Down specials are the most varied of special moves and are often of the character's more "gimmicky" attacks - the majority of [[reflect]]ors, [[absorb]]ers, [[counterattack]]s, item-creating moves, mid-match character transformations, difficult recoveries, and chargeable attacks are down specials. They tend to involve minimal character movement. | Down specials are the most varied of special moves and are often of the character's more "gimmicky" attacks - the majority of [[reflect]]ors, [[absorb]]ers, [[counterattack]]s, item-creating moves, mid-match character transformations, difficult recoveries, and chargeable attacks are down specials.

In ''Brawl'', ''Smash 4'', and ''Ultimate'', some characters' down special moves can be reversed by pushing the control stick in the opposite direction a few frames after inputting the move. There is no animation for reversing a down special. Unlike other reverse specials, a reverse down special has a limited number of characters that can do it and fewer who will gain an advantage from it. The characters who can perform it are Bowser, Yoshi, Pit, Ice Climbers, R.O.B., Pikachu, Marth, Ike, Ness, Lucas, Fox, Wolf, and Mr. Game & Watch. Since only Bowser, R.O.B., and Yoshi have a use for a reverse down special on the ground, some characters can use it in the air to gain a boost in the opposite direction and surprise opponents like Marth, Ike, and Pikachu. The boost is most likely caused by a reverse down special having no animation and swaps the momentum around with the character. | In ''Brawl'', ''Smash 4'', and ''Ultimate'', some characters' down special moves can be reversed by pushing the control stick in the opposite direction a few frames after inputting the move.
