That's Falco's dair. It couldn't have been his uair because:

  1. His dair does 13%, which is the damage that Mario took (140%-153%) after getting hit, while uair does 11%. Even factoring in fractional damage and the freshness bonus, assuming Mario had 140.99% before the hit, and the uair gained the 1.05x freshness multiplier, Mario 's final percentage would have been at most 152.54, which would've been rounded down to display 152.
  2. His uair doesn't have an angle that would meteor smash opponents. It knocks opponents upwards, not downwards.
  3. Dair's hitbox comes out on frame 5, while uair is much slower, coming out on frame 10. Uair couldn't have come out that quickly and hit Mario from above his Super Jump Punch, where the hitbox is.
  4. Pausing the video right before Falco hits clearly (or as clearly with the quality that you're recording) shows him in his "drill" animation for his dair. His uair has a different animation.
