'''Rage''' is a mechanic introduced in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. It was originally discovered by the Japanese community at the launch of {{for3ds}} in September 14, 2014, and was first referred to as the "Hot Hot Effect". [[Ayuha]] and {{Sm|Chia}} worked together to make a tutorial video on it and bring the information to the western scene, where Chia then named it the "Rage Effect". Rage functions similarly to [[Aura]]: a character's attacks will deal increased [[knockback]] as they accumulate more damage, though it does not affect an attack's damage output. Rage is visually denoted by characters flashing red and emitting steam when they reach 100%,<ref name="PicoftheDay"/> which become more visually intense as the characters' damage increases until 150%; in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', their portraits in the [[damage meter]] emit smoke as well. However, rage starts applying long before these visual indicators appear.
