As shown in the examples above, the sour spot of an attack can sometimes be more desirable to use than the sweet spot. Usually, this is due to a sour spot having somewhat bizarre, surprising knockback properties when compared to the sweet spot, as is the case with Mr. Game & Watch. The sour spot of an attack may also feature minimal knockback, which, provided the attack isn't extremely laggy, can allow a character to combo into different attacks, such as with [[Captain Falcon]]'s [[front air]]. Many of the scenarios where a sour spot can be useful in battle are highly conditional though, usually occurring off-stage. | As shown in the examples above, the sour spot of an attack can sometimes be more desirable to use than the sweet spot.
