Lucina... Lucina Side Smash... What's the freaking point if Falco's? Or even Ike's?
Luci's Side Smash is naturally disjointed because of Parallel Falchion, it does 15%, 65 base, 80 growth, and launches at a 361 / Sakurai angle. It's frame 10, has 4 active frames, and 39 recovery frames. Falco's clean Side Smash does 15%, 42 base, 90, 93, or 96 growth, and launches at a 361 degree angle. Late, it does 10%, 30 base, and 90 growth. It's frame 17 clean, frame 20 late, and has 29 recovery frames. Oh, and it's transcendent, but that means jack at times when you're swinging regular hitboxes and not a disjoint. Lucina's only really loses in recovery and growth, but has a safer and longer-ranged Side Smash that's 7 frames faster. I'd rather lose transcendence for a frame 13, 14% or lower knockback Side Smash. It'd basically be Melee Falco Side Smash, but using the late hit's damage for the clean hit. Fox keeps his frame 8 Up Smash of doom, but Brawl and Smash 4 upped Falco's Side Smash of doom from frame 13 to 16 and then 17... Oh, wait, I can't complain now since -Falco's 1.1.4 Up Smash kills ~10% to ~20% instead of ~20% to ~3of later than Fox's.
