Knee Smash: Difference between revisions

The Knee Smash has had a slew of changes, but is overall nerfed. While it has slightly less startup, Captain Falcon still has very few ways of reliably landing a hard knee, even with the removal of hitstun cancelling from ''Brawl''. To further hamper its usefulness against grounded opponents, the Knee Smash has significantly more landing lag (is now 30 frames, or half a second) and can no longer auto cancel in a short hop. However, it does have much more base knockback with reduced scaling as a result, being safer to land a hard knee at lower percents and essentially acting as Ganondorf's forward aerial used to in previous installments.
