'''Falcon Punch''' | '''Falcon Punch''' is [[Captain Falcon]]'s [[neutral B]] attack. The move consists of Captain Falcon throwing a powerful punch, with his fist engulfed in flames. It is one of most powerful moves in all three [[Super Smash Bros. (universe)|Super Smash Bros.]] games, 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 since Captain Falcon's home-run attack has an upward trajectory, it is always more useful), 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]]. | ||
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Captain Falcon can turn around during the start-up of the punch, increasing its damage. This is a '''Reverse Falcon Punch''' (see second picture). It also has 42 frames in this game. The Reverse Falcon Punch does slightly more damage than a standard one, possibly due to [[Wikipedia:Centrifugal force (rotating reference frame)|centrifugal force]]. | In ''[[Super Smash Bros.
