Overview

Mario throws an overhand clobber. Due to having a meteor smash hitbox, this move is not practical for edgeguarding due to the existence of meteor canceling. Additionally, while the move has no sourspot, the high starting and end lag makes the move predictable and easy to punish. However, the move can situationally be used near the bottom blast zone for gimping the opponent with a slow recovery such as fox or combo into Mario’s up smash.
