Duck Hunt (SSB4)/Dash attack

Hitbox visualization showing Duck Hunt's dash attack.

Overview

The bird pecks ahead as the dog dives forward, dealing 10% with a clean hit and 7% if the impact is late. Noticeable endlag, but generally useful due to its deceptively large hitbox. Normally, if Duck Hunt uses this attack on his own Trick Shot, the can will be propelled diagonally forward, which has its obvious advantages, but it can also be intentionally sent careening behind the duo if the player times the collision properly by striking the can as close as possible to the pair's body, a technique that can take opponents by surprise.
