F-smash angles

[Archillion]

Hi everyone !

Simple question : what are the différences between the 3 f-smash angles ? Up, down and normal f-smash ?
It is useful ?

Down deals more percent but less knockback.
Up deals more knockback but less percent.
correct me if im wrong tho!

Thanks for the reply.

I think the sweetspot/sourspot frame are differents too.
I already did several normal f-smashes who hit in the sourspot.I guess if I did an "up" f-smash, I would hit in the sweetspot. Am I wrong ?

Actually, f-smash angled up deals both more damage and knockback. Angled down deals less knockback and slightly less damage. The regular f-smash deals slightly less knockback and damage than when angled down.
The usage of each depends on what you want to punish. For example, a down angled f-smash can be used to punish someone re-grabbing the ledge after a successful ledge trump.
