Falco (SSBB)/Forward smash

Overview

Hitbox visualization showing Falco's forward smash.

Falco brings his arms down in a chopping manner. The move deals 10% if the hands connect and deals 15% if his arms connect. The move is Falco's strongest attack knockback wise, KOing at around 130%, but despite its power, the move is very sluggish, hitting on frame 16, and must be sweetspotted for efficient KOs. The move thus often necessitates a hard read to be used effectively and as such, players often turn to Falco's up smash for more guaranteed punishes.
