Captain Falcon's Falcon Punch with darkness effect.
Captain Falcon cocks his arm back, calling "FALCON..., and releases it a half-second later, calling "PUNCH!!!", with his fist is enshrouded with flames in the shape of a falcon. The attack is extremely slow, but powerful; It KOs at low percents, and it's priority is extremely high. Falcon is vulnerable during the initial windup, however.
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Falcon gained the ability to twist at the beginning of the initial charge, aiming the punch in the opposite direction he started, and giving him a defense against those who try to jump or roll behind him. This turning punch also has added power.
Anime

Trivia
- This move has become somewhat of an internet meme, partly due to the way Captain Falcon performs the move, as well as it's high power.
