Hitbox visualization showing Samus's back aerial.

Overview

This article or section may require competitive expertise. You can discuss this issue on the talk page or edit this page to improve it.

Samus turns and kicks behind her. A good spacer, with KO potential if hit at the tiny sweetspot at the edge of her foot. It has potential to combo into an up aerial, more back aerials, and sometimes a Screw Attack if hit at the leg hitbox. It has humongous reach, due to Samus' giant limbs. On certain stages, such as Battlefield, this can be used after an edge drop →wall jump to fight off edgeguarders.
