Captain Falcon (SSBB)/Up aerial

Overview

A backflip kick. Considered one of his best moves along with his jab, up aerial serves as a multi-purpose move. Up aerial is used for KOing, approaching, racking up damage, and even gimping characters offstage. Comes out on frame 6 and lasts for 28 frames, it is considered to be one of his most versatile moves in general, and an important tool for Falcon players to utilize properly.

• Due to what is presumably a programming error, the "delete all hitboxes" command runs on the same frame the latest hit begins, and so the latest hit never occurs. This oversight was directly copied over from Melee.
