Nerds nearly need needy nerdy nerds
Not to mention Zelda's Side-B. Why they decided that that should put her into freefall if used in mid-air shall forever be a mystery.

Absolutely no relation to NLK
Like, you being able to act after a recovery special, or using several of them in a row?
Dopants: He meant what he said and he said what he meant, a Ninety is faithful 100%.
I assume they mean being able to act and attack after using an Up-B, but not being able to use another Up-B until landing or being hit.
Like how Sonic, Mega Man, and Mr. Game and Watch work.
You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!
Surprisingly unstable
Being able to defend oneself during the freefall could make for some unexpected results.
Or even be a weirdo who can up-b to mid air jump. I think Megaman and Bayonetta are the only ones who can do that. But think about a fighter with a much nastier up-air or such could do with that.
I mean, Sonic already can get pretty cheesy KO's from the top of the screen. Removing "helpless fall" could result in half the fighter cast pulling the same shenanigans.
Except Ike, Kirby, and whoever else has an "up, then down" recovery move.

I'm not sure how true that really is, considering how versatile and powerful Mr. Game & Watch's air game is.
Fishbowl~

I'm sorry Tien, but I must go all out.
Would there be any especially overpowered characters if Special Fall was removed? I can imagine Bayonetta becoming really stupid with excessively long combos.
Snow Ghost
Bayonetta doesn't go "helpless" after using her Up Special.
It really wouldn't make much of a difference for anyone.
YO. Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie.
It would make a pretty big difference actually. A lot of moves would suddenly become very safe.
Also, Samus and Wario would have a lot of combo potential if they could follow up after their Up-B's, I think.

Doesn't Bayonetta have Special Fall after her second Up-B?

Nope, she can still attack and stuff freely
I'm sorry Tien, but I must go all out.
Huh. I should really get around to buying the DLC.
Little Mac wouldn't have to worry about Sui-Side B anymore. He and several other characters would benefit from being able to use both Side B and Up B in the same recovery. Meta Knight would probably fly up the tier ladder, literally.
Role Model
Actually, yeah... Why does Jolt Haymaker put him into the helpless state?
The sad, REAL American dichotomy
Because he ain't an air fighter.

Shake it off, son, shake it off.
... Still mad Doc can't interject midfight like the Star Fox crew or Palutena and Viridi.
I sure said that!
Sometimes Doc shouts stuff when Mac taunts.

The Fool
But he doesn't dispense bizarre almost-good advice or any of his signature Ice-Cream Koan lines, he just cheers Mac on in a very general way.
They didn't dub Punch Out at all in Japan so the charm of Doc's quotes was probably lost on them.
Also that game wasn't all that popular over there, either.
The Fool
I can understand the reasons for something and still think those reasons are insufficient excuse.
I sure said that!
They tried at least.
It was a really half assed try, but Doc's even more prominent in Mac's win poses than Chrom is in Robin's, so they definitely recognized how key he is to Mac.
Goddess of Nature
But at least Chrom gets to appear on the battlefield! Even if as a Final Smash.
I know Ike would at least like to use Aether right after a side-b sometimes.
Oh, and recovering high or whiffing an up-b wouldn't be as punishable anymore?
