Overview

Yoshi unleashes a fury of kicks by fluttering his legs. Despite the moves rather middling 16 frame startup, the slowest of Yoshi’s aerials, tied with his Forward Aerial, this attack is notorious for its absurd damage output. While multi-hit attacks by nature carry a degree of inconsistency, down airs hits chain into each other extremely reliably, leading to a damage output of 28% in total. The multi-hit nature of the attack is also not strictly detrimental, as it can be useful for beating some moves that have armor, such as Raptor Boost.

Down aerial can also function as a KO option off of the top thanks to the final hits respectable base knockback.
