Hello everyone. I have a question regarding Mario's Forward A in the air. Both the Smash Wiki and the Official SSBM Strategy Guide say that Mario's Forward A in the air is called "Plunger". My friend claims that he did this move recently, and Mario stuck a plunger out and jabbed with it. I did Mario's Forward A in the air many times after hearing this trying to recreate it, but I always got Mario's Meteor Punch (The one in which he makes a motion like he's spiking a volleyball). Is there some technique I'm missing, or is what my friend told me false? And if so, why is the move called Plunger?
