Update History

2.0.0

• Down smash connects more reliably.

7.0.0

• Down smash has less startup (frame 11/18 → 8/15), with its total duration reduced as well (FAF 52 → 49).
• One of the hitboxes on down smash's first hit has been extended (Y offset: 8u → 5.2u-8u; Z offset: 7u → 0u-7u), while another of them launches at an angle more towards Sheik (140° → 165°). This allows it to connect more reliably into the second hit.

Trivia

• The second hit has a 30% trip chance, but due to its launch angle, it can only happen on steep slopes, such as the ones in Hanenbow.
