Captain Falcon (SSB)/Neutral aerial

Overview

Hitbox of Captain Falcon's nair.

Captain Falcon does a standard sex kick, dealing 16% when it first comes out. As other sex kicks in the game, it does less damage and knockback if it hits during the latter part of the animation. It is rather powerful when it first comes out, and it is a decent defensive move because it can knock opponents away from Falcon, though it has trouble comboing. At lower percentages, the duration is often too long to reliably followup with other moves, while at higher percentages, its knockback is often too high. It can sometimes be used as a surprise KO move, however, since it is usually fresh when used, and it can also be used as a combo finisher after a forward aerial, particularly against floaty characters.
