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 often easier to set up the combo on {{SSB|Dream Land}}, due to the stage's smaller size allowing Falcon to approach the opponent and start the combo easier. | 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.

While the technique is usually impossible to escape if done correctly, the opponent can [[tech]] out of it in certain circumstances; namely, if they are still in [[hitstun]] while just above the top platform on Dream Land, they will be able to tech soon enough so that the [[invincibility frame]]s will prevent the Falcon player from landing the up aerial. | While the technique is usually impossible to escape if done correctly, the opponent can [[tech]] out of it in certain circumstances; namely, if they are still in [[hitstun]] while just above the top platform on Dream Land, they will be able to tech soon enough so that the [[invincibility frame]]s will prevent the Falcon player from landing the up aerial. | ||
In later games, this combo is commonly referred to as the "''64'' combo." However, in ''Melee'' and ''Brawl,'' Falcon's up aerial has a lower launch angle, decreasing its combo potential, and making it much harder to chain it into itself. In ''Smash 4,'' however, Falcon's up aerial has the same launch angle as in the original game, and is his main combo move. It can be reliably comboed into itself multiple times, though due to Falcon Dive's decreased speed and [[knockback]], it is no longer a viable way to end the combo | In later games, this combo is commonly referred to as the "''64'' combo."
