Thanks to this trait and his aforementioned attributes, Forsburn can space out his opponent quite easily, stuff out opposing approach and adeptly punish most careless attacks, all while fighting from a safe distance. A prime example of this trait is Forsburn's aerial moveset: his neutral aerial is a fast three hit move that covers a very wide area and has the lowest landing lag among Forsburn's aerials, making it a go-to option for spacing or carrying the opponent across stage and is very safe to throw out in neutral. As mentioned before, Forsburn possesses one of the longest overall ranges in the game, which plays a vital role in his neutral.įorsburn's greatest asset is the overall range throughout his moveset, courtesy of his dagger: it grants Forsburn's attacks the overall longest disjointed range in the game. His lack of a projectile also makes it difficult to pressure his opponent from a distance, while making it hard for him to approach against projectile users as well.įorsburn's neutral game relies heavily on effective spacing. However, Forsburn has exploitable drawbacks, the most problematic being his predictable recovery that is easily edgeguarded forcing him to find creative ways to recover. He also has a fair share of strong finishers, such as his down strong and back aerial that can kill at higher percents, and Combust which can kill as early as 60%.Ĭombined with his flexible combo game with many very quick, easily chainable attacks, particularly his neutral aerial and forward aerial, Forsburn has a very capable offensive presence with numerous KO options.

Many of his attacks easily combo into each other and are safe and reliable set-up and KOing options. While his damage overall is very low, he has a very strong combo game that allows him to rack up damage quickly. He can greatly control the pace of a game by throwing out lots of smoke that forces opponents to approach to prevent him from consuming the smoke clouds and gaining his Combust charges.įorsburn's positives include good overall mobility and relatively long disjointed range on many of his attacks. He possesses a dagger that gives him among the best reach in the game, and disjointed hitboxes allowing him to space very effectively, especially against characters with poor range. As a result, he has one of the most effective movesets for spacing relative to the rest of the cast, which is most evident with his wide-ranged aerials, as well as long-ranged strong attacks that possess respectable overall damage outputs and KO potentials. He can capitalize on his opponents mistakes with his strong combo tools both on the ground and in the air (notably with his dash attack chains and up air juggles) and potent KOing options. He is a very good bait and punish character and is most effective when played patiently and waiting for his opponents to approach. He was the fifth character to be announced along with Maypul. Forsburn is a playable character who represents the element of smoke and is a hyena.
