Captain Falcon (SSB)/Back aerial: Difference between revisions

Captain Falcon throws a backfist behind him, dealing 16% [[damage]] and reasonable [[knockback]]. It is the strongest [[back aerial]] in the game. A fairly safe move to use, considering its large [[disjoint]]. It is useful for [[edgeguarding]] and can [[space]] well. While it has somewhat high [[landing lag]] under normal circumstances, this issue can easily be avoided via [[Z-cancel]]ling. It is also very useful in [[combo]]s at low to moderate percentages, being able to lead into another back aerial (a [[wall of pain]] variation), a reverse back aerial, or a {{mvsub|Captain Falcon|SSB|down aerial}} (for a variation of the [[Ken Combo]]) at low to moderate percentages. A down aerial used on a grounded opponent can also combo into a back aerial at percentages around 140%, which is usually enough to KO. The move can also be used during [[soft platform]] landings and drops to mix up Falcon's aerial game on stages such as {{SSB|Dream Land}}.

When Captain Falcon hits an opponent with this move in the [[NTSC]] version of ''Smash 64'', it produces a hard "Ping!" cartoon sound, while his other aerials produces a regular cartoon sound.
