Have you guys noticed that you can slightly change the direction of characters' forward smashes and forward tilts? Does anyone actually consciously do this? What's the point?

I think there's been a topic about this before, but yeah it's useful... in particular I use it with Mario and Samus, usually when edge guarding.

do you angle them like jiggly and link's B (B first U/D later) or is there some difficult input?

Isai uses Samus's upwards angled Fsmash on Yoshi's shield a lot, I'm not sure why though.
And the input is similar to the boomerang, but slightly more difficult because you're smashing the stick and the input has to be very fast.

i dont think 'your an idiot then lol' qualifies as abusive
Actually it does, its verbal abuse, and its one thing i hate is being called an idiot, lack of knowlage doesnt make you an idiot, if it did, your all idiots because you dont know how to build a watch blind folded with one hand broke

internet ,serious business,etc...
I angle down mario's fsmash often cuz I wanna do a dsmash instead , I also angle Samus' fsmash up

does it have any effect on the knockback or is it just the hitbox location that changes? cuz like Boom said , Fox n falcon's angled down ftilts are exciting for edgeguard lol
