Overview

Samus punches forwards with her arm cannon. With decent range, solid knockback, and fairly average startup and endlag, this is one of Samus's most reliable KO options. Can be combo'd into from several moves, such as up tilt, forward air, and down air. A simple to use option that does what you'd expect a Forward Smash to do.
