Seriously, why is Peach the ONLY character that doesn't have a proper aerial down special? (Don't say Villager, he has the Axe if the Tree's already out). This has always bugged me, and it has only gotten worse with DK and a few others getting brand spanking new Down+B's. What I wouldn't give to pull Turnip's from the Air via her breasts, or a Down+B that is a grab special (aka Bowser's Side+B) grabbing opponents beneath her.

Aerial down special allows us to throw directly from a float where we would normally have to drop float and throw. While this isn't great it's something and can be used to extend her combo game which is part of where she excels.

A command grab of sorts would be really nice. It would also make sense since in SMB2 Peach (and the others) can pick up Shy Guys etc. when landing on top of them. I can picture Peach Floating at head height above someone shielding and, instead of Dairing the shield, picking them up and throwing them away.

Poor Peach :(
