Captain Falcon (SSB)/Neutral aerial

Overview

Hitbox of Captain Falcon's neutral aerial.

Captain Falcon does a standard sex kick. It deals 16% damage if hit clean, but only 13% if hit late. It is rather powerful when it first comes out, and is a decent KO move, particularly on floaty characters. It is also a decent defensive option due to being able to cover options from the opponent in many situations, and being able to setup other moves such as a grab or an up smash if Falcon lands during the move. The move is mostly used as a combo finisher, particularly against floaty characters after a chain of forward aerials.
