Overview

A spinning roundhouse kick. It's one of the fastest forward tilts in the game, coming out on frame 5, with the hitbox lasting until frame 8 and having only 15 frames of ending lag (FAF 24), yet it has decent range and good power, giving it KO potential at high percents near the ledge. A powerful punish option. The tip of Kirby's foot is a sourspot that deals 1% less damage, although it's outprioritized by the other hitboxes.

Update History

2.0.0

• Forward tilt has increased base knockback and reduced ending lag (frame 28 → 24). This improves its safety as a spacing tool, and even allows it to KO at higher percents.
