Fall Speed

Fall Speed is how fast a character moves downward towards the ground in mid-air. A character has two fixed fall speeds: Regular, and fastfall. Fastfall is initiated once you are past the apex of your jump and press downwards, accelerating you quicker downwards, though this difference in regular and fastfall speeds is different on a character to character basis.

In Melee, Falco has the fastest regular and fastfall speeds, at 3.1 and 3.5, and Jigglypuff has the slowest at 1.3 and 1.6 respectively.
