Wario (SSB4)/Back aerial

Hitbox visualization showing Wario's back aerial.

Overview

Wario thrusts his head backwards. It has the strongest knockback of all his aerials, and is one of his main killing and edgeguarding moves outside of waft, and is also able to short hop autocancel. Despite this, the move is rather lackluster overall, as the kill power is rather weak, the hitbox doesn't cover the head fully, it has high endlag, and the most strangest weakness is due to Wario's hurtbox protruding a fair distance due to the animation. This makes it significantly easier to hit Wario, combined with the fact his head hurtbox also expands during the hitbox frames. It also possesses the highest landing lag out of all his aerials, at 27 frames.
