I have a question about some down air moves. Like the down air of Zero Suit Samus and Sonic! When you use them you fall really quickly. It will be your death if you use it above the abyss! But sometimes when i use their down air they do not fall quickly but fall normally instead... What event triggers the slower falling in these down air moves? It might be handy to know because sometimes i am thinking "Yes now i can hit him with my down air" and end up not falling fast which makes me lose a stock!
 
Usually if you use them out of hitstun it won't drop you down fast. So if you get popped up into the air, and you use dair within like 10-20 frames after you can barely move i think it slows you down. It also happens if you get hit by an upward windbox, like Game and Watch's up-air.

Oh okay that makes sense! Thanks for clearing that up!
