The two main purposes of this move are as a ranged poke in [[neutral]] or on shield and a safe, versatile combo finisher. In neutral its relatively low lag, decent range, and angling allow it to keep opponents at bay and remain functionally safe of shield should the opponent defend in time. The angling allows Captain Falcon to space the [[sweetspot]] as it will not reach as far when not pointed straight out. The extra damage from angling and the [[sweetspot]] increase shield safety frame-wise while losing some [[range]]. This can be combined with sliding tilt attacks (done by canceling the running turnaround animation with a tilt attack) to increase safety when retreating with the move, or to increase range when approaching. | The two main purposes of this move are as a ranged poke in [[neutral]]] or on shield and a safe, versatile combo finisher.

As a combo finisher, forward tilt is very consistent with a frame 7 startup, solid range, and angling. Landing with moves at low percent such as up air, neutral air, or back air will reliably combo into this, racking on easy damage. The main benefit to using this move as a combo finisher is to set up for a [[tech chase]]. At anywhere from 10-50% Forward Tilt sends at a low angle with [[tumble]] to force an opponent to | As a combo finisher, forward tilt is very consistent with a frame 7 startup, solid range, and angling.

The main benefit to using this move as a combo finisher is to set up for a [[tech chase]]. At anywhere from 10-50% Forward Tilt sends at a low angle with [[tumble]] to force an opponent to tech, which Captain Falcon is good at chasing down. This move does not however start any combos, though can put an opponent in a difficult position for further followup. | ||
Other applications for Forward Tilt include using it as a ledge trapping tool. Not only can angling the move down hit many characters hanging from ledge, but the solid four active frames help cover getup options such as neutral getup. And with the low endlag and decent shield safety a missed ledge trap attempt is often of little consequence. Having the same startup as dash attack, and the previously mentioned sliding tilt technique, lend to Forward Tilt being a decent whiff punishing tool as well. | Other applications for Forward Tilt include using it as a ledge trapping tool.
