Mr. Game & Watch (SSBM)/Forward aerial

Hitbox visualization showing Mr. Game & Watch's forward aerial.

Overview

Mr. Game and Watch slams a Boxed Package downwards which references the game, Mario Bros. It is his most used aerial yet and unlike most of his aerials, it can be L-cancelled which makes the move more beneficial. The move is very strong when the sweetspot connects to the opponent, which it can be used as a combo finisher while the sourspot is used as a combo starter or a gimping tool. Both of the sweetspot’s strength and sourspot’s gimping make this move a decent edgeguarding tool for him.
