Falco (SSBM)/Forward aerial

Overview

Hitbox duration of Falco's forward aerial.

Falco does five consecutive kicks in front of himself. The move has a very long duration, and it is difficult to connect all of the hits. In addition, the move can cause occasional SD's if carelessly used offstage. However, despite the move being very punishable if whiffed, it is a great way to rack up damage on floaty characters, and using the first hit before landing can also lead into moves such as a down aerial on such light characters.
