Mr. Game & Watch (SSBB)/Forward aerial

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

Overview

Mr Game and Watch pulls out a box and attacks with it; the move comes out on frame 10, which is decent, and the move has a sweetspot that is pretty powerful, dealing 16% and being able to take stocks, and the move also has a sourspot that lasts for a very long time, nearly half a second, making it a good tool for edgeguarding. While the move's range is not amazing, it is disjointed so there's that.

However, the move doesn't have a late autocancel window, meaning Game and Watch can't short hop autocancel with this move, and the move also has 22 frames of landing lag which is pretty high, making it punishable. These are pretty minor weaknesses for an overall good edgeguarding option.
