However, the move doesn't offer any protection on the sides, which allows most characters to edgeguard K. Rool by attempting to stage spike him with a back aerial or other moves; while this can be mitigated by [[teching]], it is susceptible to player error and leaves no protection against untechable stage spikes (although his weight and [[LSI]] make this less troublesome, with moves like {{SSBU|Corrin}}'s [[back aerial]] only becoming untechable at 227.5%). The propeller also doesn't clash with projectiles and items, which makes moves like [[Mega Man]]'s down aerial, [[Villager]]'s forward smash, [[Vegetable]] and even his own [[Crownerang|crown]] very effective at gimping him. Additionally, meteor smashes with long disjoints, such as [[Ganondorf]]'s and especially [[Ivysaur]]'s down aerial, can ignore the propeller hitbox and spike K. Rool through it, although in many cases it does require precise spacing. Overall, this move grants King K. Rool outstanding survivability and flexibility in his edgeguarding, but it can also be readily exploited by many characters, which requires him in return to be very careful when being edgeguarded himself. | However, the move doesn't offer any protection on the sides, which allows most characters to edgeguard K.

The propeller hitbox usually clips though the stage, which can be useful in deterring 2-frame edgeguard attempts. If an opponent is hit by the propeller at the ledge, K. Rool can follow up with an aerial; although he doesn't get any true combos out of this at lower percentages, he can usually take advantages of frame traps and tech chases to follow up with a forward, back or up aerial. However, at higher percentages, up aerial can be true and even score a KO. However, this can being prevented simply by shielding, or even using buff inducing counters such as [[Revenge]] and [[Rebel's Guard]]. To increase the consistency of Propellerpack sniping the ledge, the K. Rool player can hold down to force the move to not ledgesnap. By holding this back until the last moment where it is possible to ledgesnap, it can effectively increase the range of the move. Propellerpack also has an unusual hitbox, with it being specifically situated on the left propeller. Due to this, the move is notoriously inconsistent regarding whether a move will beat it or not. The range differences can be taken advantage of through the prior technique as well as swerving, increasing ledgesnap consistency further. | |||
