**[[Lucina]] and {{SSBU|Chrom}}, who are clones of Marth and Roy respectively, are different primarily in that they lack these sweetspots (using the weighted average of the sweetspots and sourspots instead). However, Lucina uniquely has a sweetspot on her up tilt, based on the timing of the move rather than the spacing. | **[[Lucina]] and {{SSBU|Chrom}}, who are clones of Marth and Roy respectively, are different primarily in that they lack these sweetspots (using the weighted average of the sweetspots and sourspots instead).

*[[Captain Falcon]]'s [[Knee Smash]] forward aerial in ''Melee'' | *[[Captain Falcon]]'s [[Knee Smash]] forward aerial in ''Melee'' onward. The Knee Smash is one of the strongest aerials in the games it appears in, giving massive knockback when sweet spotted and an [[electric]] effect, but it is extremely weak when sour spotted. The sweet spot is harder to land in ''Brawl'', ''SSB4'' and ''Ultimate'' than in ''Melee'', due to slightly less hitbox duration and the player now having to land a specific hitbox, as the back hitbox of the knee is another sour spot. | ||

Otherwise, they do extremely low knockback and damage. | ||
**In ''Brawl'', Zelda's down aerial was given a similar sweet spot on the tip of her foot, where instead of being an extremely weak [[meteor smash]], it is a very powerful meteor smash with electrical damage and is one of the strongest meteor smashes in ''Brawl'', ''SSB4'' and ''Ultimate''. | **In ''Brawl'', Zelda's down aerial was given a similar sweet spot on the tip of her foot, where instead of being an extremely weak [[meteor smash]], it is a very powerful meteor smash with electrical damage and is one of the strongest meteor smashes in ''Brawl'', ''SSB4'' and ''Ultimate''. | ||
*[[Mario]]'s forward smash in ''Melee'', ''Brawl'', ''SSB4'' and ''Ultimate'' is notable for having a visible sweet spot (the flame that he shoots out of his hand). The sweet spot itself doesn't have a very notable effect, though; it simply just hits with stronger damage and knockback while dealing fire damage. | *[[Mario]]'s forward smash in ''Melee'', ''Brawl'', ''SSB4'' and ''Ultimate'' is notable for having a visible sweet spot (the flame that he shoots out of his hand).

**Additionally, the tennis racket of {{SSBB|Peach}}'s forward smash in ''Brawl'' is normally a very weak attack that can't even KO at 200%. However, if the area hitbox not overlapped by the other hitboxes lands during the middle of the move, it hits opponents away powerfully on a [[semi-spike]] trajectory, and is the strongest semi-spike any character possesses in ''Brawl''. | **Additionally, the tennis racket of {{SSBB|Peach}}'s forward smash in ''Brawl'' is normally a very weak attack that can't even KO at 200%.

*{{SSBB|King Dedede}}'s [[forward smash]] is much stronger if landed after the initial hitboxes, where it hits with extremely powerful knockback, and is the strongest forward smash in ''Brawl'' and on par with {{SSB4|Bowser}}'s in ''SSB4'', as well being one of the strongest forward smashes in ''Ultimate''. | *{{SSBB|King Dedede}}'s [[forward smash]] is much stronger if landed after the initial hitboxes, where it hits with extremely powerful knockback, and is the strongest forward smash in ''Brawl'' and on par with {{SSB4|Bowser}}'s in ''SSB4'', as well being one of the strongest forward smashes in ''Ultimate''. | ||

**Wolf's up smash is another move with a notable sweet spot. Normally, the move hits opponents vertically with average knockback for a smash attack. However, if the opponent touches a small hitbox on Wolf's body instead of his legs during the second hit of the move, they are hit with significantly stronger horizontal knockback (which is also the strongest attack in Wolf's moveset). | **Wolf's up smash is another move with a notable sweet spot.

*The end part of [[Zero Suit Samus]]' [[side special move]], [[Plasma Whip]], has a visible and powerful fire-imbued sweet spot. It is also one of the easiest to hit with, as the whip will often push opponents into the sweet spot. | *The end part of [[Zero Suit Samus]]' [[side special move]], [[Plasma Whip]], has a visible and powerful fire-imbued sweet spot.
