Flip Jump

The Flip Jump is Zero Suit Samus's down special move used in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U. When used, Samus leaps up into the air at an arc in the direction she is facing and lands facing the opposite direction. If the player hits a wall during the jump in Super Smash Bros. Brawl they will automatically leap off of it, and can do up to four wall jumps in this way; In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, the player must manually press the jump button, but can still only do up to four wall jumps. Pressing a button during the attack causes Samus to kick downward at an angle that acts as a meteor smash when it hits anyone in the air when initially used. The player can choose the direction of the kick with the control stick.

In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, the move automatically hits opponents when Samus comes into contact with them without having to use the kick. In addition, the move buries opponents when hit on the ground, and is a meteor smash when hit in the air. The player can also adjust Samus's angle mid-jump with the control stick.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U also adds two custom variations of this move that the player can unlock. The first of these is Shooting Star Flip Kick, which does not deal damage during the jump, and the kick is replaced with a falling kick that travels horizontally. The second is Low Flip, which does not jump as high but travels farther.
