Bowser Jr. (SSB4)/Forward aerial

Hitbox visualization showing Bowser Jr.'s forward aerial.

Hitbox visualization showing Bowser Jr.'s forward aerial's landing.

Overview

The Junior Clown Car swings a wrecking ball forward in a circling motion. Landing while the wrecking ball is still out produces another hitbox, which can lead to more follow-ups on the ground, as well as compensate for its high landing lag. Useful for edge-guarding and spacing. It deals 11% if cleaned, which is a viable KOing option.
