It involves Captain Falcon kneeing his opponent, with low to moderate knockback at higher percents. It deals 10% damage in ''Smash 64'', 8% in ''Melee'', and 5% in ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4''. | ||

There are several methods to perform the Gentleman. The player can perform the third punch by pressing any button in conjunction with the [[A button|A]] ({{Sm|Isai}} finds this easiest to achieve with [[Z button|Z]]). {{Sm|S2J}} discovered that one can hold down on the control stick after the initial jab and continue the rest of the combo to get the Gentleman. The safest and most guaranteed (but not necessarily the easiest) method is to simply allow each jab to complete its animation. However, the first two methods do not work if the jab combo whiffs (even the last method has a chance of failing if the first or second jabs whiff), leaving Captain Falcon wide open if the opponent can escape it in time. | There are several methods to perform the Gentleman.

In ''Smash 4'', the Gentleman has reverted almost entirely to its ''Melee'' iteration, having increased knockback to set up combos. As mentioned above, it is much easier to perform, as one only needs to hit the A button three times or even simply hold down the A button to execute it. If one mashes the A button, however, Captain Falcon will skip the knee entirely and enter his rapid jab combo, which now has a knockback finisher of its own that makes it almost just as safe regardless. | In ''Smash 4'', the Gentleman has reverted almost entirely to its ''Melee'' iteration, having increased knockback to set up combos.
