Overview

Does a quick backhand punch from behind. Good power and speed, often used as an edgeguarding move. Weak if the opponent is hit late in the attack. The move deals 14% if cleaned and 8% if late. Due to its reasonable speed, large hitbox, and relative safety on shield, this move is a common spacing option that can be threatening against opponents expecting grab or his neutral air.
