Update History

2.0.0

• Rosalina can grab ledges faster after using forward aerial.

3.1.0

• Forward aerial's hits connect more reliably.
• Forward aerial has less ending lag (FAF 60 → 55).
• Rosalina can grab ledges faster after using forward aerial (84 frames → 79).

10.1.0

• Forward aerial has received various adjustments that allow the move to connect more reliably:
  • The first hit has been split into ground-only and aerial-only hitboxes, with the aerial-only hitbox having less base knockback (90 → 50).
  • Two of the looping hits' hitboxes (ID 2 and 3) have altered displacements (Y-offset: -3.8—-6.2 → -5.8—-6.2), extend further during the last two frames (X-offset: 1.7—8 → 1.7—10), and now send at an autolink angle throughout their entirety (115° (frames 11-18)/36 (frames 19-20) → 366° (frames 11-20)).
  • Three of the looping hits' hitboxes (ID 2, 3 and 4) have less base knockback (36/36/72 → 20/20/60).
  • One of the looping hits' hitboxes is smaller (ID 1: 4.0u → 3.5u). While this technically reduces the move's range close to Rosalina, it allows the hitboxes with the autolink angles to connect more consistently.
  • The final hit is larger (8.0u → 9.0u).

Luma

If Luma has been separated via Luma Shot, the hitboxes have their damage multiplied by 1.5×, which is ignored for knockback calculation.
