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 pratfall occasionally.

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%.
  • 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.
