In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', the C-stick cannot be used in one-player mode. | ||
Since ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', all smash attacks can be charged by holding down the A button for up to one second, multiplying [[damage]] and [[knockback]] by up to 1.4. In ''Ultimate'', with some exceptions, these charges can be held for up to 3 seconds (or 180 frames), but the attack stops increasing in strength after the 1 second mark. | Since ''Super Smash Bros.

*In ''Brawl'', {{SSBB|Snake}}'s down smash causes him to plant a mine in the ground. Once planted, it will explode if struck by any hitbox or touched by any character, including Snake, which grants it incredible versatility for stage control. This is the only [[projectile]] down smash. Also unique to the move is that, as it is [[charge]]d, the mine becomes increasingly difficult to see in addition to becoming stronger. | *In ''Brawl'', {{SSBB|Snake}}'s down smash causes him to plant a mine in the ground.

Rool]] and [[Sora]] all perform a short upwards hop during the startup of their down smashes. While most of them do not feature any sort of protection such as [[intangibility]], the hop allows them to dodge certain attacks and punish them heavily. This leads them to sometimes be humorously labeled "[[spot dodge]]s with [[hitbox]]es". Of particular note is King K. Rool's, which possesses his characteristic [[Belly Super Armor]], and Sora's, which grants generous amounts of intangibility. | ||
*In ''Melee'', {{SSBM|Peach}}'s down smash is a fearsome attack by any measure. Unlike most multi-hit attacks, all of its hits deal individually high [[damage]] and [[knockback]]. At low percentages, especially against a [[crouch cancel]]ling opponent, it can deal astonishingly high damage. Its high [[semi-spike]] knockback and fast speed also makes it a great tool for [[edge-guarding]]. Since ''Brawl'', however, the attack has been [[nerf]]ed, and is now a fairly standard multi-hit attack. | *In ''Melee'', {{SSBM|Peach}}'s down smash is a fearsome attack by any measure.

*In ''Brawl'', the {{SSBB|Ice Climbers}}'s down smashes are capable of dealing extreme damage. As both Ice Climbers perform their own down smashes and the animation involves them both performing a front and back sweep, the move is capable of hitting up to four times if the opponent is very close, which deals 42% (the second highest out of any down smash in ''Brawl''). This move was nerfed heavily in ''Ultimate'', as the Ice Climbers now individually perform a sweep in each direction, and even if both hits land, it only deals around half the damage of the original attack (22.7%). | *In ''Brawl'', the {{SSBB|Ice Climbers}}'s down smashes are capable of dealing extreme damage.
