Sonic (SSB4)/Down smash

Overview

A split kick, similar to Fox's and Falco's down smashes. It is a semi-spike and has less start-up lag than his other smash attacks, due to coming out on frame 12. However, it has below average knockback overall, lasts for only 1 frame and has 42 frames of ending lag. As a result, it is better suited for setting up edgeguards and punishing rolls, rather than KOing.
