Forward smash

Line 203:

**Additionally, in ''Ultimate'' it can be combo'd into from his down smash bury, making it one of his best KO options.

*For her forward smash, [[Peach]] is capable of using three different weapons, each of which has different properties. In ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'', it is entirely random which of the three is used for the attack. In ''Smash 4'', the attack cycles from a tennis racket to a golf club to a frying pan, making its use more consistent. In ''Ultimate'', it was changed again to be [[angling|angle]]-dependent (neutral for the golf club, up for the frying pan, down for the tennis racket). [[Daisy]], as her [[Echo Fighter]], inherits those properties for her forward smash.

*[[Little Mac]]'s forward smash is notable for ~~having~~ substantially different animations and functions when angled, unlike most angleable smash attacks. The up-angled variation is a powerful uppercut that acts as an anti-air and strong vertical finisher, the neutral-angled variation is a straight cross that inflicts exceptionally high knockback, and the down-angled variation is a low hook that inflicts low knockback but very high shield damage. Traits common to all three variation are relatively low startup and ending lag. Like Little Mac's other smash attacks, it also has super armor frames during the startup; in ''Ultimate'', [[Special Zoom]] will activate if Little Mac is hit during the armor frames.

*{{SSBB|Wolf}}'s forward smash is by far the longest reaching forward smash in ''Brawl'', covering nearly 1/2 of [[Final Destination]]. Furthermore, due to its range, it hits twice because of the initial hit's low [[angle]] and deceptively fast startup ([[frame]] 10).

**In ''Ultimate'', Wolf has a new forward smash that has been significantly reworked, now being much slower due to having twice as much startup lag (coming out on frame 20 compared to frame 10 in ''Brawl''), as well as less range and only consisting of one hit rather than two. However, it deals much greater damage, allowing it to KO opponents more consistently, while its ending lag was decreased by four frames. Combined with its slower startup, this makes it much safer and more difficult to punish, even being safe on shield if spaced, and due to its low cooldown, it can also be used to bait approaches from the opponent.
