Known as Falcon Dive, Captain Falcon leaps up in the air. If he comes into contact with any opponent, he grabs them, and launches them on a diagonal upward trajectory, accompanied by an explosion and the "YESZ!" SFX. The move is hard to DI due to the trajectory. Normally, the move makes Captain Falcon helpless, but if he grabs an opponent, he will be able to use it again. This move is Captain Falcon's primary recovery move, but it travels a rather short distance, is predictable, and cannot grab edgehoggers. When combined with Captain Falcon's rather large size, it makes him easy to edgeguard. However, the move is notable for being a combo finisher to a string of up aerials launching the opponent upward. This combo is seen commonly in competitive play due to being easy to perform yet very effective.
