Eruption

Eruption is Ike's neutral special move in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U. Ike holds his sword in the air before plunging it into the ground, creating an explosion that damages any nearby opponents. The move can be charged by holding the special move button, and automatically strikes once fully charged, though a fully charged Eruption deals recoil damage to Ike. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl the flames the attack makes are red; the fire is changed to being blue in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U.

In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U this move has two custom variants: Tempest and Furious Eruption. Tempest cannot be charged as long and replaces the fire with wind that pushes opponents away; only the sword can deal damage, and a fully-charged Tempest does not damage Ike. Furious Eruption creates larger explosions that deal more damage to both opponents and Ike; the move also can damage Ike before being fully charged.
