Down smash

Sora using his down smash.

A down smash, also known as a d-smash, is a ground attack in Super Smash Flash 2 that is performed by pressing down and then the attack input immediately afterward or simultaneously. It can also be performed by pressing down with the "C-Stick" controls while grounded.

Down smashes are generally strong outward strikes that attack directly low to the ground in front of or on both sides of the character. Like with other smash attacks, they can be charged by holding the attack input to increase the damage and knockback they deal. They are often the fastest and weakest of a character's smash attacks at the cost of being the slowest, and they are most often used for coverage or to quickly punish opponents. They can also be horizontal KO moves, though they are typically less effective at this than forward smashes. They often reach low enough to attack opponents below or hanging on a ledge, which also makes them powerful edgeguarding tools.

Attempting to down smash while holding a throwing item throws it downward.
