Captain Falcon (SSBU)/Back aerial

Overview

A backhanded punch. Low landing lag, making it one of Captain Falcon's best approach options. The move deals high knockback as well when hit clean, and it can combo into a dash attack or grab on landing at low percents. Due to Falcon's high air speed, it can even perform a wall of pain at low-mid percents offstage. Deals 13% when cleaned and 8% if late.
