The move is also much more unsafe against shielding opponents. In ''Smash 64'', Falcon Punch caused immensely high shieldstun to the point where the move was frame positive on shield. In ''Melee'', however, with shieldstun/shield damage being significantly reduced, the move causes much less shieldstun and has become highly punishable if it lands against a shielding opponent. | The move is also much more unsafe against shielding opponents.

One of the most famous combos is the '''Sacred Combo''', invented by {{Sm|Cort}}, which involves following up a [[Knee Smash]] into an aerial Falcon Punch. If performed successfully, this combo results in a [[KO]] in almost all cases, although by performing this combo, Captain Falcon may fail to recover back if he jumps too far off the edge. Additionally, the only reliable way to connect the two moves is if the opponent poorly [[DI]]s towards Captain Falcon. Regardless, KOing an opponent with the Sacred Combo is widely regarded as being one of the most stylish ways to do so | One of the most famous combos is the '''Sacred Combo''', invented by {{Sm|Cort}}, which involves following up a [[Knee Smash]] into an aerial Falcon Punch.

The '''Tapion Combo''', a down aerial to Falcon Punch combo named after a Smasher that landed it consistently, is also possible, though only works at specific percents. | The '''Tapion Combo''', a down aerial to Falcon Punch combo named after a Smasher that landed it consistently, is also possible, though only works at specific percents. | ||

The Falcon Punch originated in the ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' series and is generally considered both a part of the {{uv|Super Smash Bros.}} universe and his falcon motif.

The [[List of Super Smash Bros. references in other franchises|move made its ''F-Zero'' debut]] with a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CJn69FgEko scene] from the episode {{s|fzerowiki|The Legend of Falcon}} in ''{{iw|fzerowiki|F-Zero: GP Legend|anime}}'', where it's used by Captain Falcon to prevent Black Shadow from escaping a reactor's explosion, defeating him. The explosion, large enough to be seen from outside the Milky Way Galaxy, is often misinterpreted as being caused by the Falcon Punch itself, consequently becoming memetic. Outside of ''Super Smash Bros.'', the move is often used to describe or add humor to powerful punch-based events as an imitation of its power in ''GP Legend'' and within the ''Super Smash Bros.'' games, often with voice clips or special effects inserted. | ||
In ''Smash'', the scene in ''GP Legend'' is seemingly referenced in a [[Subspace Emissary]] cutscene, where Captain Falcon performs a Falcon Punch on a giant {{SSBB|R.O.B.}} in a similar fashion, while unwittingly killing a number of {{SSBB|Olimar}}'s {{b|Pikmin|species}}. In ''Smash'', the move is referenced in [[Codec Conversations#Captain Falcon|Captain Falcon's Codec Conversation]] featuring [[Otacon]], who coincidentally shares the same Japanese voice actor with Captain Falcon in ''GP Legend''. Additionally, the crowd cheer for Captain Falcon consists of repeated chants of "Falcoooooon Punch!" in the English versions of ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate''. | In ''Smash'', the scene in ''GP Legend'' is seemingly referenced in a [[Subspace Emissary]] cutscene, where Captain Falcon performs a Falcon Punch on a giant {{SSBB|R.O.B.}} in a similar fashion, while unwittingly killing a number of {{SSBB|Olimar}}'s {{b|Pikmin|species}}.
