Captain Falcon (SSBM)/Up aerial

Overview

Hitbox of Captain Falcon's uair.

Captain Falcon does a flip kick in the air. The knockback of the move is pretty decent, with the main part of the attack sending opponents on a semi-reliable angle for edgeguarding, and the hitbox near his feet while traveling back being able to semi-spike, albeit with much less knockback and hitstun than in Smash 64 (even considering the reduced hitstun in Melee). The move can be used for juggling to some extent, though not very reliable. The semi-spike portion of the move is generally used to gimp characters with poor recoveries. The move does have some combo ability, being able to lead into neutral aerial, down aerial, and Knee Smash mostly, as well as Falcon Dive in some situations. Also, the move is sometimes used right after a wall jump on stages such as Yoshi's Story.
