Fire Bird

Fire Bird is 's up special move in Super Smash Flash 2.

Overview
When performed, Falco surrounds himself in blue flames and stops in place. He charges up for a moment and can then launch straight in one of eight directions inputted at the time of launching, dealing 14% damage and somewhat weak knockback to anyone in his path. The move can be useful for recovering both horizontally and vertically, due to the decent distance it covers, though Falco is put in a helpless state afterwards.

The move is very similar in appearance and function to 's Fire Fox, as both moves surround the user in flames and launch them into the air. However, unlike Fire Fox, Fire Bird covers a much shorter distance, cannot deal damage while charging, does not let Falco slide at the end of the move if used on the ground, and has blue flames as opposed to Fire Fox's orange flames.

Trivia

 * Despite being the same color as Fire Fox in the official Super Smash Bros. games, Fire Bird is blue in SSF2. This was done to add visual distinction between Falco and Fox.
