Final Smash: Difference between revisions

The Final Smashes in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' are much quicker and require little to no control, so players can return to fighting quickly. As a result, many fighters that had controllable/transformative Final Smashes received new, instant, and non-transformative Final Smashes (e.g. [[Super Dragon]] being replaced by [[Stampede!]], and [[Konga Beat]] being replaced by [[Jungle Rush]]), although some retain their transformation effect (e.g. [[Giga Bowser Punch]]) or can still be affected by user input (e.g. [[Mr. Game & Watch#Octopus|Octopus]] and [[Sonic#Super Sonic|Super Sonic]] can be controlled vertically); while Final Smashes such as [[Shadow Mario Paint]] and [[Grand Star (move)|Grand Star]] have been made less powerful. This game also introduces the FS Meter, where players can charge up a Final Smash with a meter under the damage meter. The Final Smashes released from these are much weaker, easier to dodge, and can be shielded against. When the player activates a Final Smash, a cut-in of the summoner's face briefly appears on-screen.

Most Final Smashes are based on the character's individual background in their series, like [[List of fighters debuting in Super Smash Bros. Melee#Zelda|Zelda]] and [[List of fighters debuting in Super Smash Bros. Melee#Sheik|Sheik]]'s [[#Light Arrow|Light Arrow]]. However, some have been invented specially for ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', like [[Mario]]'s [[Mario Finale]]. Although they were planned to be included in the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''<ref>"Actually, I thought of using the Smash Ball since the very first Nintendo 64 version of the game." - Masahiro Sakurai, [http://us.wii.com/iwata_asks/ssbb/vol5_page1.jsp Wii.com - Iwata Asks: Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Vol. 5], accessed 2008-1-28</ref> (an unused voice sample of Ness's announcing "PK Starstorm" can be found in the files), Final Smashes made their first appearance in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. [[Masahiro Sakurai]] compared the Final Smash as a more powerful, "majestic" [[Hammer]] item (found in all ''Super Smash Bros.'' games)<ref>"People who have played the previous Smash Bros. title need only imagine the stronger, more majestic version of the Hammer to understand what I’m talking about." - Masahiro Sakurai, [http://us.wii.com/iwata_asks/ssbb/vol5_page1.jsp Wii.com - Iwata Asks: Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Vol. 5], accessed 2008-1-28</ref>, as all players rush to collect it, and the ones who didn't flee after it has been collected.

|Mario fires a giant wave of fireballs that travels across the screen. Any opponents caught in it will be damaged and carried away.

|Dr. Mario fires two giant [[Capsule|vitamin capsule]]s that travel across the screen, getting bigger and traveling wider as they go. Any opponents caught in it will be damaged and carried off.  

|Donkey Kong pulls out a pair of bongos and start playing them with ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' music replacing the current background music. The music waves surrounding the bongos will damage opponents and the length of the waves increases if the player presses an attack button with proper timing to the beat.

|Diddy Kong equips his Jetbarrel and Peanut Popguns and starts flying around the stage firing explosive peanuts at opponents. The player can control Diddy Kong's flight and peanut firing.

|Diddy Kong equips his Jetbarrel and zips across the screen in many different directions. At the end, he homes in on one random player and the Rocketbarrels will explode on them.

|[[Blast-o-Matic|Blast-O-Matic]]{{anchor|Blast-O-Matic}}

|King K. Rool traps players on [[Donkey Kong Island]] and fires a laser from his Blast-O-Matic to blow up the whole island, damaging players, referencing ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' where failure to shutdown the machine in [[Hideout Helm]] will result in the island’s destruction.

|rowspan=2|Samus unleashes a powerful charging beam that damage and knock opponents off screen. The beam can slighty be angled. Dark Samus' version functions the same, but is recolored to reflect her Phazon enhanced abilities.

|King Dedede sends one other fighter to a cage where he unleashes a ton of missiles at that fighter. Then, in his Masked Dedede form (originating in ''[[wikirby:Kirby Super Star Ultra|Kirby Super Star Ultra]]''), he uses his Jet Hammer to do a final slam on them.

|Fox summons a gang of Arwings that trap players in space. Team Star Fox will then start flying in space before the four Arwings fire a series of lasers that cause an explosion on the trapped opponent(s), launching them. During the cinematic, Fox says, "Star Fox! Fire at will!", but if Fox catches Wolf in the attack, he will instead say, "This is the end for you Wolf!".

|Falco summons a gang of Arwings that trap players in space. Team Star Fox will then start flying in space before the four Arwings fire a series of lasers that cause an explosion on the trapped opponent(s), launching them. If Falco only catches one opponent, he will say, "Time for a little payback!" during the cinematic, but if he catches multiple opponents, he will say, "We've got multiple bogies inbound!".

|Wolf summons a gang of Wolfens that trap players in space. Team Star Wolf will then start flying in space before the four Wolfens fire a series of lasers that cause an explosion on the trapped opponent(s), launching them. During the cinematic, Wolf says, "Grahaha! The hunt is on, boys!", but if Wolf catches Fox or Falco in the attack, he will instead say, "I've got you now, Star Fox!".

|Mewtwo evolves into Mega Mewtwo Y and throws a giant psychic sphere in the direction Mewtwo is facing. Any opponents caught in this will be paralyzed for a brief moment before being launched.

|[[Charizard#Mega Charizard X|Mega Evolution]]{{anchor|Mega Evolution}}

|In ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U'', due to being separated from the Pokémon Trainer, Charizard instead transforms into [[bulbapedia:Mega Evolution|Mega Charizard X]] from [[bulbapedia:Pokémon X and Y|''Pokémon X'' and ''Pokémon Y'']]. In this form, Charizard can fly around the stage, shoot Fire Blasts, and spin into opponents. After a set time has passed, Charizard will return to normal, but the time will decrease if Charizard is damaged.

|Lucario transforms into Mega Lucario from ''Pokémon X'' and ''Pokémon Y''. Unlike Mega Charizard, Mega Lucario does not gain any new attacks, but all of Lucario's attacks have their damage output increased as if Lucario was at 300% damage. After a set time has passed, Lucario will return to normal, but the time will decrease if Lucario is damaged.

|Incineroar dashes forwards and attempts to grab an opponent in front of it. If it does, it will take them to a setting similar to [[Boxing Ring]] and perform a bunch of uppercuts on them before finishing with a headbutt back down, which causes an explosion. The whole attack references its Z-Move from [[bulbapedia:Pokémon Sun and Moon|''Pokémon Sun'' and ''Pokémon Moon'']].

|Captain Falcon calls his racecar, the Blue Falcon, which comes flying in from the screen. If it hits any opponents, the view will change to a race track looking similar to the [[Port Town Aero Dive]] stage with the opponents landing on it. Captain Falcon then runs over his opponents in the Blue Falcon at full force, launching them.

|The Ice Climbers summon a massive iceberg that freezes and damages nearby opponents. The iceberg can be attacked, which will limit the amount of time it is present. In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', a condor will appear which the leading Climber can ride while the Final Smash is in effect and they also have the ability to move the iceberg around.

|rowspan=2|Marth/Lucina raises their sword and then charges forward at a high speed, launching and instantly KO-ing any opponent in their way. If there is no opponent, Marth/Lucina will continue a set distance or stop at a ledge. A Health Meter will appear during the attack, but it has no effect on the gameplay and is purely cosmetic.

|Unlike Lucina and Marth, Roy's Critical Hit needs to be activated when he is near opponents. He slowly swings his sword in an overhead arch, trapping opponents, then quickly brings his sword down, creating a large blast with a high KO potential. His Critical Hit is based on that from ''Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade''. Like with Marth and Lucina, a Health Meter will appear during the attack, but it has no effect on the gameplay and is purely cosmetic.

|Robin sends out [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate#Chrom|Chrom]], the main protagonist of ''Fire Emblem Awakening'', who rushes forward to strike an opponent. Any opponents in range will be brought into the air, where Robin and Chrom launch several attacks before launching the opponents into the ground.

|rowspan=2|[[smashwiki:Octopus|Octopus]]{{anchor|Octopus}}

|Sonic summons the Chaos Emeralds and transforms into Super Sonic. In this form, he can fly around the stage at high speeds, severely damaging any opponent he touches. He moves extremely fast and cannot be KO'd during the Final Smash (even if he flies off the screen).

|Mega Man fires a Black Hole Bomb, a weapon from ''Mega Man 9'', that can suck in opponents. He then appears alongside Mega Man X, MegaMan.EXE, Mega Man Volnutt, and ''Star Force'' Mega Man (along with Proto Man and Bass in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''), all of which fire lasers at the opponents and launch them.
