There are various attacks in the ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' series that cause the '''electric''' effect. Targets hit by these attacks will be shocked and spark for a second or two. Electric attacks have other effects:

'''Electric''' is an attack [[effect]] in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] that debuted in the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' Targets hit by electric attacks will be shocked and spark for a second or two. The electric effect is distinct from the [[paralyze]] effect, despite most attacks with the paralyze effect using electrical sound effects.


*They multiply the [[freeze frame]]s of an attack by 1.5x.<ref>http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=302576#jumphithurtboxes</ref><ref>http://www.smashboards.com/showpost.php?p=14651044&postcount=2</ref> Prior to ''Brawl'', this multiplier only applied to the victim, not the attacker.
In ''Smash 64'' only, characters hit by electric attacks briefly flash black, with their skeleton visible (except {{SSB|Samus}}, whose suitless shape is seen instead; and {{SSB|Kirby}} and {{SSB|Jigglypuff}}, whose bodies stay black but have their eyes protuding from them). This is no longer the case from ''Melee'' onward, as characters instead glow light blue after taking a hit. From ''Brawl'' onward, characters also use a special animation when hit by an electric attack, which has them continuously tremble in place during hitlag and before being launched, instead of using a single animation frame (this animation is shared for characters who are [[paralyze]]d).
*They do no damage to Yellow {{b|Pikmin|species}}, which will not [[flinch]].
 
*They are strengthened by Electric Attack [[sticker]]s and [[Spirits (characters)|spirits]].
In ''Smash 64'', ''Melee'', and ''Brawl'', electric attacks always emit very loud sounds on hit. Starting in ''Smash 4'', this has been toned down to a quieter "buzzing" sound.
*They are weakened by Electric Resistance stickers and spirits.
 
*They make [[Hothead]]s grow larger and make them more powerful.
In addition, electric attacks have several other effects:
*They multiply [[hitlag]] of an attack by 1.5x.<ref>http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=302576#jumphithurtboxes</ref><ref>http://www.smashboards.com/showpost.php?p=14651044&postcount=2</ref> In ''Melee'', this multiplier only applied to the victim, not the attacker.
*In ''Smash 4'', they cause attacks to inflict one more frame of [[hitstun]] than usual.
*In ''Smash 4'', they cause attacks to inflict one more frame of [[hitstun]] than usual.
*They deal no damage to Yellow {{b|Pikmin|species}}, which will not [[flinch]].
*In ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'', flame and electric attacks make [[Hothead]]s grow larger and more powerful (in ''Ultimate'', all attacks can do this, albeit not as quickly).


In the first three installments of ''Smash Bros.'', electric attacks always emit very loud sounds on hit. This has been toned down to a "buzzing" sound in ''Smash 4'', making them much quieter. Some [[Spirit]] battles in ''Ultimate'' have a floor with an electric effect.
Electric attacks are boosted by Electric Attack [[sticker]]s in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''{{'}}s [[The Subspace Emissary]] and the [[spirit]] skill or trait Electric Attack ↑ as well as certain [[Spirit Battle]] [[condition]]s in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. Electric attacks are resisted by Electric Resist stickers in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' and the support spirit skills Electric Resist ↑ in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''. These attacks also deal more damage to fighters equipped with a primary spirit with the trait Electric Weakness.
 
The majority of [[magic]], [[energy]], and [[PK]] attacks use the electric effect, though this is hardly universal. The electric effect can be confused with the [[paralyze]] effect, as the only common moves that can paralyze use electrical sound effects.

[[Image:SkeletonCompilation.png|250px|thumb|The playable characters' appearances when hit by electric attacks in ''Smash 64'' where some of the characters get shocked with cartoon animations showing; this is the only game in the series to use such an [[easter egg]].]]
*In ''Ultimate'', when a downed opponent is hit with an electric attack which lifts them off the ground but doesn't cause tumble, they will enter the [[Lock|reset]] animation in the air rather than their aerial flinch animation. The animation ends early if the opponent acts out of hitstun or lands on the ground again.
 
*In ''Melee'', when Pikachu uses its back, up, or down throw on an opponent, it begins to spark immediately, without the "shock" being displayed when the move connects. Strangely, these moves have a normal hit effect, which makes this occurrence even stranger. This was fixed in ''Brawl'', where they now have a proper normal. This also happens to Pichu, with these throws also being the only ones that don't cause recoil damage to it (besides dismissed Thunder), likely because they are not true electric attacks.
*In ''[[Super Smash Bros]]'', characters hit by electric attacks will briefly flash black, with their skeleton visible. The exception is Samus, whose suitless shape is seen instead. Non-playable characters do not have this effect. Using AR codes can enable the player to play as a skeleton for an entire game.
**This can also happen with numerous other throws in ''Melee'' if their damage/angle/knockback is altered, even if they retain a normal effect.
*In ''Melee'', when Pikachu uses its back, up, or down throw on an opponent, it begins to spark immediately, without the "shock" being displayed when the move connects. This was fixed in ''Brawl'', where they were given a neutral effect. This also happens to Pichu, with these attacks also being the only ones that don't cause recoil damage to it (besides dismissed Thunder).
*In ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'', characters use a special animation when hit by an electric attack, which has them continuously tremble in place during freeze frames and before being launched, instead of using a single animation frame, and is the same as their animation when [[paralyze]]d.
*When a character is hit by an electric attack in ''Brawl'' and they have high enough damage, the [[crowd]] doesn't make any sounds unless the electric attack in question happens to hit an opponent that has already been launched by another, non-electric attack.
