**Furthermore, the first hit of Link's forward smash in ''Ultimate'' is capable of launching a unique sword beam projectile when Link is at 0%. This projectile travels quickly over a long distance, and its size and damage output are greatly increased by charging the attack. It also substantially increases the damage output of the attack when used at close range. | **Furthermore, the first hit of Link's forward smash in ''Ultimate'' is capable of launching a unique sword beam projectile when Link is at 0%.

*[[Mega Man]], [[Olimar]], and [[Villager]]'s forward smashes, as well as Link's aforementioned ''Ultimate'' sword beam, are the only four forward smashes which are [[projectile]]s. Of those two, Mega Man and Link's projectiles are the only projectiles to increase in hitbox size as the attack is charged. Villager's is one of the only projectiles that fall downwards instead of traveling forwards. [[Mii Gunner]]'s forward smash may appear to be a projectile, but is technically not, as its shots do not act independently of the Mii Gunner. | *[[Mega Man]], [[Olimar]], and [[Villager]]'s forward smashes, as well as Link's aforementioned ''Ultimate'' sword beam, are the only four forward smashes which are [[projectile]]s.

*For her forward smash, [[Peach]] is capable of using three different weapons, each of which has different properties. In ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'', it is entirely random which of the three is used for the attack. In ''Smash 4'', the attack cycles from a tennis racket to a golf club to a frying pan, making its use more consistent. In ''Ultimate'', it was changed again to be [[angling|angle]]-dependent (neutral for the golf club, up for the frying pan, down for the tennis racket). [[Daisy]], as her [[Echo Fighter]], inherits those properties for her forward smash. | *For her forward smash, [[Peach]] is capable of using three different weapons, each of which has different properties.

*{{SSBB|Wolf}}'s forward smash is by far the longest reaching forward smash in ''Brawl'', covering nearly 1/2 of [[Final Destination]]. Furthermore, due to its range, it hits twice because of the initial hit's low [[angle]] and deceptively fast startup ([[frame]] 10). | *{{SSBB|Wolf}}'s forward smash is by far the longest reaching forward smash in ''Brawl'', covering nearly 1/2 of [[Final Destination]].

*The pattern of the gunshots in [[Duck Hunt]]'s forward smash, as well as the angles at which they launch, are slightly randomized. They will also become spaced further apart, and thereby reach further if the attack is charged. | *The pattern of the gunshots in [[Duck Hunt]]'s forward smash, as well as the angles at which they launch, are slightly randomized.
