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.
