Duck Hunt (SSBU)/Forward smash

Hitbox visualization showing Duck Hunt's forward smash.

Update History

10.1.0

• FSmash's first two hits have lower hitlag (x1.0 (both) → x0.75 (hit 1)/x0.5 (hit 2)) and the second hit has a lower angle (45° → 30°) and lower base fixed knockback (70 → 60). These changes allow the move to connect more reliably.

Hitboxes

The reticles are placed farther the more the smash attack is charged, with a maximum displacement multiplier of 1.3×.

Trivia

• Due to a glitch, the frame timer for the reticles before their hitbox appears activates twice if the gameplay speed is altered (such as in Training mode), causing each reticle to hit an additional time and significantly increasing the move's damage output. This quirk is also present in Duck Hunt's other smash attacks.
