Mr. Game & Watch (SSBU)/Forward smash

Overview
Mr. Game & Watch swings a lit torch directly at his opponent, referencing his game Fire Attack. The move has noticeable startup for a forward smash as it comes out on frame 17, but has low ending lag and good range due to its fully disjointed hitbox. Forward smash has a sweetspot at the flame of the torch that is one of the strongest forward smashes in the game, dealing massive damage and knockback while also being safe on shield. The sourspot is located on the torch handle and is significantly weaker but is still potent enough to KO if the opponent is at a very high percent.

What makes this move one of Mr. Game & Watch's best finishers is that it has a setup from his down smash bury which allows Mr. Game & Watch to KO at early percents near the ledge or center-stage if he can land the setup. Overall, a very potent and rewarding move.

 * Oddly enough, the sourspot hitbox has no sound effect set. This was not the case in previous games.
