Peach (SSBM)/Down smash: Difference between revisions

Peach spins around on the ground, with her dress dealing damage. Despite consisting of five hits, the move is designed as a single-hit smash attack, with decent damage, above-average base knockback, and slightly reduced knockback scaling. As a result, if multiple hits land for whatever reason, the move can deal very high damage and knockback - if a foolish or outguessed opponent at low damage [[crouch cancel]]s, the attack can deal a theoretical {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|64.96}} damage if all the hits land (due to how ''Melee''{{'}}s [[stale]]ness works), and even three hits can outdamage {{mvsub|Ganondorf|SSBM|up smash|poss=y}}. While its 140 launch angle is not much different than the [[Sakurai angle]] (reversed), it can still act as a deadly move against fast-fallers, whom it can KO as low as 20% near the edge. With its ridiculous damage potential at low percentages and decent power at high ones, overall it could be considered the best [[down smash]].
