The Gazelle Punch allows Little Mac to perform surprise comebacks from what is usually a very bad position: the KO Uppercut goes through shields and has a few frames of super armor, which can be used against certain edgeguarding options such as shielding or charging an attack. Its downsides are its risk: besides the obvious requirement of needing a KO Uppercut while at the disadvantageous position of the ledge, performing it incorrectly will either result in the KO Uppercut registering as airborne (which is much weaker, lacks super armor and does not go through shields), or cause Little Mac to miss the stage and fall to his death. | The Gazelle Punch allows Little Mac to perform surprise comebacks from what is usually a very bad position: the KO Uppercut goes through shields and has a few frames of super armor, which can be used against certain edgeguarding options such as shielding or charging an attack.
