Update History

10.1.0

• Aerial Spin Attack has received various adjustments that allow the move to connect more reliably:
  • The first front hit has a new hitbox that outprioritizes the old hitbox and is smaller (size: 6u → 4u) but has similar range (Y-offset: 7.5 → 5.5, Z-offset: 10.5—8.5 → 11.5—7.5), sends at a vertical angle (367° → 80°) and has more set knockback (107 → 110). This sends opponents higher, setting them up for the following hits.
  • The first front hit's pre-existing hitbox no longer sends at an autolink angle (367° → 80°), but has less set knockback (107 → 76).
  • The third front hit no longer sends at an autolink angle (367° → 65°), but has less set knockback (107 → 70).
  • The fourth front hit has a new hitbox that outprioritizes the old hitbox and is smaller (size: 6.5u → 4u), positioned differently (Y-offset: 9.5—8.5 → 9—6, Z-offset: 10.5—8.5 → 5.5—7), sends at a more vertical angle (70° → 74°) and has less set knockback (72 → 60). This sets them up for the final hit.
  • The fourth front hit's pre-existing hitbox sends at an altered angle (70° → 98°) and has less set knockback (72 → 62).

Hitboxes

Grounded

The hitboxes' damage can be multiplied by up to 1.6× depending on the move's charge, for a maximum of 20.8% total. More specifically, the damage multiplier is equal to 1 + 0.6 * (charge frames / 60).
