A '''forward smash''', abbreviated '''f-smash''' and officially known as a '''side smash attack''' ({{ja|横スマッシュ攻撃|Yoko sumasshu kōgeki}}), is a [[smash attack]] that any character can perform by tapping the [[control stick]] in a horizontal direction and pressing the attack button immediately afterward or simultaneously, or by tilting the [[C-Stick]] in a horizontal direction (except in ''Melee''{{'}}s single-player modes). Forward smashes typically are strong strikes with a large hitbox directly in front of the character, sometimes shifting them forward a significant distance as well. Some characters even have forward smashes that contain super armor under certain conditions. Starting in ''Melee'', forward smashes can be [[charge]]d for a maximum of one second (or 60 [[frame]]s), resulting in up to 1.4× the [[damage]] and [[knockback]]. In ''Ultimate'', with some exceptions, they can be held for an additional two seconds (120 frames) upon reaching full charge. | A '''forward smash''', abbreviated '''f-smash''' and officially known as a '''side smash attack''' ({{ja|横スマッシュ攻撃|Yoko sumasshu kōgeki}}), is a [[smash attack]] that any character can perform by tapping the [[control stick]] in a horizontal direction and pressing the attack button immediately afterward or simultaneously, or by tilting the [[C-Stick]] in a horizontal direction (except in ''Melee''{{'}}s single-player modes).

After tapping the control stick forwards, there is a 3-frame window wherein a forward smash can be performed. If the attack button is pressed too late, a [[dash attack]] will be performed instead. Pressing the attack button on the last possible frame results in a [[small step forward smash]]. In all games except ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', forward smashes can be [[pivot]]ed. | After tapping the control stick forwards, there is a 3-frame window wherein a forward smash can be performed.
