Falco (SSBM)/Back aerial

Overview

Hitbox duration of Falco's bair.

Falco does a kick behind himself. This attack is a sex kick, like his neutral aerial, and it has relatively high KO power and quick startup. These advantages make it a staple edgeguarding move in Falco's metagame, and it can reliably KO off of either the side or top of the screen at realistic KO percentages on smaller stages. It is also a basic followup to a jump-cancelled shine, and can be used in combos with up tilts and other moves to great effect. The weaker second hitbox is also quite effective against crouch cancel at low percent due to its Sakurai Angle properties, letting Falco combo into Shine.
