Captain Falcon (SSB4)/Back aerial

Hitbox visualization showing Captain Falcon's back aerial.

Overview

A quick backhanded strike. Has low landing lag with decent range, and autocancels in a SHFF, so it is one of Captain Falcon's best approach options. It can also combo into a dash attack or grab on landing at low percents, and has respectable power, KOing middleweights at around 135% from center stage when clean.
