For each consecutive hit on a character, the combo counter will rise by 1, until the combo ends or until the player faults and allows for the hitstun to elapse. The combo counter will register a hit in the combo if it was made before more than one frame of non-hitstun. If not, the counter resets. [[Grab]]s and landing or [[tech]]ing will reset the combo counter. | ||
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', the maximum number of consecutive hits that the game can record is 32,767. This irregular value can most likely be explained by binary data storage, as it's equal to 2<sup>15</sup> – 1. | In ''[[Super Smash Bros.

* | *In both ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'', an infamous method of raising combos with Mewtwo and Lucario, respectively, involves going up against a wall, such as one in [[Fourside]] in ''Melee'', charging their neutral special and continuously pressing Start to reset the CPU's damage to keep it stuck in the attack. | ||
**Another trick available in ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'' is to set the CPU's damage to 999%, grabbing it and [[pummel]]ing repeatedly; each pummel racks up a number on the combo counter, and the high damage causes the CPU to be grabbed for much longer than usual, allowing the player to pummel a large amount of times. | **Another trick available in ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'' is to set the CPU's damage to 999%, grabbing it and [[pummel]]ing repeatedly; each pummel racks up a number on the combo counter, and the high damage causes the CPU to be grabbed for much longer than usual, allowing the player to pummel a large amount of times. | ||

*Characters such as [[Mr. Game & Watch]] and [[Sheik]] can use their rapid [[jab]] to rack up hits on a cornered opponent. {{SSBB|King Dedede}}'s rapid jab in ''Brawl'' can be easily exploited in this way on a [[custom stage]] by hitting the opponent between two walls. In ''Smash 4'', this is not possible due to rapid jabs (and other multi-hitting moves) pushing the attacker back after landing many hits on the foe, breaking the combo. | *Characters such as [[Mr. Game & Watch]] and [[Sheik]] can use their rapid [[jab]] to rack up hits on a cornered opponent. {{SSBB|King Dedede}}'s rapid jab in ''Brawl'' can be easily exploited in this way on a [[custom stage]] by hitting the opponent between two walls.

*In ''Melee'', the [[Freeze glitch]], [[Soul breaker]] glitch and the Ice Climbers variation of the [[Black hole glitch]] allow infinite combos on any affected characters; these glitches also enable the player to reach the maximum of 32,767 combos without hacking. | *In ''Melee'', the [[Freeze glitch]], [[Soul breaker]] glitch and the Ice Climbers variation of the [[Black hole glitch]] allow infinite combos on any affected characters; these glitches also enable the player to reach the maximum of 32,767 combos without hacking. | ||
