Captain Falcon (SSBM)/Down aerial: Difference between revisions

Captain Falcon does a [[stomp]] attack. This attack has three [[hitbox]]es - the lower two on the legs, and the upper one in the torso region. The lower hitboxes have powerful [[meteor smash]]ing properties (fourth strongest in the game) with some high [[hitstun]] as well, while the upper hitbox is an extremely powerful [[spike]] known as the [[Nipple Spike]] - it is the strongest spike in the game, but is also notoriously difficult to land (despite it also having a rather large hitbox). It can KO at low percentages, and can be combo'd into with moves such as a down aerial on a grounded opponent, [[Captain Falcon (SSBM)/Side special|Raptor Boost]], a [[Captain Falcon (SSBM)/Neutral aerial|neutral aerial]], or a [[Captain Falcon (SSBM)/Down throw|down throw]]/[[Captain Falcon (SSBM)/Up throw|up throw]] (depending on the [[falling speed]] of the opponent). When used on a grounded opponent, the move is also a great [[combo]] starter, being able to lead into an aerial, including a [[Captain Falcon (SSBM)/Forward aerial|Knee Smash]] as a finisher or another down aerial to get the opponent back onto the ground, with potential to start a [[tech-chase]].
