Falco (SSB4)/Dash attack

Hitbox visualization showing Falco's dash attack.

Overview

Falco performs a flying kick. It is a very average dash attack, in speed, power and damage. It has minor combo potential due to the angle, although with proper DI, combos can be avoided. The late hit can lead into another dash attack should the opponent miss their tech, due to the lower launch angle. Down throw can also lead into dash attack, however better followups like neutral aerial or back aerial are advised over dash attack, as they provide more reward. It severely lacks kill power, and combined with Falco's slow dash speed, dash attack is not used often in competitive play.
