Captain Falcon (SSBM)/Neutral attack

Overview

A natural combo involving two punches, a knee, and rapid jabs.

The knee hit is commonly known as the Gentleman when used without the subsequent rapid jabs. In NTSC versions of the game, Falcon automatically moves into the rapid jabs unless both the previous links of the move were continued after their completion (i.e. there was idle time between each of the first three hits). In the PAL version, the punches will not initiate automatically, instead requiring a button press during the third hit.
