Overview

A fairly tall and long reaching axe-kick that serves as one of Samus's most versatile grounded moves. This attack has different properties against airborne and grounded opponents: against the former it launches them away at a low-horizontal angle, making it an effective KO and edgeguarding tool; against the latter it is a Meteor Smash, easily combo'ing into her Smash Attacks and Neutral Air at various percents. With decent vertical and horizontal reach it makes for a good (albeit somewhat slow) poke and a moderately effective anti-air. It can also reach through some low side-platforms, such as on Fountain of Dreams and Yoshi's Story, giving it some niche applications for platform tech chasing.
