Editing Down tilt

Down tilts tend to be very quick grounded moves with good range, making them useful for spacing and "poking" from a distance. Some down tilts are also combo or followup initiators, while others are capable [[edgeguarding]] moves due to their [[semi-spike]] angle. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', some down tilts are capable of [[meteor smash]]ing opponents, while in ''Brawl'' and ''[[SSB4]]'', many have the ability to make opponents [[Prat Falling|prat fall]] occasionally.

{|class="wikitable"
