Hey everyone! I'm new to the forums, so I'm sorry if the formatting is a bit "blah". Anyway, let's get straight into it:

(*Because the hits were done at the approximate middle, percentages are approximate as well.)
(**All hits were dealt to Chrom in Training Mode.)

(Both aerial and grounded are same percents for both punches)

Uair:
- Close hit: 193%

The percentages may be off slightly, but I hope this narrows it down for every other Falcon main out there!
(Note: I tested this on a Medium weight character only. I plan on testing the other weights later.)​

Falcon Punch kills at 49%? And reverse at 39%? Landing FP will be phenomenal

Reverse Falcon punch is legit. Many people haven't learned the reverse B tech yet so I'm catching many by surprise this way.

Funnily enough, when I originally posted this I completely forgot about Bair as well lol just updated it for Dash attack; thanks for pointing that out!

No problem. I feel like it might also help to mention the kill %s on different parts of the stage for non-vertical moves (For example, I’m not sure when a tech chase -> Dash Attack would start killing and it seems like a strong option since I can’t dash Grab off of it usually), but this guide is still really good.

Should I add info about the edges of Final Destination as well?

I've killed between 126 and 135 with gentlemans at the edge and I thought it was just bad DI wow.
