A commonly used lock is Falco's laser lock, which, unlike other locks, has enough range to hit and lock characters on level ground with Falco regardless of distance (assuming tournament legal maps).

Larger stages like [[Bridge of Eldin]] can cause a character to move far enough away that Falco's lasers cannot reach them. There are many followup options that Falco can use, such as his [[BDACUS]]. The easiest and most effective way to set up a Laser Lock is to land a down throw or grounded down aerial and immediately [[buffer]] the first hit of Falco's jab. Falco cannot always follow up with a KO move because of distance, reducing the effectiveness of the laser lock to damage building only. It should also be noted that the laser lock only works at percentages equal to or exceeding 80% as Falco's moves will not cause a tumbling animation until said percentage. | ||
Not all characters can be laser locked, due to the height of their character model while lying down. For other characters, it is dependent on which way they fall, since the height of the hitbox can change if they fall on their face or on their back. | Not all characters can be laser locked, due to the height of their character model while lying down.

Most moves with a burial [[effect]] are able to lock an opponent indefinitely past the three hit limit in ''Smash 4'' (one notable example being {{SSB4|Villager}}'s down smash), giving the possibility of 0-death combos in team battles. It is important to note, however, that a lock cannot be started using a burying move, as the opponent will reset before the lock is able to be continued. Burial moves cannot lock opponents in ''Brawl''. | Most moves with a burial [[effect]] are able to lock an opponent indefinitely past the three hit limit in ''Smash 4'' (one notable example being {{SSB4|Villager}}'s down smash), giving the possibility of 0-death combos in team battles.
