**In Bayonetta's case, her forward aerial in ''Smash 4'' was often considered one of the best forward aerials in the game due to the first hit's large hitboxes and low lag allowing it to easily hit opponents and combo into various other moves (including [[After Burner Kick]] and [[Witch Twist]] to start [[ladder combo]]s), as well as loop into itself to drag opponents offstage. In ''Ultimate'', however, it has been significantly [[nerf]]ed, possessing smaller hitboxes and much more lag that removes all of the first hit's followups aside from the next hits of the natural combo. | **In Bayonetta's case, her forward aerial in ''Smash 4'' was often considered one of the best forward aerials in the game due to the first hit's large hitboxes and low lag allowing it to easily hit opponents and combo into various other moves (including [[After Burner Kick]] and [[Witch Twist]] to start [[ladder combo]]s), as well as loop into itself to drag opponents offstage.

*{{SSBU|Simon}} and {{SSBU|Richter}}'s forward aerials have two unique distinctions from every other in the series: they can be [[Angling|angled]] up or down much like [[forward tilt]]s and [[forward smash]]es, and function as [[tether recoveries]]. Their [[back aerial]]s also have these properties. | *{{SSBU|Simon}} and {{SSBU|Richter}}'s forward aerials have two unique distinctions from every other in the series: they can be [[Angling|angled]] up or down much like [[forward tilt]]s and [[forward smash]]es, and function as [[tether recoveries]].

*{{SSBU|Steve}}'s forward aerial is the only one which changes depending on whether it is performed using the short hop aerial shortcut in ''Ultimate'' or not. It is a more powerful pickaxe swing in front of him if performed without the short hop aerial shortcut, but becomes a faster and weaker sword swing with similar properties to [[neutral aerial]] if performed with the short hop aerial shortcut. This property is shared with [[back aerial]]. | *{{SSBU|Steve}}'s forward aerial is the only one which changes depending on whether it is performed using the short hop aerial shortcut in ''Ultimate'' or not.

*[[Captain Falcon]]'s forward aerial from ''Melee'' onward, the famed [[Knee Smash]], deals very high damage and knockback with its clean hit. It is the strongest forward aerial in each game it features in (except in ''Brawl'' where [[Zelda]]'s is stronger). It is considered more useful in ''Melee'' than in later games, due to the former possessing the ability to [[L-cancel]] and more favorable sweetspot placements and superior frame data for the move. | *[[Captain Falcon]]'s forward aerial from ''Melee'' onward, the famed [[Knee Smash]], deals very high damage and knockback with its clean hit.
