Dr. Mario (SSBU)/Down aerial

Hitbox visualization showing Dr. Mario's down aerial.

Overview

Dr. Mario violently stomps below him with both feet, similarly to Captain Falcon and Ganondorf's down aerials. While it has moderate startup at frame 14, it lasts for four frames, has low ending lag and can autocancel in a short hop. It has two hitboxes, located on his feet and body respectively and deals 14% with great knockback. The hitbox located at Dr. Mario's chest launches the opponents at the Sakurai angle, while the hitbox on his legs and feet is a strong meteor smash.
