Update History

2.0.0

• Reduced hitlag on neutral air, allowing it to execute faster.

7.0.0

• Neutral aerial's last hit deals less knockback (30 base/180 scaling → 35/155). While this slightly improves its combo potential at low percents, it more drastically hinders its KO potential at high percents.
• Neutral aerial's last hit has a smaller hitbox against aerial opponents (11.5u → 9.8u).
• Neutral aerial's penultimate hit inflicts 13 less frames of hitstun, worsening the move's drag-down setups and removing its infinites against certain opponents on platforms (such as Ridley).
