Final Smashes tend to be incredibly powerful attacks, often leaving the user [[invincible]] for the move's duration (the periods vary from character to character, but always apply upon startup/execution), and are generally [[unblockable attack|unblockable]]. If properly executed, they usually have the capacity to [[KO]] at least one opponent. Final Smashes performed correctly will give the player a great advantage, and may help to catch up to others or cement a commanding lead. Many Final Smashes also temporarily slow down stage elements, such as platform movements and motions in the background. However, in many cases, [[stage hazard]]s' hitboxes remain active while a non-cutscene Final Smash is in effect, making them exploitable for gaining additional damage.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRJOu-_qAH8</ref>

To perform a Final Smash, a player must first either destroy a [[Smash Ball]], fill the [[Final Smash Meter]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' (although then the Final Smash will be weaker), be given the ability by [[Victini]] or fall sufficiently far behind in a match that they are given a "Pity Final Smash" upon respawning. Once any of these happen, the screen will darken, the player's [[character]] will be engulfed in a multi-colored aura and their eyes will glow a bright yellow; officially refered to as '''Standby Mode''', the character's [[neutral special move]] is effectively replaced with a single use of their Final Smash.

In ''[[Brawl]]'', the majority of Final Smashes are powerful enough that they have the potential to KO incredibly early or even [[one-hit KO]] if used properly. In ''[[SSB4]]'', Final Smashes were universally made much weaker, many of them no longer being able to KO opponents at low percentages. [[#Changes in Ultimate|In]] ''[[Ultimate]]'', they have been slightly nerfed overall once again. If a player doesn't use their Final Smash in about 20 seconds, the effect will expire. Final Smashes have also been tweaked to be less disruptive to the gameplay.

{{SSB4|Bayonetta}}'s [[Infernal Climax]] in ''SSB4'' became the first Final Smash with the potential to [[Instant KO|instantly KO]] trapped opponents. In ''Ultimate'', several Final Smashes have this property.

Most Final Smashes cause the camera to temporarily zoom in on the user when activated, though there are some situations where this does not occur, such as with Pac-Man's Final Smash, [[Super Pac-Man]]. In {{forwiiu}}, through a currently unconfirmed nature, there are some cases where Final Smashes that normally zoom in don't zoom in at all. In ''Ultimate'', there are two types of zooms: activating after breaking the Smash Ball will have a closeup on the user from a different angle, and activating from a Final Smash Meter will have a standard zoom similar to ''Brawl'' and ''SSB4''.

While every player can be in standby mode simultaneously, only one Smash Ball or Final Smash can be present onscreen at any given time. When a Final Smash is active, all other players temporarily exit standby mode and regain it upon conclusion. When most Final Smashes are performed in the air, upon ending the move, the character gains a slight boost in height and regains their spent midair jumps, usually preventing a self-destruct.

Final Smashes are affected by [[Rage]] and [[Stale-Move Negation]] (and therefore will usually gain a freshness bonus), but are not affected by stat changes from equipment or Mii Fighter sizes.

In a 2-player [[time]]d match in ''[[Brawl]]'', since the points differ by two for each kill, it is possible to go from a lead of 4 points to 6 without triggering the Pity Final Smash condition (which is to be exactly 5 points behind). If a player SD's, and consequently loses only one point, then a Pity Final Smash is possible.

Pity/Easy Final Smashes cannot occur while a [[Smash Ball]] is present on the battlefield, even when the requirements are met. In ''Brawl'', Pity Final Smashes can be disabled only by turning the Smash Ball off; simply setting the overall [[item]] frequency to "None" does not prevent players from getting them if Smash Balls are still turned on. In ''SSB4'', either method will prevent Easy Final Smashes. Additionally, they cannot occur in 2 player matches, for AI players, or by a player SD'ing.

==In competitive play==
==In competitive play==
In [[tournament]]s, all items, including Smash Balls, are turned to "none" and "off," respectively, meaning that Final Smashes do not appear in tournaments. While there has been some dispute in the past whether Smash Balls solely of all items should be allowed, due to Final Smashes resembling the "super move" concept of more traditional fighting games, the general consensus is that they are detrimental to competitive play for several reasons:
In [[tournament]]s, all items, including Smash Balls, are turned off, meaning that Final Smashes do not appear in tournaments. While there has been some debate in the past whether Smash Balls should be the only item allowed, due to Final Smashes resembling the "super move" concept of more traditional fighting games, the general consensus is that they are detrimental to competitive play for several reasons:


*Final Smashes behave very differently from the typical "super moves" of other fighting games: they are not built up through any controllable means while a match plays out (such as dealing or taking damage) and are instead acquired through breaking a completely separate and randomly spawning "super move item" that flies around the stage in an unpredictable pattern. Such properties can lead to a player gaining a large advantage from just being in the right place at the right time.  
* Smash Balls spawn randomly and can move around the stage in an unpredictable pattern, potentially giving a random player a large advantage from just being in the right place at the right time. Characters on Final Smash standby can also randomly drop it from any hit that deals hitstun.
**Only one player is allowed to be on standby at any given time, thus precluding any potential immediate counters with Final Smashes and forcing the opponent to wait for the next Smash Ball to spawn.
** Characters with high mobility and range have their strengths exaggerated even more by Smash Balls, as they are better at pursuing and obtaining them; for example, it is unlikely that a {{SSB4|Little Mac}} player fighting a {{SSB4|Jigglypuff}} player on an [[Ω form]] stage can break the Smash Ball before their opponent gets to it unless it happens to spawn or float close to the ground.
**The frequent appearance of Smash Balls, which is not affected by what the item frequency is set to, which when combined with how powerful Final Smashes are, heavily centralizes the match around "getting the Smash Ball" rather than outplaying the opponent through direct combat.
** ''Brawl'' also has the issue where a Final Smash may take an invisible and unpredictable amount of time to load from disc, causing a player to potentially use a neutral special move for no apparent reason and giving the opponent a free opportunity to counter.
**Characters with high mobility and range are better at pursuing and obtaining the Smash Ball than others; it is unlikely, for instance, that a {{SSB4|Little Mac}} player fighting a {{SSB4|Jigglypuff}} player on an [[Ω form]] stage can break the Smash Ball before their opponent gets to it unless it happens to spawn or float close to the ground.
* The Final Smash Meter introduced in ''Ultimate'' removes the above randomness issues, but introduces issues of its own:
**When a character has a Final Smash, they can randomly drop it from any hit that deals hitstun, introducing yet another significant random element to them.
** The meter charges passively over time, giving an incentive for players to stall.
**In ''Smash 4'', spawn times for Smash Balls can vary wildly, ranging from a few seconds to a few minutes, further increasing their randomness.
** The meter also charges more from taking damage than dealing damage, making it difficult to prevent the opponent from obtaining one as a form of counterplay.
**In ''Ultimate'', Smash Balls can spawn with the physics of a [[Soccer Ball]]. While this slightly counters the random flight, the fact that it does not always occur and the item can still spawn anywhere on the map only increases the luck factor.
** Prior to the v4.0.0 update, a player on Final Smash standby who is even slightly ahead would be incentivized to stall and evade their opponent, as the Final Smash could not be dropped and any attempt by the opponent to approach would be instantly punished with the Final Smash. As of the 4.0.0 update, a charged FS Meter now has a time limit of 20 seconds.
*Most Final Smashes are considered to have disproportionate power; simply using one competently will result in massive damage if not a clean KO of the opponent, easily accomplishing in one move what could take far more effort for the opponent to match. In addition to this, not all Final Smashes are guaranteed to be reliable at KOing opponents, as some operate as a stage-wide nuisance and have more difficulty KOing opponents. This is most prominent in ''Brawl''; some polarized examples include:
* Several Final Smashes are disproportionately powerful; were Final Smashes to be allowed, certain characters would become overcentralizing picks due to their Final Smash alone.
**{{SSBB|Sonic}}'s Final Smash deals very high damage and knockback, and his immense movement speed makes it virtually impossible to avoid for long, while its long duration also makes it possible for Sonic to KO the same opponent twice in a single Final Smash usage. {{SSBB|Falco}}'s [[Landmaster]] is similar in being a virtually impossible to avoid Final Smash that lasts long enough to KO the same opponent twice, and can additionally fly opponents off the top blastzone to KO them at 0%.
** In ''Brawl'', {{SSBB|Sonic}}'s Final Smash deals very high damage and knockback, and his immense movement speed makes it virtually impossible to avoid for long, while its long duration also makes it possible for Sonic to KO the same opponent twice in a single Final Smash usage.
**{{SSBB|Zero Suit Samus}}'s Final Smash is very ineffective due to its small area-of-effect and low power, and it forces her to turn into the less viable {{SSBB|Samus}} when the Final Smash finishes, which the player will also not be able to reverse unless they acquire another Smash Ball or perform a difficult [[Smash Taunt]] that will leave them vulnerable.
*** Conversely, in ''Brawl'', {{SSBB|Zero Suit Samus}}'s Final Smash is very weak due to its small area-of-effect and low power, and it forces her to turn into the less viable {{SSBB|Samus}} when the Final Smash finishes, which the player will also not be able to reverse unless they acquire another Smash Ball or perform a difficult [[Smash Taunt]] that will leave them vulnerable.
**{{SSBB|Peach}}'s Final Smash doesn't KO opponents at all, it instead puts nearby opponents to sleep and spawns numerous healing items, and it additionally has no effect on airborne opponents, making it very easy to avoid its effect.
** In ''Ultimate'', [[Peach Blossom]] and [[Triforce of Wisdom]] affect essentially the entire area of any [[tournament legal]] stage, allowing them to be activated instantly from anywhere with no setup, and have effects that nearly guarantee a KO regardless of counterplay.
*In ''Brawl'', the loading time required before a Final Smash actually becomes available to a character is somewhat random and invisible to players, so one may end up using a neutral special for no apparent reason and possibly providing the opponent a free opportunity to counter.
** Compared to other chargeable attacks such as [[Wario Waft]], [[KO Uppercut]], or [[Finishing Touch]], as well as similar super move mechanics in other fighting games, Final Smashes are [[unblockable]], make the user fully [[intangible]], and have no associated high-risk downside.


Because items are turned to off and none, and tournament rules generally specify lower stock than what is required to trigger them, Pity Final Smashes also do not appear in tournaments. The common argument for including them is that, as Pity Final Smashes do not appear at random, one can reap the benefits of a Final Smash without relying on luck, allowing players in a heavy losing position to stage an easy yet effective comeback. However, this can only happen in a match of at least 6 stocks, which is considered to be far too high for tournaments as it drastically increases playtime, and competitive players generally consider an element designed solely to aid a worse-performing player to be anti-competitive. In ''Smash 4'', as they cannot occur in a 1v1 setting, in which most competitive matches take place, it can be said that Smash Balls must be disabled solely due to Easy Smashes having the capacity to occur in a doubles match but not a singles match.
Pity Final Smashes also do not appear in competitive play, due to requiring a match with a minimum of 6 stocks, which is considered far too high for timely tournament progression. As such, Final Smashes of any form remain universally banned in competitive play.


''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' seems to address a number of these issues:
==Glitches==
*The Final Smash Meter eliminates the need for luck to obtain Final Smashes, and Final Smashes earned by the FS Meter are weaker than those obtained from a Smash Ball.
===Regenerating terrain glitch===
**This brings them more in line with other controllable one-use, high-risk attacks such as [[Wario Waft]], [[KO Uppercut]], and [[Limit Charge|Limit Breaks]].
{{Main|Regenerating terrain glitch}}
**With this mechanic, players in a 1v1 match can once again obtain a Final Smash without turning on the Smash Ball or having to break one. In addition, it is no longer necessary to set the stock count high and worry about Easy Final Smashes.
[[File:Jigglypuff glitch.png|thumb|Jigglypuff retaining its [[Puff Up]]-induced size, the most well-known version of the glitch.]]
**While only one player can use a Final Smash at a time, any number of players can be on standby at once assuming their FS Meter is full.
The Regenerating terrain glitch is a [[glitch]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' that causes certain [[Final Smashes]] to stay in their activated state, if the character begins their Final Smash inside a piece of terrain that regenerates and interrupts the activation.
**As of the 4.0.0 update, the Final Smash Meter now has a time limit of 20 seconds, which means the player cannot remain on standby for as long as they want to.
*Controllable transformation Final Smashes have been removed entirely, reducing the gap in effectiveness between Final Smashes.
 
Despite all the aforementioned restrictions set within ''Ultimate'''s configurations, Final Smashes continue to be plagued by many of the same complications that were of concern in the past:
*The gap in effectiveness has been reduced, but is still quite large: [[Octopus]] and [[Puff Up]] are considered to be overpowered and underpowered respectively.
*Even with the nerf in power, Final Smashes obtained by FS meter are still obscenely powerful, typically KOing around 50% or less.
*While the FS meter allows them to be charged up and thus predictably obtained, the meter charging from taking damage and passively overtime eliminates the possibility of counterplay via preventing the opponent from obtaining their Final Smash. The fact that Final Smashes makes the user fully [[intangible]], are [[unblockable]], and generally have massive [[hitbox]]es, makes them disproportionately powerful compared to other "super attacks".
**This is especially problematic with large-scale Final Smashes like [[Peach Blossom]] and [[Triforce of Wisdom]], which are practically unavoidable on [[tournament legal]] stages due to their massive area of effect.
**This also makes Final Smashes that can be activated instantly and be effective without any setup like the aforementioned two and [[Infernal Climax]] have virtually no counterplay, as the opponent cannot be prevented from getting their Final Smash, while the player can do practically nothing to avoid getting KO'd by the Final Smashes.
**Once a player fills their FS Meter, they can only lose their Final Smash by being KO'd or 20 seconds passing without using it, which while this eliminates the randomness with any hit being able to randomly make a player drop their Final Smash when it's obtained via Smash Ball, it farther limits counterplay against all Final Smashes.
**The FS meter charges much more quickly by taking damage and can only be depleted on the use or by being KO'd during standby, which primarily assists the worse-performing player in a similar fashion to Easy Final Smashes. Furthermore, players who are at a stock disadvantage lose less meter than those who are in the lead.  


As such, Final Smashes of any form remain universally banned in competitive play.

In ''SSB4'', [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjlkUNUzdBw a glitch can occur affecting the eyeballs of multiple characters], most notably Jigglypuff, as a result of an oversight in the coding of the graphical effects of characters eyeballs during Final Smashes. When breaking the Smash Ball with a move that causes a character's eyeballs to point in a certain direction, upon finishing their Final Smash, said fighter's eyeballs will be locked in this same position until a move or action is performed that also causes the fighter to look in a direction. This occurs because a fighter's eyeballs are temporarily replaced with yellow eyeballs when they break a Smash Ball, at which point their regular eyeballs are stored exactly as they were just before their eyeball model was replaced. In some extreme cases, this glitch can even be carried over into victory animations, such as one of Jigglypuff's victory animations.

When this occurs, if the transformed character's HP is depleted, their [[hit points|stamina]] gets reduced to 0 HP (zero hit points) and their transformations are undone. Then they are able to continue to fight; despite having "0 HP" displayed.
