Captain Falcon (SSBM)/Forward aerial

Overview

Known as the Knee Smash, Captain Falcon sticks out his knee. If sweetspotted (located anywhere on his body at the first frames of execution), the opponent is electrocuted and is sent in a difficult-to-DI-out-of semi-spike trajectory with extremely high knockback. If sourspotted, the move is very weak with little knockback, though it can be chained into another Knee. Considered one of the best moves in Melee and the most powerful forward aerial. Can impressively KO as low as 60% off stage.

It can make use for many of Captain Falcon's aerial combos as well as to attack opponents on the ground. A sweetspoted knee can even be followed up with a aerial Falcon Punch in the "Sacred Combo".
