Mario (SSBM)/Forward smash

Overview
Mario rears back and thrusts his palm forwards, producing a decently-sized burst of flame and dealing flame damage to anyone it connects with. It is the 13th most powerful forward smash in Melee, and relatively quick. However, its range is somewhat subpar, and connecting with the sourspot on Mario's arm results in much weaker knockback. It can be angled up or down, and when fully charged, sweetspotted, and angled up, can KO at 72%. The sweetspot has transcendental priority.
