Falling speed

Falling speed, also referred to as terminal velocity, is the rate at which a character can move downward in midair in Super Smash Flash 2 and Fraymakers. Falling speed can greatly impact a character's fighting style and are often categorized as such; characters with high falling speeds are referred to as fast-fallers, whereas those with low falling speeds are referred to as floaty.
A character's falling speed can have certain advantages and disadvantages based on their playstyle. For instance, fast-fallers are able to return to the ground more quickly after short hopping at the cost of recovering being more difficult, and floaty characters can often perform aerial combos more easily while conversely being more vulnerable to juggling. Additionally, falling speed affects the vertical component of attacks' knockback, as gravity will slow upward knockback until the character reaches their falling speed. Thus, attacks that launch upwards will have a greater effect on floaty characters, whereas fast-fallers will be more hampered by attacks with lower knockback angles.
While falling, players can fast fall at any time to increase their falling speed, though they will be unable to return to their normal falling speed before landing, jumping, using certain attacks, or flinching, as well as airdashing in Fraymakers.
Although falling speed itself exists in the original Super Smash Flash, it does not differ between characters.
