Though powerful, the move is slow and difficult to land, which makes it easy to avoid without a hard read. The hitboxes take a half-second to come out, and the sweetspot is only active for one frame and only covers the center of Ridley's tail barb, requiring rather precise positioning to land. The sourspot deals pitiful damage in comparison, and is rather useless and often punishable. Additionally, a notable issue with the attack is that the sweetspot allows the opponent to act slightly earlier than Ridley, meaning that Ridley will often need to read the opponent's getup option to get a meaningful follow up afterwards. | Though powerful, the move is slow and difficult to land, which makes it easy to avoid without a hard read.

The attack deals negligible shield damage even when sweetspotted, meaning an opponent can shield the attack with little penalty. The move is also classified as a grab, meaning it is impossible to follow up with this move from a throw, due to regrab immunity. However, the move has marginally faster startup compared to other powerful and slow moves, such as [[Warlock Punch]], and Ridley can sometimes land the attack by successfully [[tech chase|tech chasing]] the opponent | The attack deals negligible shield damage even when sweetspotted, meaning an opponent can shield the attack with little penalty.

Overall, Skewer rarely sees use in professional settings due to the extreme risk and commitment that comes with using it. However, it does occasionally see use in hard read and tech chase situations, | Overall, Skewer rarely sees use in professional settings due to the extreme risk and commitment that comes with using it.
