'''Falling speed''' is the rate at which a character can move downward in mid-air. A character's falling speed can greatly impact the fighting style - for instance, [[Fox]], a fast-faller, uses his aerial speed to perform attacks out of a short hop and fast fall very quickly afterwards, whereas [[Jigglypuff]], a floaty character, uses its low falling speed to attack multiple times in mid-air | '''Falling speed''' is the rate at which a character can move downward in mid-air.

While falling speed's main effect is determining how quickly a character can drop downwards, it also affects the physics of [[knockback]]. After a character is launched, their [[gravity]] still applies, slowing their vertical ascent until the reduction equals their falling speed; as a result, characters with higher falling speed have their vertical knockback reduced for longer, improving their vertical endurance while also hampering their ability to recover from horizontal blows. However, [[weight]] is still the main factor in how much knockback is sustained in the first place, and the two factors are independent - a fast-falling character is not necessarily heavy, and vice versa. Samus and Fox are notable examples of this. | While falling speed's main effect is determining how quickly a character can drop downwards, it also affects the physics of [[knockback]].
