The '''Knee Smash''' ({{ja|ストライキングニー|Sutoraikingu Nī}}, ''Striking Knee''), also well-known in the fan community as '''The Knee''' and '''Knee of Justice''' (and a variety of other nicknames involving the term "knee"),  is [[Captain Falcon]]'s [[forward aerial]] since ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. It is an extremely powerful low-trajectory KO move often used at the end of Falcon's combos and for edge-guarding. It deals up to 18% [[damage]] in ''Melee'', 19% in ''Brawl'' and ''SSB4'', and 22% in ''Ultimate'', and has [[electric]]al properties when [[sweetspot]]ted. The name of the move is confirmed from his "Red" Smash trophy description in ''Melee'', as well as that game's strategy guide.
