Wario (SSB4)/Forward smash

Hitbox visualization showing Wario's forward smash.

Overview

Wario leans back greatly, then delivers a giant backhanded punch. The slow speed in both startup and endlag makes this move very rarely seen outside of hard reads, especially as it has poor range for its speed and power, being slightly less than his forward tilt. It moves Wario's hurtboxes backwards by a fair amount, making it useful to get opponents to whiff a move they otherwise would've hit. It is also disjointed, due to the lack of a hurtbox on the fist, although his arm still is extended for a while, allowing opponents to hit it, making the move a very double-edged sword.
