Falco turns diagonally and, with one foot extended, performs a downward corkscrew stomp. This move is a [[meteor smash]] on aerial opponents. Grounded opponents are sent upwards instead, which leaves them open to other moves and prevents them from [[teching]].
Falco turns diagonally and, with one foot extended, performs a downward corkscrew stomp. This move is a decently strong [[meteor smash]] on aerial opponents. Grounded opponents are sent upwards instead, which leaves them open to other moves and prevents them from [[teching]].


This move has a few interesting properties. As a carryover from ''[[Melee]]'', it is one of the few meteor smashes that sends opponents diagonally downwards, more akin to a [[spike]] from that game, making it more difficult for them to reach the stage. It also benefits greatly from [[frame cancelling]] due to its high [[hitlag]], which will almost eliminate the otherwise high landing lag Falco would suffer. The late hit can also [[jab reset]] any floored opponent, leaving them wide open to anything Falco decides to use. In spite of these valuable assets, this move is rarely used as an [[approach]], due to its slow startup and high ending and landing lag. It is most commonly used in [[edgeguarding]] or as a follow-up after a down throw.
