This article or section may require competitive expertise. You can discuss this issue on the talk page or edit this page to improve it.

Overview

A crouching shin kick. Due to coming out on frame 4 with a hitbox that lasts for three frames and is interruptible at frame 21, it's one of the fastest down tilts. It launches horizontally and has a 35% chance of tripping opponents, and this can happen even at high percents due to its very low knockback overall. Since it can trip opponents, it can set-up into stronger moves such as dash attack, and if the opponent does not cause to trip, it has some combo potential at high percents. In addition, it can also 2-frame opponents.
