Should everyone drop through platforms?

[Xelrog]

It bugs me that some characters can drop through platforms using their downward-moving moves while others, despite the moves being almost identical, can't.

Those two not being the only examples, of course, but my question is this: Would it break the game's balance if everyone who had a downward-moving attack could drop through platforms? As a Ganondorf main of course I would be particularly happy if Wizard's Foot was able to do it by holding down, but also for Falcon, Bowser, maybe even downward aerials like Sonic's, Sheik's, and Toon Link's. Frankly I'm of the opinion that more mobility inherently makes a game more fun to play, and more mixups/movement options can only be good for competitive play. But I'm curious what you all think.

What characters are able to use moves to pass through platforms besides ? Who can't, but should? Who shouldn't?

It should be all or nothing. Either everyone can pass through platforms with their downward-moving attacks or no one can pass through, and I don't particularly care which, I just want it to be consistent.

Moves that I think would qualify (I might be forgetting some, possibly a lot):
Yoshi down-b
Incineroar up-b
Ganondorf/Cpt Falcon down-b
All the Links dair
Kirby down-b
Mii Swordfighter up-b (the default one)
DeDeDe up-b
Bowser dair and down-b
Zero Suit/Simon/Richter dair

All the Links dair

Only 's dair is a stall and fall, and are just normal dairs.

If you're holding the down direction while falling and performing the other Links' Dairs, do you fall through platforms?

if you fastfall then yeah iirc, tho im not too sure

In any case, I agree that it should be universal for all dropping moves.

I hate that Yoshi can go through platforms with his down B. Applying this to every other character with a similar attack, however, would make him less unique in that regard. Ness used to be able to use PK Thunder 2 and go through platforms from the top in the first Smash game. Why they removed that is a question I still ask.

I would prefer everyone be able to do it because of the mixup potential, but I would also be satisfied if no one was able to do it. The difference between who can and can't just seems so arbitrary, is all,
