Isabelle (SSBU)/Down aerial

Hitbox visualization showing Isabelle's down aerial.

Overview

Isabelle's Down aerial is her primary means of attacking beneath her. The sweet spot possesses a smaller hit box in the center that that changes the landed hit into a spike if connected. The hit box lingers, improving her ability to circle camp and sometimes allowing her to more safely land on platforms.

Unlike Isabelle's other aerial attacks, it has minimal use in her combos and strings. Lloid Trap can combo into her Down aerial via footstool, but is mostly an impractical novelty since the setup is very situational, difficult, and is possibly never ideal.
