The move comes out quite slowly on frame 20 which makes it one of the slowest down smashes in the game. However, its ending lag is very low as it only has 17 frames of cooldown, making it difficult to punish. Additionally, it also has a large hitbox that lasts for 5 frames which gives it decent range. Its low ending lag combined with its decent range even makes it rather safe on shield if it is properly spaced. | ||
The move does have some shortcomings, however. As previously mentioned, the move has slow startup which can make it difficult to land at times and unlike most down smashes, it only hits in front of the user rather than on both sides. A big nerf it has received is that the move also applies [[hitlag]] to both Zero Suit Samus and her opponent whereas in previous ''Smash'' games, only her opponent suffered from hitlag.

As previously mentioned, the move has slow startup which can make it difficult to land at times and unlike most down smashes, it only hits in front of the user rather than on both sides. A big nerf it has received is that the move also applies [[hitlag]] to both Zero Suit Samus and her opponent whereas in previous ''Smash'' games, only her opponent suffered from hitlag. Lastly, the move has a lower hitlag multiplier and less overall knockback which reduces the ammount of time the opponent is paralyzed, particularly at low percents where it will be unsafe on hit which is exacerbated if the sourspot is landed. All of this combined prevents the move from granting Zero Suit Samus the frame advantage it did in ''Smash 4'' and especially in ''Brawl'', although the move is still very rewarding. | ||
