Trivia

 * In Super Smash Flash, the sound effect for Rising Falcon is recycled from 3D Pinball for Windows: Space Cadet, which was on most computers at the time due to being packaged with the Windows XP operating system. Specifically, it's the sound of a bumper being struck by the pinball.
 * Rising Falcon is one of three of Lloyd's attacks in SSF2 Beta that take inspiration from his being made into a DLC costume for Mii Swordfighter characters in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, being similar to Power Thrust, one of the Mii Swordfighter's available down specials. The other two attacks to take inspiration from this are his down aerial and Tempest.
