Down Smash Attack (abbreviated as "D-smash" and "down smash") is a Smash Attack performed by any character by tapping the control stick downward and pressing A at the same time or by pressing down on the C-Stick. In Super Smash Bros. Melee, the C-Stick could not be used in one-player mode. It is generally an attack that hits low to the ground and hits to one or both sides of the character performing the attack.
