| | Falcon Punch is the only attack that can hurt Chuck Norris. |
| '''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 (combined with the fact that Captain Falcon's home run attack flies upwards rather than sideways), 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.

| In ''Brawl'', Captain Falcon can turn around during the start-up of the punch. It does slightly more damage.

| ==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.
