The '''Cloaking Device''' | The '''Cloaking Device''' is a transformation item in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' that makes the user invisible and invincible to raw damage. | ||
==Origin== | ==Origin== | ||
[[File: | [[File:CloackingDevicePD.png|left|thumb|150px|A player using a Cloaking Device in ''{{s|wikipedia|Perfect Dark}}''.]] | ||

While invaluable if the player wishes to use stealth, using any weapons while using the device causes the player to turn visible again. Contrary to its depiction in ''Melee'', players who are damaged while cloaked will still take damage; in addition, the device's effects are permanent as long as the player does not fire a weapon. | ||
== | ==Operation== | ||
[[Image:CloakingDeviceSSBM.jpg|thumb|Kirby and Peach, cloaked.]] | |||
True to its depiction in ''Perfect Dark'', the Cloaking Device turns the user invisible. If playing with a [[name]], the tag will also disappear, and any "props" that a character uses, such as {{SSBM|Mario}}'s [[Cape]] or {{SSBM|Link}}'s [[Hookshot]] will also become invisible. In addition, players are unable to take any damage if they are cloaked, and [[recoil damage]] is negated. Characters, however, will still take any [[hitstun]] or [[knockback]] inflicted on them. | |||
While standing completely still will make the player completely invisible, movement of any sort disrupts the device's powers. While walking or jumping, the background behind the player will appear to "bend" in their shape, and faster movements, such as midair jumps or dashing, will cause the "bends" to become even more visible. While attacking, the player can even become temporarily visible for a brief moment. Regardless of movement, the effects of the cloaking device become more unreliable in the last second of its use. | While standing completely still will make the player completely invisible, movement of any sort disrupts the device's powers.

== | ===As a [[Special Melee]] option=== | ||
{{ | Within's ''Melee''{{'}}s Special Melee mode, [[Invisible Melee]] forces all players to be under the effects of the Cloaking Device; contrary to its usual specifications, however, players still take damage in the mode. Like the item itself, names are also not displayed in the mode. | ||
While the item does not return for ''Brawl'' and ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', a "Clear" modifier is available in the revamped [[Special mode|Special Brawl/Smash]] mode, acting identically to Invisible Melee. [[Boo]], a [[Smash Tour]] item, allows the player to start a fight with similar effects to a Cloaking Device. | |||
===In [[Event Match]]es=== | |||
{{ | [[Event 23: Slippy's Invention]] in ''Melee'' pits the player's character against {{SSBM|Fox}} and {{SSBM|Falco}} on [[Venom]], both of whom are under the effects of a permanent Cloaking Device, albeit more similar in function to Invisible Melee. At the start of the match, [[Slippy Toad]] says, "How's the cloaking device I invented?"; as the description of the match also says "Slippy: With my new device, you guys'll be invisible!", the match implies that Slippy invented the Cloaking Device that is used in ''Melee''. | ||
: | |||
{{ | ''Brawl'' itself features [[Co-Op Event 6: Unwanted Suitors]], which acts similarly to Slippy's Invention. In the match, two players, as either {{SSBB|Zelda}} or {{SSBB|Zero Suit Samus}}, need to fight against {{SSBB|Luigi}} and {{SSBB|Captain Falcon}}, both of whom are under the effects of the "Clear" modifier. | ||

:''This state-of-the-art camouflage device bends light rays in such a way that players using it appear almost invisible. The device fosters confusion, and players using it will not take damage while cloaked. This does not mean, however, that players become invulnerable, so they can still be sent reeling or flying across the screen, depending on their damage percentages.'' | |||
