The '''Stairway to Heaven''' is a popular and easy [[combo]] performable by {{SSB|Captain Falcon}} in ''[[Smash 64]]'', which consists of a series of {{mvsub|Captain Falcon|SSB|up aerial}}s leading into a [[Falcon Dive]]. The combo was named by smasher {{Sm|Battlecow}}, after the {{s|wikipedia|Led Zeppelin}} rock song ''{{s|wikipedia|Stairway to Heaven}}''. | The '''Stairway to Heaven''' is a popular and easy [[combo]] performable by {{SSB|Captain Falcon}} in ''[[Smash 64]]'', which consists of a series of {{mvsub|Captain Falcon|SSB|up aerial}}s leading into a [[Falcon Dive]].

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. Instead, the up aerial leads efficiently into [[Knee Smash]]. | In later games, this combo is commonly referred to as the "''64'' combo."

In ''Ultimate'' however, Falcon Dive is much stronger, having much more knockback than in previous games, being a viable KO move and combo finisher, bringing back certain aspects of the combo from how it was in ''64'' and is able to KO close to the ledge at 45% - 60% (depending on the opponent's weight) after a grab or a [[Raptor Boost]]. | |||
