==Overview==
Falco turns diagonally and spins. At the start of his attack and hitbox from knee to lower body part, he can execute a [[meteor smash]] at his spinning heel. The meteor smash hit does 13%, otherwise 8%. It has extremely fast [[start-up]] (being the fastest meteor smash in ''Brawl'' in terms of startup), with a long-lasting normal hitbox, and only has 12 frames of [[landing lag]] upon landing, making it good at initiating ground-based [[juggle]]s (such as down aerial→down throw or down aerial→tap reset). It doesn't require the landing of specific hitboxes (like {{SSBB|Marth}}'s {{mvsub|Marth|SSBB|down aerial}}), which makes it much easier to land than other meteor smashes, while still having the power to be effective. If the opponent is hit with the meteor smash toward the ground and doesn't guard upon impact to the ground, they will bounce on the ground, allowing Falco to [[combo]] into any smash attack or start his [[laser lock]]. A {{mvsub|Falco|SSBB|down throw}} can lead into this move, this can be performed offstage to end a [[chaingrab]] or a way to setup a down aerial onstage to cause the opponent to bounce on the ground. It is especially effective at landing quick meteor smashes near the [[ledge]] and meteor smashing opponents recovering high (due to Falco's very high [[jump]]s). Like the other meteor smashes that were [[spike]]s in ''Melee'', it additionally sends opponents at a slight diagonal angle instead of straight down; unlike many such moves however, the angle was altered to one that would have been a meteor smash in ''Melee'' regardless. Due to Falco's lackluster [[recovery]] and the move's rather high duration, this attack is a moderate risk to use offstage. The move only meteor smashes during its initial hitboxes; landing the later hitboxes hits the opponent away with weak horizontal knockback. The move also has low base knockback, which prevents it from KOing or [[gimp]]ing most characters at low percents (it has high knockback scaling though to be effective at higher percents).
