Marth (SSBM)/Down smash

OverviewEdit

Hitbox animation of Marth's d-smash.

Hitbox details of Marth's d-smash.

Marth sweeps his sword on the ground in front of himself, then behind. It deals 11% on the base and 16% when tipped. If tipped, it knocks opponents vertically with very high vertical knockback, being able to KO reliably at high percentages. Overall, it is the strongest down smashes in the game (and the 3rd strongest smash attack overall when tipped), and arguably one of Marth's best KOing options. If not tipped, it is much weaker, and hits opponents horizontally instead, though it can still KO at high percentages near the edge. Although it has high power, the move has rather high ending lag; even though it is Marth's second fastest move in terms of startup, it is rather punishable if it misses. Also, the move doesn't have much combo ability outside of sometimes being usable after throws.
