Falco (SSBM)/Back aerial

Overview

The hitbox of Falco's bair.

Falco looks behind himself and kicks. This attack is a sex kick, like his neutral aerial, and it has relatively high KO power and quick startup. It is also a great move to use for edgeguarding. It slightly hits opponents upwards, meaning that at high percentages, it can Star KO on stages with lower ceilings such as Yoshi's Story and Pokémon Stadium. A jump-canceled shine can be used to combo into this move, for either an edgeguard or the aforementioned situational Star KO.
