Ness (SSBB)/Down aerial

Overview

Ness performs a stomp attack below him. The move has a decent amount of startup, somewhat high ending lag, and some landing lag (the highest out of all his aerials) so this can be a risky move to use. On the other hand, it auto-cancels the entire time there is no hitbox, which is a step above most other aerials. The down aerial functions as Ness' meteor smash to edgeguard and has very high base knockback making it a powerful tool off stage especially against characters who have poor meteor cancel windows such as Wolf, but has low knockback scaling, so it cannot KO until 200% on grounded opponents. It also has a late hit which sends opponents at the Sakurai angle and deals less damage but it still has high base knockback and it KOs grounded opponents earlier.
