Bowser (SSBU)/Down aerial

Hitbox visualization showing Bowser's down aerial, when landing.

Overview

A stall-then-fall attack that involves Bowser hiding in his shell, turns upside-down, and propelling himself towards the ground while spinning. The first few frames is a meteor smash, before it launches diagonally. If used off-stage, it can guarantee be a self-destruct. The move can emit a small shockwave on both sides when Bowser lands with his shell, which makes the move slightly harder to punish. He also grants intangibility on his arms and legs in midair (frames 14-60) and when he lands (frames 1-27).
