Sheik (SSBM)/Down aerial

Overview

Hitbox duration of Sheik's down aerial.

Sheik does a downwards kick with a long duration. The move sends opponents upward slightly, and is a great way to combo into forward aerials or forward tilts on platforms above Sheik, despite the move's high ending lag. The duration of the move, combined with the consistent hitbox, makes it a very useful option for tech-chasing, as it can easily cover tech and getup options from the opponent and lead into punishes.
