The Falcon Dive in Brawl.

Falcon Dive is Captain Falcon's Up B attack. This attack has low priority. If the attack hits, Captain Falcon catches them and launches off with a cry of "Yes!". The attack burns the opponent after Captain Falcon launches. If a hit is scored, the attack can be used again. The attack goes higher than Ganondorf's Dark Dive, but falls faster and is harder to sweetspot with. It can grab a ledge backwards at the peak height. Falcon Dive may work as a Meteor Smash if used on an opponent near the bottom of a solid ledge. If you grab onto the opponent at the peak of Falcon Dive's duration, knockback is improved. In Super Smash Bros. Melee, this move can not grab an opponent that is hanging onto the ledge. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, this move cannot break Smash Balls but it is capable of destroying targets in Target Smash!! when the body comes in contact with the target.

In Super Smash Bros. and Melee, the Falcon Dive restores an opponent's midair jump. Template:Captain Falcon Special Moves
