Overview

A palm strike accompanied with an explosion at the end of the attack. The fire explosion possesses a disjointed sweetspot hitbox with deceptive power for it’s speed, capable of KOing most characters reliably at 70% near the ledge, it also possesses a sourspot on Mario’s arm which while noticeably weaker than the sweetspot, still possesses respectable power and can reliably KO at 100% near the ledge. It can also be angled up and down, with the up angled makes it a solid anti air option and the down angled can 2 frame effectively. Additionally, Mario's hurtbox shifts back before the attack, making it useful as a dodge in certain scenarios.
