Overview

Somersaults to strike with its tail. Like forward tilt, its sweetspot is at the tip of Charizard's tail and has a flame effect. It has the second lowest amount of start-up lag out of Charizard's aerials, can auto-cancel with a short hop, and is tied with up aerial for having the lowest amount of landing lag out of Charizard's aerials. All of these traits make it a useful approach option. However, its average knockback growth makes it Charizard's most ineffective aerial in regard to KOing, as its sweetspot does not KO middleweights until 156% while near the left/right blast lines.
