Marth (SSBM)/Forward aerial

Overview

Hitbox range over time

Hitbox duration of Marth's fair.

Marth does a forward vertical slash. One of the very versatile moves that Marth commonly uses in his metagame. This move is very safe to use, having little lag, being disjointed, and excellent for spacing. Also an extremely good edgeguarding move, as a few forward aerial hits on an opponent offstage can easily KO. With its low knockback, it also has incredible combo ability, easily being able to chain into itelf and other moves, and being used in many of Marth's combos such as the Ken Combo.
