*{{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]].

*The forward aerials of [[Villager]], [[Mii Gunner]], and [[Isabelle]] are [[projectile]]s, and as such, can be [[reflect]]ed or [[Pocket]]ed, as well as [[absorb]]ed in the case of Mii Gunner. | *The forward aerials of [[Villager]], [[Mii Gunner]], and [[Isabelle]] are [[projectile]]s, and as such, can be [[reflect]]ed or [[Pocket]]ed, as well as [[absorb]]ed in the case of Mii Gunner. | ||

It is strongest forward aerial in each game it is featured 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. | ||
*[[Zelda]]'s forward aerial is one of her [[Lightning Kick]]s, and deals very high damage and knockback at high percents when [[Sweet spot (hitbox)|sweetspotted]], but is extremely weak when sourspotted. Much like Captain Falcon's Knee Smash, it is particularly powerful in ''Melee'', but its utility has been reduced in later games due to the removal of L-canceling, as well as receiving much more ending lag and a less favorable [[auto-cancel]] window starting in ''Smash 4''. | *[[Zelda]]'s forward aerial is one of her [[Lightning Kick]]s, and deals very high damage and knockback at high percents when [[Sweet spot (hitbox)|sweetspotted]], but is extremely weak when sourspotted.

*[[Marth]]'s forward aerial is considered one of the best in ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'', due to its low lag all around, long range with a wide arc, and edgeguarding capabilities. Starting in ''Smash 4'', however, it was drastically nerfed by receiving more lag (starting, ending and landing) and a shorter hitbox duration, no longer being as safe to use upon landing or if untippered against shields. | *[[Marth]]'s forward aerial is considered one of the best in ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'', due to its low lag all around, long range with a wide arc, and edgeguarding capabilities.
