The '''Stairway to Heaven''' is a popular and easy [[combo]] | The '''Stairway to Heaven''' is a popular and easy [[combo]] with {{SSB|Captain Falcon}} in ''[[Smash 64]]'', which consists of a series of {{mvsub|Captain Falcon|SSB|up aerial}}s leading to a [[Falcon Dive]]. The startup move varies, though it is usually initiated by a {{mvsub|Captain Falcon|SSB|forward throw}} or an {{mvsub|Captain Falcon|SSB|up smash}}, especially among less experienced Captain Falcon players. It can be performed most effectively on [[Hyrule Castle]], due to the three brown platforms allowing Falcon to combo the opponent to the top of the stage without having to be very precise with the timing of his up aerials. However, it is commonly easier to set up the combo on [[Dream Land]] due to the stage's smaller size allowing Falcon to approach the opponent and start the combo easier. | ||
