A Fan or Paper Fan is a weak item in the Super Smash Bros. series. Much like the more powerful Beam Sword, if picked up, it would replace many of the player's normal attack moves with quick fan swipes. Although it does very little damage, its attacks are quick and a smash attack will almost completely destroy a player's Shield. If hit by a thrown fan, the player will fly straight up in the air, setting them up for other attacks.
Trophy Information
The Fan can be swung so rapidly that it leaves opponents unable to counterattack. It is, however, an exceedingly weak weapon. Despite this shortcoming, the Fan is quite effective as a shield breaker, and it works well at disrupting an enemy's equilibrium. Throw the fan to send your foe bouncing straight up into the sky.
