'''Electric''' is an attack [[effect]] in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] that debuted in ''[[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.

The electric effect is distinct from the [[paralyze]] effect, despite most attacks with the paralyze effect using electrical sound effects.


In ''Super Smash Bros.'' only, characters hit by electric attacks briefly flash black, with their skeleton visible (except {{SSB|Samus}}, whose suitless shape is seen instead). In ''Super Smash Bros.'', ''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.
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).

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.

==Trivia==
*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.

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. 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 ''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 ''Brawl'' onward, 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. This animation is shared for characters who are [[paralyze]]d.
**This can also happen with numerous other throws in ''Melee'' if their damage/angle/knockback is altered, even if they retain a normal effect.
*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.
