Editing Captain Falcon (SSBU)/Forward aerial

{{ArticleIcons|ssbu=y}}
[[File:CaptainFalconFAirSSBU.gif|thumb|350px|Hitbox visualization showing Captain Falcon's forward aerial.]]
==Overview==
{{competitive expertise}}
Captain Falcon performs his notorious [[Knee Smash]]. While the sweetspot only lasts one frame, it's  immensely powerful when it hits. Because of its sheer power, it deals high shield damage, makes a great edgeguarding tool, combo finisher, and punishes airdodges if the player reads it correctly or whiffed aerial moves. Even the sourspot has a purpose in edgeguards as a poking tool on aerial opponents in the middle of recovering. Outside of its one frame sweetspot, the move has other problems in its decently high landing lag.

==Trivia==
The move has [[Special Zoom]] parameters defined for a sweetspotted hit, in a similar vein to [[Falcon Punch]]. However, the Special Zoom is never applied in-game, so the data goes unused. The parameters correspond to the following:
