Known as the '''[[Knee Smash]]''', Captain Falcon sticks out his knee. If sweetspotted (located anywhere on his body at the first frames of execution), the opponent is electrocuted and is sent in a difficult-to-DI-out-of semi-spike trajectory with extremely high knockback. If sourspotted, the move is very weak with little knockback, though it can be chained into another Knee. Considered one of the best moves in ''Melee'' and the most powerful forward aerial. Can impressively KO as low as 60% off stage.  
Formally known as the '''[[Knee Smash]]''', Captain Falcon sticks out his knee. If it lands during the initial frames, the opponent is electrocuted and suffers extremely high knockback, with the move being difficult to [[DI]] out of. If it lands any other time, the move is very weak with little knockback, though it can be comboed into another Knee, and it can [[gimp]] some recoveries (such as {{SSBM|Falco}}'s) in certain situations. Captain Falcon can also [[SHFFL]] this move so he can effectively follow up with his other great aerials, including itself. Considered one of the best moves in ''Melee'' and the most powerful forward aerial. Can impressively KO as low as 60% off stage.  


It can make use for many of Captain Falcon's aerial combos as well as to attack opponents on the ground. A sweetspoted knee can even be followed up with a aerial [[Falcon Punch]] in the "Sacred Combo".
It can be utilized in many of Captain Falcon's aerial [[combo]]s, being an excellent combo finisher and versatile part of his combos alike, as well as a generally great KO move and [[edgeguarder]]. At low percentages on grounded opponents, the move can also combo into itself. A clean knee can even be followed up with an aerial [[Falcon Punch]] in the legendary "[[Sacred Combo]]".
