The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters. |
When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted. |

Captain Falcon (SSBB)/Down aerial
Overview[edit]
Captain Falcon stomps downwards with both of his legs. With the hitbox coming out on frame 16 and ending on frame 45, down aerial can be used as a standard gimping tool, a suboptimal approaching tool, or a combo mixup. This move is primarily used for approaching, gimping opponents offstage, and for comboing. Autocancelled down air can lead to either a jab or forward tilt. This can also be used for buffering turnarounds or attacking opponents in general. Due to its longer startup and more specific uses, Falcon players prefer to open up with attacks such as his jab or up aerial first, since they have more versatility overall. Down aerial's combo capabilities are limited due to the hitbox's tight placements, limiting this to a handful of characters across select percentages.
