Down smash (abbreviated "dsmash") is a smash attack performed by any character by tapping the control stick downward and pressing A at the same time or (in versus mode) by pressing down on the C-stick.
In Super Smash Bros. Melee, it can be charged by holding down the A button for up to two seconds, resulting in higher damage and knockback. A typical attribute of a down smash is that they hit both the front and rear of the user, making them useful for crowds.
Notable down smashes include:
- Peach's down smash, which is arguably the most feared of all smashes due to its priority, knockback, quick start up, and damage. It does at least 70% damage if the opponent attempted to crouch cancel.
- The mewtwo's down smash is the only down smash in Melee that does not cover both the front and rear of the user.
- Snake's down smash allows him to plant a mine, which does no damage unless stepped on (this includes Snake), and is deactivated when he plants another.
