==Overview==
==Overview==
Captain Falcon performs his signature move: Falcon Punch. It KOs incredibly early due to its high damage output and knockback. However, the move is easily the least useful of his special moves due to its high startup which make it easily punishable. Acts as a high-risk read tool and nothing else.
Captain Falcon winds up his fist and announces his signature move '''Falcon Punch'''. Although it possesses humongous [[knockback]] and [[damage]] potential from the move alone upon hitting an opponent, the move can easily be [[shield]]ed, unable to break a full shield despite dealing more shieldstun. As a result of its lengthy endlag, foes can retaliate and initiate a variety of follow up moves, causing Falcon to waste inititiative. Falcon Punch finds use only after shield break scenarios, where he can exploit the opponent’s helplessness. Due to how situational the move is, many players consider it to be the least useful special move, and by extension, his least useful move overall.

OverviewEdit

Captain Falcon winds up his fist and announces his signature move Falcon Punch. Although it possesses humongous knockback and damage potential from the move alone upon hitting an opponent, the move can easily be shielded, unable to break a full shield despite dealing more shieldstun. As a result of its lengthy endlag, foes can retaliate and initiate a variety of follow up moves, causing Falcon to waste inititiative. Falcon Punch finds use only after shield break scenarios, where he can exploit the opponent’s helplessness. Due to how situational the move is, many players consider it to be the least useful special move, and by extension, his least useful move overall.

  •   Both aerial versions have a shorter animation (124 frames → 119 (normal), 133 → 129 (reversed)), allowing Kirby to do airborne actions such as fast falling and grabbing ledges earlier without interrupting the move.
    •   However, the grounded reversed version has a longer animation instead (123 frames → 129).
