Captain Falcon (SSBB)/Forward aerial

Overview

Captain Falcon performs a knee strike. Due the harmful changes to its hitbox, it is no longer as spammable as it was in Melee. It includes punishing unwary opponents, as well as gimping opponents offstage by its sourspot following up into up air. Forward air can also be used to finish a flashy combo. Its best use, however, is to be saved as a kill move.
