Sonic (SSBU)/Forward smash: Difference between revisions

The Wind-Up Punch from Sonic the Fighters. It has high knockback growth, deceptive range (outspacing spacing most forward smashes), and can be angled, all of which make it one of Sonic's most viable KOing options and can be used to two-frame opponents at the ledge when angled downward. Sonic's [[hurtbox]] extends only to his wrist when performing the move, making it somewhat disjointed. Because of this disjointed range, it can clank with most projectiles, and beat out many non-disjointed moves. It is also relatively safe on shield when spaced. However, its very low base knockback makes it better suited for KO attempts later instead of earlier. Like most forward smashes, it also has noticeable start-up and ending lag, making it risky if used unwisely.
