The move does have some shortcomings,  however. As previously mentioned, the move has slow startup which can make it difficult to land at times and unlike most down smashes, it only hits in front of the user rather than on both sides. A big nerf it has received is that the move also applies [[hitlag]] to both Zero Suit Samus and her opponent whereas in previous ''Smash'' games, only her opponent suffered from hitlag. Lastly, the move has a lower hitlag multiplier and less overall knockback which reduces the amount of time the opponent is paralyzed, particularly at low percents where it will be unsafe on hit which is exacerbated if the sourspot is landed. All of this combined prevents the move from granting Zero Suit Samus the frame advantage it did in ''Smash 4'' and especially in ''Brawl'', although it is still very rewarding.

Although not as potent as it was in previous ''Smash'' titles due to the nerfs it has received, it still remains as a valuable tool in Zero Suit Samus's toolkit.
