Overview[edit]

Update History[edit]

3.1.0

• Neutral attack 1 and 2 can be canceled into a special move for a longer amount of time.
• Neutral attack (heavy, close) deals drastically less knockback (70 base/70 scaling → 25/15) and sends at a slightly more horizontal angle (85° → 80°), making it a much better combo starter even at high percents.
• Neutral attack (heavy, far)'s second hit deals more damage (6% → 10%) with knockback compensated.

Timing[edit]

For each variant, canceling into a special move or Final Smash is only possible upon hitting an opponent and after hitlag is over.

Tapped[edit]

The move can only transition into the second jab if it hits an opponent; otherwise, pressing the attack button again triggers a consecutive jab.
