Critical hits are a staple feature of many role-playing video games (including other series seen in ''Smash'', such as {{uv|Pokémon}}, {{uv|EarthBound}}, {{uv|Final Fantasy}}, {{uv|Xenoblade Chronicles}}, and {{uv|Dragon Quest}}). They are generally rare attacks that have a certain chance of occurrence, with the payoff usually being an increase to the amount of damage dealt, e.g. doubling the current amount. In {{uv|Fire Emblem}}, critical hits inflict three times the damage that a normal strike would (with the exception of ''[[fireemblemwiki:Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War|Genealogy of the Holy War]]'' and ''[[fireemblemwiki:Fire Emblem: Thracia 776|Thracia 776]]''), and the odds of executing them are based on the unit's [[fireemblemwiki:Skill (stat)|skill stat]] and on the properties of the weapon they wield. The Critical Hit Final Smashes reflect the source material's extreme power — often far more than enough to kill an enemy in a single hit — with their high damage output and, in particular, the extremely high knockback of Marth and Lucina's shared version. | Critical hits are a staple feature of many role-playing video games (including other series seen in ''Smash'', such as {{uv|Pokémon}}, {{uv|EarthBound}}, {{uv|Final Fantasy}}, {{uv|Xenoblade Chronicles}}, and {{uv|Dragon Quest}}).
