Captain Falcon (SSB)/Back aerial

Overview

Hitboxes of Captain Falcon's back aerial.

Captain Falcon extents his fist behind him, doing 16% damage and reasonable knockback. The strongest back aerial in the game. A pretty safe move to use with its decent range, as it is good for edge guarding and can space well. It is also very good to use in combos, as it can combo into another back aerial, a down aerial for a variation of the Ken Combo, or a reverse back aerial. A down aerial used on a grounded opponent can also combo into it at percentages around 140%, which is usually enough to KO.

When Captain Falcon hits an opponent with this move, it produces a hard "Ping!" cartoon sound while his other aerials produces a regular cartoon sound in the NTSC version of Smash Bros. 64.
