Down aerial

A down aerial, also known as a down air and commonly abbreviated as a d-air, is an aerial attack in Super Smash Flash 2 or Fraymakers that is performed by pressing the down and attack inputs in conjunction while in midair. It can also be performed in SSF2 by pressing down with the "C-Stick" controls in midair or in Fraymakers by pressing down with the "secondary stick" controls in midair when assigned to tilt attacks or strong attacks.

Down aerials typically hit below the character and are often used for landing safely. Many of them are meteor smashes or spikes, allowing them to be used for combos and edgeguarding. Some are also stall-then-falls, which propel the character downward upon being used.

In SSF2, attempting to down aerial while holding a throwing item throws it downward.
