+'''Falcon Punch''' refers to [[Captain Falcon]]'s [[neutral B]] attack.  It is one of [[SSBM]]'s most powerful moves, with the highest [[knockback]] of any of Falcon's attacks (including charged [[smash attack|smashes]]).  This move is one of the few attacks in the game that is more powerful than the [[Home-run Bat]] at high damages, and thus players use it in Captain Falcon's world record [[Home-run Contest]] strategies.  Falcon Punch is also very slow, with a start-up time of 52 [[frames]].  As with all neutral B attacks, this move can be redirected by tapping the analog stick in a direction, returning it to neutral, and pressing B quickly.
+==Combos into Falcon Punch==
+Despite the slowness of Falcon Punch, there are a few situations where a [[launcher]] (namely, [[down aerial]]) can [[combo]] into Falcon Punch.
+===Tapion Punch Combo===
+Named after [[Tapion]], this two-hit [[combo]] leads into Falcon Punch after an [[l-canceling|l-canceled]] [[down aerial]].  It works on [[Fox]] as low as 75% [[damage]], [[Falco]] as low as 78%, and C. Falcon as low as 80%.  It can be avoided with [[Directional Influence]].
+===G-Regulate's Falcon Punch Combo===
+Named after [[G-Regulate]], this combo works similarly to the Tapion Punch Combo, but uses a [[platform]].  Captain Falcon must l-cancel a down aerial onto a platform so that it hits an enemy below him.  Against some [[character]]s at some damages (notably [[Marth]] at 65%), Falcon can combo his down aerial into Falcon Punch.   It can be avoided with Directional Influence.
