Captain Falcon (SSBM)/Side special

Overview
Captain Falcon's side special move is known as Raptor Boost, where he dashes forward. If he comes into contact with an opponent, he releases a fiery uppercut that launches the opponent upward and has potential combo ability. However, if the move does not hit an opponent, Captain Falcon will fall over and leave himself highly vulnerable to punishes. Additionally, if he dashes over an edge, he will become helpless until he lands. The move also meteor smashes opponents it hits in the air, but this is extremely weak and impractical, since Captain Falcon cannot grab the edge whilst using this move and becomes helpless after touching an aerial opponent.
