This is a perfectly executed Death Blast Obfuscated Laser (DBOL). Look at Falco's percent go from 25->27.
DBOL masks the sound and visual of one (or more) lasers with the animation triggered by dying off the side.

Also the best way for falco and fox to avoid any offstage lasers is to hold your reflector. You won't waste your shield and it's practically impossible for any lasers to hit you while in shine. Shine reflects projectiles from frame 4 onward.
Player Spotlight: Kevbot, for placing 5th at No Jawns as the 14th seed, beating K8A, Dawson, and Khryke!
Honorable Mention: Eddy Mexico, for placing 4th at Saving Mr. Lombardi as the 11th seed, beating NOOT, Kürv, and Steech!
