Falco (SSBM)/Down smash

Line 5:

Falco does a quick split, hitting on both sides of him simultaneously, while dealing 16% damage uncharged to 21% fully charged. Despite having somewhat limited [[range]], it has pretty high knockback and KO power, while sending opponents on a [[semi-spike]] trajectory, making it an effective [[edgeguarder]] that can intercept many [[recovery]] moves, or just be used onstage while near the [[edge]]. If the opponent is hit very close to Falco's body, it knocks them straight up. This does very weak knockback, even at higher percentages, though it can [[combo]] into moves such as an {{mvsub|Falco|SSBM|up smash}}.

Falco's legs are [[intangible]] for a small part of the move's duration. However, as this duration includes the charging period, the intangibility can be extended by charging the move. This leaves Falco's entire lower half ~~unhittable~~ for a controllable amount of time, which can result in a surprise miss for incoming low attacks.
