Yoshi (SSB)/Down aerial

Overview

Yoshi's down aerial (often nicknamed the Flutter Kick) involves him swinging his feet back and forth repeatedly. All parts of the attack can meteor smash, but very weakly; the attack is most useful for racking up damage due to its very large damage potential. It can rack up a maximum of 56% damage if all hits connect, making it the most damaging aerial in the series by a significant margin. The move is very useful for shield break combos because of its damage output – it is situational otherwise, however, as it does not have much followup ability, and is easy to SDI out of. While it can cover tech options from opponents (especially on platforms above Yoshi), Yoshi's other aerials are better for this due to their superior followup ability.
