Pikachu/Bowser Down Smash

[stoneswithstand]

Okay Bowser is one of my mains I love his down smash but when I'm fighting against him or pikachu, its the worst thing ever (especially pikachu)

But sometimes I fall out of it or shield for some reason

Is there an exact way to get out of it?

Use DI.

That is all.

It's IMO the cheapest thing in the game besides the fan. Even cheaper than Metaknights whorenado. I also hereby dub it the Pikachu **** Circle.

Naw, the tornado is much worse than Pika's dsmash. The tornado is a MOVING Pika dsmash that you can't DI out of.

Pika's dsmash, just DI up.

Pink Metaknight and use B.

 

[Negi-Kun]

DI.

Yeah, if you use Smash DI (look it up) Pika's downsmash is virtually worthless. You can escape after taking minimum damage, and sometimes even be ready with a punishment. You'll therefore only take the full knockback from the last subhit you get caught at the end of the attack (which is almost always your own fault, but it does happen).

Bowser's Dsmash has no range and doesn't come out particularly quickly. Just don't roll into him predictably and you should almost never get hit by it.

Rofl, people still get hit by Pika's downsmash? You pop out of it by hitting up, simple as that.

Just don't hold down.

Wait, we're not talking about Peach?
