Bayonetta (SSB4)/Down smash

Hitbox visualization showing Bayonetta's down smash.

Overview

Uses her Wicked Weaves to summon Madama Butterfly's foot, appearing from a portal just in front of her and stomping onto the ground. Also a brief hitbox on Bayonetta's leading foot. Most famous for being a meteor smash attack, firing hit opponents straight to the lower blast line when used facing the edge. Holding the attack button after release activates Bullet Arts, but because only her heel guns fire anything, the ground gets in the way of any real value to this.
