A Strong Down, also known as a Down tilt (abbreviated "dtilt,") is a Strong Attack performed by any character by holding the control stick lightly down or crouching and pressing A while on the ground. It will instantly hit all surrounding characters, making it useful for clearing room. It is also useful for one rolling around you. It can also be performed by pressing Z while crouching.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl Strong Down attacks have the ability to make opponents prat fall/trip occasionally.

Mario: Swivels his leg around himself in a circle. Moderate knockback.

Luigi: Different from Mario's. While crouching, slides foot farther from foe into them, usually causing them to prat fall. Can be a weak meteor smash if used on a foe on the ledge.

Peach: Bends forward and slaps at a slightly downward angle. Can meteor smash off the edge.

Bowser: Swipes his claws along the ground twice. As Giga Bowser, both swipes are meteor smashes and theyare imbued with shadow power.

Donkey Kong: Slaps along the ground.

Diddy Kong: Same as Donkey Kongs, only weaker knockback and hand has a colored "booming" effect. Horizontal knockback.

Notable down tilts include:

  • Mr. Game and Watch's and Falco's down tilts, well known for their speed, power and comboability. Each of their down tilts sends the enemy upwards and can kill as early as 100%. Both moves are significantly weaker in Brawl.
  • Marth and Yoshi's down tilts, which are low trajectory "pokes" useful for edge-guarding.
  • Ness's down tilt is an infinite on certain stages against fast fallers.
