OverviewEdit

A 540 kick. Despite the move's high startup, its ending lag is very low in comparison. The move is very devastating when both hits connect and works as a strong anti-air, this is made more effective with its leg intangibility. However, the move has problems connecting on opponents on a platform above him, and makes the move a lot less effective on opponents circle camping.

Update HistoryEdit

  8.0.0

  •   The second hit has more knockback scaling (72/74/80 → 80/81/88).

  9.0.0

  •   Up smash's first hit has swapped priority for its 12% damage hitboxes, and they deal less knockback (30/8 base/20/10 set → 5/0 base/10/0 set), allowing them to connect more reliably into the second hit, especially against opponents on platforms above Captain Falcon.

TriviaEdit

  • Oddly enough, the first hit's hitbox in front of Captain Falcon has no sound effect or attack type set, unlike the other hitboxes. This discrepancy was not present in previous games.
