Overview

Isabelle swings a candy umbrella in front of her. With decent horizontal reach and eight frame startup, it's a solid spacing option. Its vertically wide hitboxes also allows it to two frame recovering opponents and punish ledge hangs, giving it edgeguarding utility.

While identical to Villager's forward tilt in terms of startup, hitboxes, and damage, Isabelle's stands out for being a stronger kill option; it launches at a lower launch angle and has significantly higher knockback scaling, being able to KO middleweights around 130% near the edge without any rage, while Villager's struggles to KO at all until damages beyond 200%. However, the move also has three more frames of endlag and worse safety on shield as a result, making it a move with both higher reward and higher risk.

For a shielding opponent, Isabelle's Down tilt is a better option.
