Terry (SSBU)/Down smash

Hitbox visualization showing Terry's down smash.

Overview

Terry performs a low Martelo do Chão. Unlike other smash attacks in Terry's kit, it can cancel into his Final Smash, though not his normal special moves. This move is extremely fast for a smash attack, being frames 8-11, with a very active hitbox. It has mediocre KO potential, but makes up for it in its strong range and extremely low knockback angle (32°). This angle can make it impossible for some characters (eg. Roy to recover if hit near the ledge.

Down smash shifts Terry's hitbox quite low, allowing it to low profile aerial attacks in a similar vein to up smash. Unlike up smash, however, down smash is better for punishing spaced aerials or grounded options, with superior horizontal range. However, its vertical range is pitiful, not even covering his entire leg.

Due to its fast nature, down smash can be confirmed into through moves such as down tilt. However, this is only really used for gimping characters through the knockback angle, as Terry's special moves are much better options in most cases. If Terry has his Final Smash in casual matches, however, it's a very good option for this purpose.
