Falco spins around in place at a downward angle. His down aerial is considered the best [[spike]] in the game, having an extremely long duration of 20 frames and having [[sourspot]] hitboxes that still spike relatively powerfully (in NTSC only). The move is generally regarded as the best non special move in the game, and one of the best overall attacks in ''Melee''. Falco's down aerial is vital to his success as a character, acting as a powerful [[approach]], [[combo]], [[tech chasing]] and [[edgeguarding]] option all at once. The move is Falco's most rewarding approach option; at low percents the move directly combos into his {{mvsub|Falco|SSBM|down special|alt=shine}} or {{mvsub|Falco|SSBM|down tilt}}, and at higher percents combos into other aerials including itself. In addition, the move cannot be properly [[crouch cancel]]ed, aiding in its abilities as a neutral opener at low percents. | Falco spins around in place at a downward angle.

Using this move in | Using this move in conjuction with the shine is known as [[pillaring]] and is the basis for all of Falco's combos; the vertical knockback of shine directly combos into a down aerial which as a spike, links perfectly into another shine. This cycle of shines and down aerials is expanded with a variety of other moves, most notably {{mvsub|Falco|SSBM|up tilt}}, {{mvsub|Falco|SSBM|neutral aerial}}, and {{mvsub|Falco|SSBM|back aerial}}, and is a notable way to [[shield break combo|wear down shields]]. The possibilities opened up by Falco's down aerial are near unlimited, and this is one of the primary reasons why Falco is such an unforgiving character; in the hands of a competent player, this move can absolutely devastate every other character, potentially netting KOs as early as 30%. | ||
