Marth (SSBM)/Down smash

Overview

Hitbox animation of Marth's d-smash.

Hitbox details of Marth's d-smash.

Marth sweeps his sword on the ground in front of himself, then behind. It deals Template:DamageWhenCharged on the base and Template:DamageWhenCharged when tipped. If tipped, it knocks opponents vertically with very high vertical knockback, being able to KO reliably at high percentages. Overall, it is among the strongest down smashes in the game, and arguably one of Marth's best KOing options. If not tipped, it is much weaker, and hits opponents horizontally instead, though it can still KO at high percentages near the edge. Although it has high power, the move is rather laggy, having a bit of startup lag and considerable ending lag.
