Peach (SSBM)/Forward aerial

Overview

Hitbox duration of Peach's forward aerial.

Peach takes her crown off her head and swings it in a wide arc in front of her. This attack has high base knockback, enough to cause tumble at 0% even against the heavyweight characters. Combined with having no sourspot or weaker late hit, it is useful for breaking through crouch cancels and gimping the opponent offstage at relatively low percents. It has the most reach of her aerials but also the slowest startup and recovery frames. It is more likely to be interrupted by faster attacks or leave her vulnerable when it misses. Therefore, her forward air is most useful when float cancelled and can be used as a combo finisher or powerful edgeguarding tool if timed correctly. Due to having lower knockback growth, Forward Aerial is outpaced in KO power by a clean hit of Neutral Aerial at higher percents (starting at about 100% for an opponent of 80 weight.
