Mr. Game and Watch drops a bomb in front of him, which will then slowly descend before exploding shortly after. The move has several unorthodox properties for a forward aerial: The first hit deals 3% damage and has fixed minimal knockback, rendering it unable to KO at any percentage. After the first hit, the bomb then functions as a projectile, which will either explode after 30 frames or explode before that by colliding with a platform. This explosion deals 12% damage. During the 30 frames it takes for it to explode, the bomb has a hurtbox which will cause it to disappear if it gets hit by any opponent's attack. | Mr. Game and Watch drops a bomb in front of him, which will then slowly descend before exploding shortly after.

Forward aerial's unique attribute lead it to a plethora of uses. Because the bomb's explosion is delayed, catching an opponent with it can lead to several follow-ups at low to mid percents, including attacks such as neutral aerial, grab, up tilt - and in the case that it takes it the full 30 frames to go off - even slower moves like up smash. This can lead to very high damaging combos, some of which can deal as much as 60% damage in total. The delayed explosion can even lead to situations where the move is safe or outright positive on block against an opponent's shield depending on when the bomb went off. Doing so guarantees Mr. Game and Watch grabs against shielding opponents. | Forward aerial's unique attribute lead it to a plethora of uses.
