Captain Falcon (SSB)/Neutral special
Overview
Named the Falcon Punch, Captain Falcon charges a powerful punch and throws it, with his fists engulfed in a flaming falcon shape, doing 24% damage and advances slightly forward. It is one of the strongest moves in the game. In addition, the move is faster than it was in Melee and Brawl, making the Smash 64 Falcon Punch deadly. It is best to use this move as a combo finisher - the most notable way to combo into it is using an up aerial. Other combos into the move include a forward throw on fastfallers or heavyweights at around the 50-70% range, and a down aerial on a grounded opponent at around 110-120%. Falcon can also use a Falcon Punch to gain him a little horizontal distance when recovering, and a little vertical distance as well if the move is angled up.
