BAir and FAir both hit for the same percent: 20% on sweetspot, and 10% on sourspot. Sweetspot is only possible on the largest end hitbox (blue). Both BAir and FAir sweetspot hitboxes are the same size. As the name “lightning kick” implies, Sweetspot applies an electric shock effect. Both kicks are only active for 4 frames. On the surface, back air and forward air seem identical – however, they have subtle differences. Review the data below to start understanding the key differences between them.
Back Air:
Back Air comes out at frame 5, and ends at frame 8. Note the first hit is a perfect circle, and all angles are equal. The final hitbox on frame 8 tilts up from 45 degree launch closer to 60 degrees. The hitbox within Zelda’s body (green, ID 0) also completely swaps launch directions on frames 7 and 8.
