Bowser Jr. (SSB4)/Down tilt

Hitbox visualization showing Bowser Jr.'s down tilt.

Overview

A large tongue comes out of the Junior Clown Car's mouth, licking the opponent. The attack hits three times: 1.5% twice and another time for 5%, for a total of 8% if all hits connect. The attack has low knockback, launching the opponent forwards. It has a fair amount of utility, as it is efficient at warding off rushdowns, can act as a set-up for a dash attack, or interfere with an opponent attempting to grab an edge due to its undulating hitbox.
