10 Most Powerful Knockouts In Gaming History
2. Super Smash Bros. - FALCON PUUUUNCH!!!
Now we come a knockout blow every Nintendo fan is sure to be familiar with. Captain Falcon got his start on the SNES with F-Zero, which spawned a franchise Nintendo is now unsure what to do with. The protagonist at its centre now makes a greater impact in the Super Smash Bros franchise.
All of a sudden, this unassuming racer became far more well-known outside of his main franchise and has appeared in each entry of Nintendo's fighter ever since. The captain's signature move has also carried over; the Falcon Punch, which stands out far more than the rest of his special attacks.
It takes a short wind-up and a titular exclamation from the man himself, but it still stands as one of the most iconic moves in the game, sending your opponents flying off the screen. Unbelievably satisfying to pull off, many play Captain Falcon for this reason alone.
It's been in every Super Smash Bros game and you know what it means when it connects. With Super Smash Bros Ultimate it comes in two flavours; the falcon dash punch which is far weaker and the mighty falcon punch, which is the perfect cap off to a flurry of combos on your opponent.
