When used in the air, the move changes from an uppercut to an overhand punch, acting as a [[meteor smash]]. Captain Falcon becomes helpless whether the move connects or not; as a result it is very risky to use in midair. In ''[[Melee]]'', Captain Falcon's momemtum instantly halts when he hits an opponent, making the move difficult to survive using in any case. In ''[[Brawl]]'', however, he bounces over the meteor smashed opponent and keeps a bit of sideways momemtum.

This attack is useful for [[tech-chasing]], due to its duration and range. Additionally, it can be [[combo]]ed directly into Falcon's [[Knee Smash|knee]] to achieve KOs relatively easily. Sometimes people follow with [[Falcon Dive]], which can lead to [[punishment]].

As the move doesn't deal any damage until it hits a target, it does very poorly at protecting Falcon from opposing attacks via clanking, leading to a reputation of low [[priority]].
