This attack hits above Samus at the beginning and in front of her at the end. It has decent [[range]] both above and in front of Samus and it even has some range behind Samus. | ||
The move in general is very slow, however, with high [[startup]] and [[ending lag]]. The early hit comes out on frame 8 which is not too slow but the late hit does not come out until frame 25, which is incredibly slow for a tilt attack. Its very high startup lag means that the move can easily be avoided on reaction and the opponent can punish Samus during its startup. To make matters worse, the move has a clean hit and a late hit rather than two different sets of hitboxes so if the Samus player connects the first hit, they cannot land the second hit at all. The early hit is unsafe on shield and it is even punishable on hit until high percents, making it detrimental to hit. This also means that while the move can be used as an anti-air, it is completely useless for this purpose, as Samus can be punished for landing it. The second hit is stronger and more rewarding but its knockback isn't even that strong for an up tilt, especially considering is abysmal speed. The second hit does give Samus a decent amount of frame advantage on shield but it isn't quite extreme enough to lead into Samus strong shield pressure and its slow speed means that the opponent can avoid shielding it in the first place. | The move in general is very slow, however, with high [[startup]] and [[ending lag]].
