'''Falcon Punch''' refers to [[Captain Falcon]]'s [[neutral B]] attack.  It is one of [[SSBM]]'s most powerful moves, with the highest [[knockback]] of any of Falcon's attacks (including charged [[smash attack|smashes]]). This move is one of the few attacks in the game that is more powerful than the [[Home-run Bat]] at high damages (combined with the fact that Captain Falcon's home run attack flies upwards rather than sideways), and thus players use it in Captain Falcon's world record [[Home-run Contest]] strategies. Falcon Punch is also very slow, with a start-up time of 52 [[frames]].  As with all neutral B attacks, this move can be redirected by tapping the analog stick in a direction, returning it to neutral, and pressing B quickly.
'''Falcon Punch''' is [[Captain Falcon]]'s [[Standard Special Move]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.


In ''Brawl'', Captain Falcon can turn around during the start-up of the punch. It does slightly more damage.

==Combos into Falcon Punch==
 
Despite the slowness of Falcon Punch, there are a few situations where a [[launcher]] (namely, [[down aerial]]) can [[combo]] into Falcon Punch.
 
===Tapion Punch Combo===
Named after [[Tapion]], this two-hit [[combo]] leads into Falcon Punch after an [[l-canceling|l-canceled]] [[down aerial]].  It works on [[Fox]] as low as 75% [[damage]], [[Falco]] as low as 78%, and C. Falcon as low as 80%.  It can be avoided with [[Directional Influence]].
 
===G-Regulate's Falcon Punch Combo===
Named after [[G-Regulate]], this combo works similarly to the Tapion Punch Combo, but uses a [[platform]].  Captain Falcon must l-cancel a down aerial onto a platform so that it hits an enemy below him.  Against some [[character]]s at some damages (notably [[Marth]] at 65%), Falcon can combo his down aerial into Falcon Punch.  It can be avoided with Directional Influence.
 
===User:Zmario's Falcon Punch===
Named after [[User:Zmario]] this involves a 4 step set up. this can only be done in [[Super Smash Bros.]] and on [[Hyrule Castle]] and on Training Mode. Pick capt Falcon and kill the opponent (Mario or weaker. Use his upsmash twice whiwe the opponent is on the top platform. When they come down grab them and throw them up. The jump and Falcon Punch them into a [[Star Ko]], They should only have about 60 something damage. This is a good chain attack!
