Peach (SSBM)/Down smash

Overview

The hitbox of Peach's d-smash.

Peach spins around on the ground, with her dress dealing damage. Despite consisting of five hits, the move is designed as a single-hit smash attack, with decent damage, above-average base knockback, and slightly reduced knockback scaling. As a result, if multiple hits land for whatever reason, the move can deal very high damage and knockback - if a foolish or outguessed opponent at low damage crouch cancels, the attack can deal a theoretical 70% damage if all the hits land, and even three hits can outdamage Ganondorf's up smash. While its 140 launch angle is not much different than the Sakurai angle (reversed), it can still act as a deadly move against fast-fallers, whom it can KO as low as 20% near the edge. With its ridiculous damage potential at low percentages and decent power at high ones, overall it could be considered the best down smash.
