A spike is an an attack that sends the opponent down and which cannot be meteor-recovered. Falcon's dair is not a spike, neither is Samus dair. Not even Ganondorf's. With these moves, the downwards trajectory can be cancelled by pressing "jump" or "up+b" at the right time. The rest of the moves have attacks of similar effect, with varying efficiency.
Few characters have spikes. In fact, there are 3. The rest may have meteor smashes but not spikes.
There are 3 spike moves.
1) Falco's Dair. 2) Marth's Dair. 3) Ganondorf's Down+B
Note also that Spikes don't necessarily kill the opponent each time: at low damages the downwards thrust wears off and a character can recover. By 40 or so damage, though, this just isn't the case. The spike is almost always devastating to the opponent, and because of this, Falco and Marth players use it whenever it will hit.

- Meteor smash – a spike that can be recovered from through a meteor cancel.
- Semi spike – a move that hits the opponent at a very low angle, minimizing recovery opportunities.
- Shine spike – a Fox technique that utilizes the down-b reflector to spike an opponent.
