Falco (SSB4)/Side special/Default: Difference between revisions

Falco dashes forward at a quick speed, leaving behind afterimages. The move is primarily used as a horizontal recovery move, and is a bit faster and reaches farther than [[SSB4|Fox]]'s variant of the move. The aerial version is also capable of [[meteor]]ing aerial opponents, at the cost of doing 1% less damage, making it somewhat risky to edgeguard if the opponent is careless. By holding down while the attack goes to a ledge, Falco can prevent himself grabbing the ledge while the hitbox of Phantasm stays out, potentially spiking opponents trying to recover. The move is also used as an escape option from pressuring, usually by jumping then using side b, as it has very low landing lag, and in general is less laggy than grounded Phantasm, making it difficult to punish from afar. The move props grounded opponents upwards, allowing Falco to score combos off of it sometimes.
