Question about the F-tilt

[Roager]

I semi-main Snake, somewhere in between an alt and a main. Whatever, not important. What is important is that I've seen the first hit of the F-tilt (knee) knock the opponent back in several situations. But it's supposed to just set up enough hitstun to allow the second, clubbing hit, right? So, what makes it sometimes have it's own knockback? Is it what part of the hitbox makes contact? whether or not the opponent is airborne? Does anyone know?

I think the knee will actually knock back your opponent if your opponent is still in the air.

I'm not entirely positive, though.

It could be the fact that he smokes and is manly in his own way.......But it could just be random or can cause you to do that sometimes. Like when kirby Dtilits it could trip you. The same could apply for this.

If the opponent is grounded, they will be locked in hitstun. Otherwise, if they are airborne, they will receive knockback.

If that's right, we should add it to the guide. It's not really that important, but I think, at the very least, it'll help clear confusion.
