Sorry, I am new here, and I don't know if anybody has found this yet (Tried searching), but when I was playing brawl (Don't own a wii yet though), but after fighting the alloys in the stadium using meta knight (And just barley getting the requirements for most of the awards that my friend needed), I decided to swich to falcon on a whim.
When I got the beamsword, I noticed after forward smashing (Which is really just a stab) you could combo it to an overhead slash (Only during the smash) that has a hit arc a little over 90 degrees. I don't think this would effect tournament play as items would most likley be off, but this made me nearly invulnerable for the alloy matches (Unless you accidently hit a bob-bomb or something that spawned suddenly which has happened to me numerous times right when i'm about to get the record). I am also wondering if any other characters have this ability, as I found out about this ability before I had to leave.

Yeah Falcon did the same thing in Melee with the Beam Sword (and also with the Homerun Bat which sucked). In this game it's a much better feature since the Beam Sword gets so long when smashed. Thankfully they changed his Homerun Bat swing to a normal one though.

I haven't played with items on in Brawl at all pretty much, but I know there are other items that have the same feature. The Fan is one I believe as well as the Star Rod (which shoots 4 stars instead of 1).

Oh yeah, I noticed that. Falcon is amazing with the Beam Sword in my opinion. The first thrust has loooooooonng range, and the overhead swing is just as deadly. I usually have a bit of trouble with the alloys when they swarm me, but once a beamsword comes out, the alloys all go flying into space in seconds, lol!

In an actual fight with players, Falcon's beamsword is very awesome. Combined with his speed and fast B-moves like Falcon Kick, he's a real menace with that sword. Then again, without the sword, Captain Falcon's plain awesome, lol.
