockback, though it can be comboed into another Knee, and it can [[gimp]] some recoveries (such as {{SSBM|Falco}}'s) in certain situations. Captain Falcon can also [[SHFFL]] this move so he can effectively follow up with his other great aerials, including itself. Considered one of the best moves in ''Melee'' and the most powerful forward aerial. Can impressively KO as low as 60% off stage.

It can be utilized in many of Captain Falcon's aerial [[combo]]s, being an excellent combo finisher and versatile part of his combos alike, as well as a generally great KO move and [[edgeguarder]]. At low percentages on grounded opponents, the move can also combo into itself. A clean knee can even be followed up with an aerial [[Falcon Punch]] in the legendary "[[Sacred Combo]]".
