The move consists of Captain Falcon throwing a powerful punch, with his fist engulfed in flames shaped like a falcon. It is one of the most powerful moves in all three [[Super Smash Bros. (universe)|''Super Smash Bros.'']] games, 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 (and since Captain Falcon's home-run attack has an upward trajectory in ''Melee'', it is always more useful), and thus players use it in Captain Falcon's world record [[Home-Run Contest]] strategies. The Falcon Punch is very slow, with a start-up time of 52 [[frames]]<ref>http://www.angelfire.com/games5/superdoodleman/Captain_Falcon_frames_11.6.05.txt SuperDoodleMan's frame data</ref>. It is also very noisy, especially since Captain Falcon has to announce it with a "Falcon...PUNCH!" every time he uses it, making it even more predictable. | The move consists of Captain Falcon throwing a powerful punch, with his fist engulfed in flames shaped like a falcon.

The move is one of Captain Falcon's primary KO moves in ''Super Smash Bros.'' It is best used when timed to match an opponent's recovery, KOing them as they recover. | The move is one of Captain Falcon's primary KO moves in ''Super Smash Bros.''
