 **{{nerf|The foot hitbox launches opponents at a lower angle (68° → 65°).}}
 *[[Down aerial]]:
-**{{buff|The removal of [[meteor canceling]] improves down aerial's reliability for edgeguarding. Due to its 2× hitlag multiplier, it also benefits heavily from [[frame cancelling]] upon landing.}}
+**{{buff|The removal of [[meteor canceling]] improves down aerial's reliability, although this is partially offset by the move's reduced power.}}
-**{{nerf|Down aerial has an altered animation, resulting in over three times the startup lag (frame 5 → 16), more ending lag (FAF 50 → 52), almost twice the landing lag (12 frames → 23) and a slower auto-cancel (frame 27 → 38). This drastically worsens its utility and prevent it from autocanceling in a short hop. It also has less reach (5.5u → 4.2u (clean hit)/5.3u (late hit)), and lower knockback scaling on its clean hit (100 → 80).}}
+**{{buff|The clean hit has a longer duration (frames 5-7 → 16-19).}}
-**{{nerf|Down aerial has shorter initial autocancel window (frames 1-4 → 1-3).}}
+**{{change|The clean hit launches aerial opponents at a slightly more horizontal angle (280° → 285°).}}
-**{{change|The clean hit of down aerial has a different launch angle on grounded opponents (280° → 80°) and aerial opponents (280° → 285°). In the former case, this improves its KO potential, but removes its follow-ups at high percentages and removes its ability to [[trip]] opponents at lower percents.}}
+**{{change|The clean hit now launches grounded opponents vertically (280° → 80°). This improves its KO potential as well as preventing opponents from [[tech]]ing the move at higher percents (considering the changes to meteor smashes), however, this also hinders its followup potential at lower percents.}}
-**{{change|The clean hit has increased hitlag (1× → 2×). This makes it safer on shield, but easier to DI.}}
+**{{change|The clean hit has a much higher hitlag multiplier (1× → 2×). This allows the move to greatly benefit from the introduction of [[frame canceling]] but this also makes it much easier to DI.}}
+**{{nerf|Down aerial has drastically higher startup lag (frame 5 → 16), no longer being the fastest meteor smash. This makes the move much harder to land.}}
+***{{buff|However, its total duration was not fully compensated (FAF 50 → 52), giving it less ending lag.}}
+**{{nerf|Down aerial has much more landing lag (12 frames → 23).}}
+**{{nerf|Down aerial has shorter initial auto-cancel window (frames 1-4 → 1-3).}}
+**{{nerf|Down aerial auto-cancels later (frame 27 → 38), no longer doing so in a short hop.}}
+**{{nerf|Down aerial has a longer animation (49 frames → 63).}}
+**{{nerf|The late hit has a shorter duration (frames 8-21 → 20-30).}}
+***{{nerf|Altogether, these changes greatly hinder down aerial's safety and utility.}}
+**{{nerf|Down aerial has smaller hitboxes (5.5u → 4.2u (clean)/5.3u (late)).}}
+**{{nerf|The clean hit has lower knockback scaling (100 → 80). This makes the move barely stronger against grounded opponents despite its higher launch angle while also making it much weaker against aerial opponents.}}
