Piranha Plant (SSBU)/Neutral attack/Hit 3

Hitbox visualization showing Piranha Plant's jab 3.

Overview

Piranha Plant performs a headbutt. It has low damage and knockback, and puts the opponent into tumble at quite early percents, and combined with the low knockback angle at early percents gives it unique use for tech chases or performing jablocks. At higher percents, it possesses no notable kill power whatsoever, but due to the lower angle, it can put the opponent at a slightly worse position for edgeguards. The low endlag of the move also makes it somewhat safe on shield, being -13. This gives the move some use in scouting out of shield options. The move has somewhat low range, only slightly outranging jab 2.
