===Ground Attacks=== | ===Ground Attacks=== | ||
*{{buff|[[Gentleman]] | *{{buff|Neutral attack's [[Gentleman]] hit is now always separated from the rapid punches (just like in the PAL version of ''Melee''). While there is still a big window of time where pressing the attack button results in the punches, it can be avoided by [[jab cancel]]ing. On whiff, the jab combo has to be slightly delayed to avoid using the jabs.}} | ||

*{{buff|[[ | *{{buff|Aerial [[Raptor Boost]] now [[spike]]s foes and propels Captain Falcon with forward momentum if it lands, and can now grab the ledge. When used towards an edge from the ground, Captain Falcon now goes into the ending animation instead of instantly becoming helpless, allowing him to still grab the edge and come back to the stage.}} | ||
*{{buff|Landing lag for a successfully connected aerial [[Raptor Boost]] has been lowered to match that of a missed aerial Raptor Boost.}} | |||

*{{buff|[[Falcon Dive]] retains its vertical distance, | *{{buff|Retains ability to grab foes on the ledge with [[Falcon Dive]], like in ''Brawl''. It also retains its damage from ''Brawl'', dealing 17% damage (up from ''Melee'''s 15%) as well as dealing slightly higher knockback.}} | ||

*{{change|Falcon Punch can be turned around up to four times, though this is predictable and has no real practical use for competitive play. Additionally, each reversal after the first one resets the move's starting animation, and like in ''Brawl'', a reversed Falcon Punch deals slightly more damage and knockback.}} | |||
