I was messing around with Falcon and did this. Could it be viable as a kill-confirm? You need to be up-close to pull it off, but the sour spot of the knee could maybe combo into something else.

It could be a mixup, but the Raptor Boost buffs from patch v8.0.0 make it more viable to use at close range than UTilt -> Knee because initiating Raptor Boost first can now lead to true combos such as Side B -> Uair -> Knee. It seems like you have to space the up tilt at close range in order to be able to hit the knee, but Raptor boost is a much more reliable option.

Up air chains off of Raptor boost and ending with a knee is all a true combo on Battlefield stages. The new launch angle that Raptor Boost sends opponents means more reliable combo and kill setups because of the lower angle it sends.
