**{{buff|Down aerial's late hit has a larger hitbox (5.8u → 7u).}}

**{{nerf|Down aerial has ~~increased start-up~~ lag with a shorter duration (frames 16-37 → 17-32). ~~It also~~ has more ending lag (FAF 44 → 46)~~, it incurs~~ more landing lag (30 frames → 38)~~, and it~~ auto-cancels ~~two frames~~ later (frame 39 → 41).}}

**{{change|Down aerial now has a clean hit, a mid hit and a late hit. The new clean hit especially functions the same as the previous clean hit's grounded hitbox, except it now works against grounded and aerial opponents.}}

**{{change|The mid hit against aerial opponents is now a [[meteor smash]] (32° → 285°). This significantly improves its edgeguarding potential but hinders its KO potential on stage.}}

**{{change|The mid hit against aerial opponents has less base knockback but more knockback scaling (70 (base), 60 (scaling) → 30/90). This improves its KO potential at higher percents, but this also reduces its knockback at lower percents. As the move is a meteor smash, this hinders the move's edgeguarding potential at lower percents.}}

**{{change|The mid hit against aerial opponents has a higher hitlag multiplier (1x → 2x).}}

**{{nerf|Down aerial has more startup lag with a shorter duration (frames 16-22 (clean)/23-37 (late) → 17-18/19-22/23-32).}}

**{{nerf|Down aerial has more ending lag (FAF 44 → 46) and a longer animation (43 frames → 61).}}

**{{nerf|Down aerial has more landing lag (30 frames → 38).}}

**{{nerf|Down aerial auto-cancels later (frame 39 → 41). When combined with its shorter hitbox duration, this makes it much more difficult to land safely with down aerial.}}

**{{nerf|The mid hit against aerial opponents has a much smaller hitbox (6.2u → 3.5u), which is positioned closer to Sonic (y/z offsets: 3/2 → 1.3/2.8). When combined with its shorter duration, this makes it much more difficult to land.}}
