'''Falling speed''' is the rate at which a character can move downward in mid-air. A character's falling speed can greatly impact the fighting style - for instance, [[Fox]], a fast-faller, uses his aerial speed to perform attacks out of a short hop and fast fall very quickly afterwards, whereas [[Jigglypuff]], a floaty character, uses its low falling speed to attack multiple times in mid-air. Falling speed is measured in [[unit]]s per [[frame]].
'''Falling speed''' is the rate at which a character can move downward in mid-air.

While falling speed's main effect is determining how quickly a character can drop downwards, it also affects the physics of [[knockback]]. After a character is launched, their [[gravity]] still applies, slowing their vertical ascent until the reduction equals their falling speed; as a result, characters with higher falling speed have their vertical knockback reduced for longer, improving their vertical endurance while also hampering their ability to recover from horizontal blows. However, [[weight]] is still the main factor in how much knockback is sustained in the first place, and the two factors are independent - a fast-falling character is not necessarily heavy, and vice versa. Samus and Fox are notable examples of this.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', the [[equipment]] bonus effects, Thistle Jump and Anchor Jump, can be used to alter a character's falling speed, with Thistle Jump decreasing it, while Anchor Jump increases it. However, both bonus effects also alter a character's [[gravity]].

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', moves that launch at angles between 70° and 110° now instead cause characters' falling speeds to be homogenized to a set value of 1.8 until [[hitstun]] ends, making falling speed no longer play a major factor on vertical survivability; however, it still plays a factor on moves outside of this range, as well as moves which deal weight-independent knockback, as they ignore this effect.

All characters can also [[fast fall]] at any time during a descent to increase falling speed, so long as they are not in [[tumble]].

===Fast-faller===
===Fast-faller===
'''Fast-faller''' is a name that refers to characters with a fast falling speed. Fox, Captain Falcon, and King Dedede are prominent examples of fast-fallers, with Fox being unusually light for how quickly he falls.

Fast-fallers enjoy increased speed in the air and, in ''Melee'', faster [[Short hop fast fall l-cancel|SHFFL'd]] approaches; however, they suffer from shorter [[recover]]ies. They are also susceptible to different [[combo]]s from [[floaty]] characters. For instance, {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}} can [[chain grab]] floaty characters with his [[down throw]], but cannot do so against fast-fallers. On the other hand, he can [[tech-chase]] fast-fallers (or chain grab them given the right percents) with up throw, which he cannot do against floaty characters. Generally, fast fallers are more vulnerable to [[chain grab]]s and [[combo]]s (although [[weight]] and character size are other factors as well); for instance, in ''Melee'', {{SSBM|Marth}} can chain his [[up throw]] on the space animals repeatedly and ultimately finish them off with a [[forward smash]], but this combo is substantially less effective on a floaty character such as Peach or Jigglypuff (although, notably, this chaingrab does not work on fast-faller Captain Falcon, as he is too heavy).

===Floaty===
'''Floaty''' is a name that describes characters with a slow falling speed. Jigglypuff, Peach, and Samus are prominent examples of floaty characters, with Samus being unusually floaty for how [[weight|heavy]] she is.

Floaty characters have great benefits in terms of performing [[aerial attack]]s, since one would able to perform multiple aerial attacks in succession (such as [[Jigglypuff]]'s slow falling speed and multiple mid-air jumps allowing it to do the [[wall of pain]]) and easier recoveries due to slow falling speeds allowing easier maneuvering. Downsides include vulnerability to being [[juggle]]d, having easily predictable recoveries, or being KO'd vertically easily. On the flip side, floaty characters tend to be less vulnerable to chain grabs and combos.

===Notes===
===Notes===
*Excluding Giga Bowser and Wario-Man, no character in ''Brawl'' can surpass a falling speed of 2 without [[fast falling]]. King Dedede comes the closest, falling slightly faster than Yoshi in ''Melee'', with a maximum fall speed of 1.95.
*The Alloys are equipped to have falling speeds of 1.28 (The same as Mario, just like they share his [[weight]], [[air speed]] and [[gravity]]), even though they are modeled after characters of differing air status (falling, air movement, gravity).
*Falco received the largest decrease to his falling speed in the transition from ''Melee'' to ''Brawl'', going from 3.1 to 1.708, a difference of 1.392 units. Conversely, Zelda received the smallest decrease, going from 1.4 to 1.13, a difference of just 0.27 units.
*Excluding Giga Bowser and Wario-Man, no character in ''Brawl'' can surpass a falling speed of 2 without [[fast falling]]; King Dedede comes closest, falling nearly as fast as Ganondorf in ''Melee''.
