Power Thrust (パワースラスト, Power Thrust) is one of Mii Swordfighter's alternate down special moves.

Overview

When used, the Swordfighter lunges forward with their blade extended. The airborne variant launches the Swordfighter downward at an angle which is good for ambushing opponents from the air, similar to Wizard's Foot in the air. The tip of the sword deals more damage, much like the majority of Marth's attacks. Due to the move's nature, it is similar to the Falcon Kick but is comparatively quicker, has a disjointed hitbox, and sends at a lower angle. Thanks to sending the Swordfighter downward at high speed and having a strong landing hit, it can be used as landing option, but its high landing lag makes it punishable on shield.

In Ultimate, the move was heavily buffed, with all its grounded hitboxes doing more damage and knockback, and the tipper hitboxes taking priority, thus making it much better at KOing. The aerial landing hitbox has significantly higher knockback growth (120 instead of 20), thus causing it to KO much earlier (around 105% at the edge of Final Destination). A grounded Power Thrust also stops at ledge, preventing accidental interactions.
