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 / 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.
