In ''Melee'', the Gentleman is often considered to be the superior ending to Captain Falcon's neutral attack combo, as it has little ending lag and usually knocks opponents away far enough for it to be safer than the rapid jabs that normally follow it. This also allows for much better followups at higher percents, potentially setting up an edgeguard situation or even for the [[Knee Smash]] where the rapid jabs would render Captain Falcon unable to do so otherwise.

In ''Brawl'', the Gentleman has severely nerfed knockback for the purpose of reliably linking to the jabs. Because the knockback has been lowered to the point where it cannot knock opponents back a significant distance until 200% or KO even at sudden death percentages, cancelling the jabs for the Gentleman is nearly pointless, except against characters without quick aerial moves, in which case the Gentleman can be mixed up with another gentleman or a [[jab reset]].

In ''Smash 4'', the Gentleman has reverted almost entirely to its ''Melee'' iteration, having increased knockback to set up combos. It is much easier to perform, as one only needs to hit the jab button three times or even simply hold down the attack to execute it, and is safer as the move no longer leads into his rapid jab. If one mashes the attack button, Captain Falcon will skip the knee entirely and enter his rapid jab combo, which now has a knockback finisher of its own that makes it almost just as safe regardless.
