Captain Falcon (SSBM)/Neutral special

Overview

Captain Falcon's Neutral special in SSBM is his classic move, the Falcon Punch. After a couple seconds of charging the move up, Captain Falcon unleashes a powerful, flaming punch in the shape of a falcon. The attack sends enemies flying upon contact, but leaves Captain Falcon vulnerable to certain attacks. This attack is very rarely used in competitive situations. Due to the high starting and end lag, it is very predictable and easily punished by experienced players. However, it is an integral part to the Sacred Combo, and is sometimes used in a "hard read" situation.
