Why use down B directly after jumping?

[ADHD]

What is it's use? Where the kick just makes a clear circle on the ground?

1) When timed right, you actually have a chance to hit the person (in the very small hitbox.)

2) Some people enjoy the lag when you hit the ground.

its quick if done right and mixes things up a bit

 

[Sans Glutin]

Ganon's fastest move on the ground (comes out fastest) and is only a couple % weaker than jab.

Decent out of shield option.

 

[Nelo Vergil]

also it launches a foe up, though i find it difficult to follow up after it, but decent mix up

 

[Sliq]

I don't, because the pay off isn't worth the risk if it misses.

I use it right after i recover from the edge against edge guards; Also punishes ur opp for coming up after u.

You could just use an uair from the side and get a less punishable attack off

We're talking about the insta grounded down b, not just doing it from the air.

The grounded version is the speediest of his moveset, I use it as an attack, or just to get to the other side of stage.

It's quick for Ganondorf but it also happens to be extremely vulnerable at all times, even in the beginning. It also has extremely limited range. You get killed if it misses and seeing as how it has a lot of lag and it can be DIed out of pretty easily, its difficult to follow up except for a little extra damage with f-tilt. The speed does mean it has limited use though. Roll punish is alright, or it can be used for an OoS "get the **** off me". Problem with that though is that it only hits OG and its vulnerable start up. But its quick, yay!

Fail. The topic at hand is about the canceled version of the aerial version performed on the ground. If you jump and immediately down b, then you basically just punch the ground, doing minor damage with limited range. The only upside is it is very fast
