However, the move falls short in numerous areas. Firstly, it is Piranha Plant's slowest tilt, at frame 9. Combined with its low range, it makes it somewhat risky to use in close-combat situations, as it could get out-framed. Secondly, its damage is quite low, dealing at max 7% at its tip, doing less damage than its down throw, which links into the same aerials down tilt does, although down tilt has a significantly longer combo window and is much less susceptible to DI. It can also hit most ledge hangs with its tip, and for characters where the tip isn't required to hit, down tilt can combo into itself, have a wider percent-range into aerials, or even lead to a forward smash kill confirm. It is incapable of killing at realistic percents, although it is one of Piranha Plant's only ways of launching the opponent upward with a horizontal move, so it is useful for starting juggles with Piranha Plant's good anti-air game.
