The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters.
When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted.

Falco (SSBM)/Down aerial

From SmashWiki, the Super Smash Bros. wiki
< Falco (SSBM)
Revision as of 14:36, June 21, 2013 by Omega Tyrant (talk | contribs) (Extremely powerful is something like Ganon's dair, which Falco's dair is nowhere near in power. The move also certainly has ending lag, and the move doesn't make Falco fall any faster.)

Overview

Falco's down aerial is one of the most feared in the game, being a very fast and powerful spike that has no sourspot, and having a spiking hitbox with a long duration (however, in the PAL version, the second half of the move produces weak horizontal knockback instead). It can easily be done out of a short hop. It is of extreme risk to use below the ledge, however, due to the combination of its long duration, Falco's very fast falling speed, and Falco's terrible vertical recovery.
