Mario (SSB4)/Down aerial

This article or section may require additional technical data. You can discuss this issue on the talk page or edit this page to improve it.

Damage and Knockback

Mario's down aerial is the Mario Tornado. In this move, he spins around in the air whilst yelling "Yahoo!" It functions similarly to his Mario Tornado from Smash 64 and Melee, where it was his down special move, but it ends should Mario touch the floor. Each hit deals 1% damage with very little knockback, but the final hit is stronger, dealing 5% damage and moderate knockback. If used closer to the ground it has a landing hit that deals 2% damage, sending them at the Sakurai angle, making it a useful approach option. It autocancels on frame 33, however, with 19 frames of landing lag so players should be careful not to use it too close to the ground. It is useful as a combo move out of up throw at low percents for racking damage or even KOs as the last hit has high base knockback and growth. This move was carried over from Brawl, when F.L.U.D.D. replaced it as his down special move.
