==Overview==
Falco performs a two-handed overhead swipe. This is Falco's strongest attack if hit clean, KOing as early as 70% when fully charged. It also has decent range and [[transcendent priority]]. However, it has low speed and high ending lag, making it easy to [[punish]] and often requiring a [[hard read]] to successfully land. The late hit has low [[SDI]] capacity and no transcendent priority, but also low [[hitlag]] and low power.

As a result, this move is used almost exclusively as a punish. It is also forgone in favour of his faster KO moves, such as up smash and back aerial.
