Falco (SSBM)/Up aerial

Overview

Hitbox duration of Falco's up aerial.

Falco kicks above himself whilst extending his tail upwards. This move has two hits, and is somewhat weaker than Fox's up aerial. The move is rarely used against fastfallers as a KO move because of this, though it is sometimes used as a powerful combo tool to lead into another moves, especially his Down aerial. It is more effective as a KO move against floaties, as it can be used as an alternative to his shine to Star KO on stages with low ceilings such as Yoshi's Story and Pokémon Stadium. It can also situationally be used as a followup to an up throw (depending on the opponent's DI).
