Ness (SSBM)/Down tilt

Hitbox visualization showing Ness's down tilt.

Application

Ness' down tilt sees significant use for its ability to rapidly jab reset prone opponents as well as general damage-building, but unlike other attacks of the same type it also has low ending-lag giving it additional use similar to a jab as well as the ability to push away shielding opponents to limit their retaliation options.
