Captain Falcon (SSBM)/Forward smash

Overview

Captain Falcon rears back and thrusts his elbow in a fast-moving motion. This attack, despite its somewhat slow start-up and long ending lag, is actually amongst the most effective smash attacks in the game, due to its surprisingly high power, good range, good duration (4 frames), and its pseudo-counter effect (which often surprises opponents). This is the third strongest smash attack in the game (but in terms of KO %, it is the second strongest, due to Ganondorf`s having vertical knockback) and is among the strongest smash attack in Melee.
