Overview

Dr. Mario punches downwards in front of him. It lasts for 6 frames, with the first and last frame being an early and late hit respectively. When hit cleanly, it's one of the strongest forward aerials in the game due to its excellent damage and knockback. However, the early and late hits are significantly weaker, and while their duration is shorter, making them harder to land, they are not fit for KOing and the attack has too much ending lag to combo and cannot autocancel in a short hop.
