Sheik (SSBM)/Down smash

Overview

Hitbox duration of Sheik's down smash.

Sheik does a long-ranged breakdance kick consisting of multiple hits. The move has low knockback and KO potential, but is a decent panic and escape option due to its fast startup and long range, and is a useful edgeguarding option on opponents recovering low. It is not commonly used in combos, but can be used after a down throw on fastfallers. Is essentially safe on shield against most characters, but is vulnerable to Wavedash OoS -> Shine from Fox and some quick long ranged aerials like Marth's Forward Air.
