Captain Falcon (SSB4)/Down aerial: Difference between revisions

Captain Falcon performs a downward stomp with both feet. If sweetspotted, it is a strong [[meteor smash]]. It otherwise sends opponents diagonally with even higher knockback. Aside from duration, its timing bears a striking resemblance to [[Falco (SSB4)/Down aerial|Falco's]]. This move is an excellent high-risk, high-reward option when [[Edgeguarding|edgeguarding]], as it can KO characters offstage at low percent thanks to its high knockback and meteor smash angle. This especially powerful against characters with poor vertical recoveries, such as [[Donkey Kong (SSB4)|Donkey Kong]]. It also allows Falcon to perform powerful [[Footstool Jump|footstool]] combos by following up a footstool with a fastfall down aerial - this can [[Lock|lock]] the opponent, or bounce them up into the air for additional follow-ups (including another footstool). Examples of footstool combos can be seen [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=haciLbzgYTA here.]
