A '''down tilt''' (abbreviated "d-tilt"), officially called a '''strong down''' ({{ja|下強攻撃|shita kyō kōgeki}}, ''down/lower/under strong attack'') before ''Ultimate'', is a [[tilt]] performed by any [[character]] by holding the [[control stick]] lightly down and pressing the [[attack]] button while on the ground, or pressing the [[attack]] button or Z while [[crouching]].

Down tilts on average have the lowest power of all tilts, but tend to be quick moves with good range, making them useful for spacing and poking from a distance. Many down tilts are one of a fighter's main combo or follow-up tools, often favorably launching upward with low knockback, while a smaller number are more powerful [[edgeguarding]] moves due to a [[semi-spike]] angle. Many down tilts can be described as "on-the-ground" (OTG) attacks, meaning they are specifically designed to opponents lying on the ground; due to hitting low, they are also useful for [[shield poking]] or hitting the ledge, especially to [[two frame|two-frame]]. They are also good at dodging some attacks due to the low profile of the character. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', some down tilts are capable of [[meteor smash]]ing opponents, and from ''Brawl'' onwards, many have a bonus chance to make opponents [[trip]].

==Notable down tilts==
*While many down tilts throughout the series move their users slightly forwards for a [[Crawl#pseudo-crawling|pseudo-crawl]], a small handful of characters have down tilts which cause them to move a significant distance forward with just one use. These characters are [[Cloud]], [[Joker]], [[King Dedede]] (from ''[[SSB4]]'' onwards), [[Mega Man]], [[Banjo]] & [[Kazooie]], [[Sephiroth]], [[Richter]], [[Simon]] and [[Min Min]].
*[[Ness]]'s down tilt has extremely low ending lag and knockback, allowing it to chain into itself many times to rapidly inflict massive damage, especially near the ledge.
*[[Kirby]]'s down tilt from ''Brawl'' onward is notorious for its very fast frame data and low knockback allowing it to chain into itself, or set up into other follow-ups due to its generous bonus trip chance. Furthermore, it shifts Kirby's already small hurtbox even lower.
*[[Peach]]'s down tilt, in all of its appearances, is an [[unconventional meteor smash]].
**From ''Smash 4'' onward, it is one of the only down tilts to retain a meteor smash angle on grounded opponents.
**Additionally, in ''Ultimate'' (where she now shares it with [[Daisy]]), it is a highly effective combo starter with disproportionately high hitstun due to the meteor smash being untechable.
*[[Zelda]]'s down tilt in ''Brawl'' has deceptively long-lasting and large hitboxes that hit far below stage level, and due to its meteor smash angle sending straight downward with low knockback, was notoriously able to chain into itself many times on grounded opponents before finishing with a down smash.
*[[Roy]]'s down tilt is known for its disjoint, disproportionately high damage and safety on shield, especially with the sweetspot. Its very low ending lag, as well as its semi-spike angle in ''Smash 4'' onward also allows it to tech chase into various KO punishes at high percents.
*[[Ryu]] and [[Ken]], like their [[neutral attack]] and other [[tilt]]s, have access to two different down tilts, depending on whether the attack button is quickly tapped or held for a longer time. Their tapped down tilts can be repeated very quickly and have very low [[knockback]], which allows them to chain into deadly [[combos]] like [[Shoryuken]].
*[[Luigi]]'s down tilt in ''Ultimate'' has drastically reduced ending lag with lower knockback, making it safe on shield with high combo potential and highly spammable, especially at the ledge. 
*[[R.O.B.]]'s down tilt is highly effective due to its very low startup and ending lag, low knockback and bonus trip chance, allowing for multiple combos and setups. The move per se is very similar across all its iterations, but is at its most effective in ''Ultimate'''s engine.
*[[Simon]] and [[Richter]]'s shared down tilt is the only one in the series that is a [[natural combo]]. It is one of the only tilts in the series (along with Mega Man's [[up tilt]]) that causes its user to functionally leave the ground, allowing them to jump off stage with it.
*[[King K. Rool]]'s down tilt [[bury|buries]] grounded opponents near his foot, being the only down tilt in the series to do so.
*[[Falco]] has the strongest down tilt in ''Ultimate'', post-patch [[8.0.0]].
*[[Steve]]'s down tilt is the only one to be a projectile. The flame will travel downwards when used over an edge, allowing Steve to edgeguard opponents without leaving the stage.
*[[Kazuya]]'s down tilt is the only normal attack in the series whose startup can be cancelled by shielding.
*[[Mythra]]'s down tilt is notorious for its disjointed hitboxes that can two-frame, fast frame data with very low hitlag that makes it difficult to react to, and its low knockback scaling allowing it to combo well past 200%.

-==Crouching attacks==
-Crouching attacks are a unique type of attack related to down tilts where the character must fully be in the [[crouch]] position to activate. These attacks were introduced in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' and are currently only available to [[Kazuya]].
