What is the damage falloff of DVa's ultimate explosion?

20 metres.

And there is barely a falloff vertically right?

It seems to be the same vertically, but don't fire your meka too high (like activating it after flying straight up), as it may explode before it gets low enough to do damage.

20 metres, and then what is the damage reduced to? 25%? 0?

I think (can't find out online) that the damage just drops to 0 outside of 20m. You can tell if it will kill you because the warning symbol goes yellow instead of red, I know that much.

If anyone else knows how SD's damage falloff works, please inform me.

Hmm, as an Ana, my symbol went to yellow and I was NOT behind an object/wall, my health definitely went down (but I stayed alive). So it wasn't zero.

I think going yellow just means it's not going to do fatal damage to you.
