Falcon Punch consists of Captain Falcon performing his iconic move: a slow but powerful punch wreathed in falcon-shaped [[flame]]s.

Throughout the ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' series, the Falcon Punch has consistently been one of the most powerful special attacks, however its power is counterbalanced by its predictability, due to its slow start-up time, along with Captain Falcon loudly announcing "Falcon...PAAAWNCH!" every time he uses it.

Aesthetically, the move will cause Captain Falcon to kneel downward, charge up power during the delay, before punching forward while crouching. In ''Smash 64'', Captain Falcon will shake his fist above his head while charging (if in midair, he cowers away from his orientation instead). In ''Melee'', Captain Falcon's stance is straightened, with his arms lowered and his left hand out (in midair, he will also do a recovering inward turn after the punch). In ''Brawl'', ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate'', the animation is somewhat similar, but Captain Falcon punches his right fist into his left before charging, and his pose is slightly exaggerated as a result of animation improvements.
