Overview

Neutral attack functions as a fast, non launching close quarters combat tool. Can be followed up by Down smash at mid to high percents. Notable for being able to chain into itself infinitely when the opponent is pressed against a ledge, as its hit stun allows for Isabelle to walk forward briefly after each jab.

Update History

• Neutral attack deals less knockback (21 base/38 scaling → 14/30), has a lower SDI multiplier (1× → 0.5×) and deals more hitstun (8 frames → 14), allowing it to chain into itself more reliably and making it safer to use.
