'''Effect''' ({{ja|属性|Zokusei}}, ''attribute'')<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/M_AttackSystem.html 攻撃とふっとびの仕様]</ref> is the term used to refer to what kind of elemental properties an [[attack]] applies to what it hits. For example, attacks with the [[freezing]] effect can freeze opponents, while those with the [[flame]] effect produce fiery visuals and trigger fire-based interactions. Most attacks use the [[normal]] or [[slash]] effects, which have only cosmetic results.
'''Effect''' is the term used to refer to what kind of elemental properties an [[attack]] applies to what it hits. For example, attacks with the [[freezing]] effect can freeze opponents, while those with the [[flame]] effect produce fiery visuals and trigger fire-based interactions. Most attacks use the [[normal]] or [[slash]] effects, which have only cosmetic results.
 
The origin of the term "effect" is unclear. It is believed to come from how it determines whether an attack can apply status effects to opponents, such as freezing, [[bury]]ing, or using the {{b|Screw Attack|item}}. It could also relate to a basic visual system in most video games known as [[wikipedia:Particle system|particle effects]], which would pertain to the aesthetic flair of attacks in ''Super Smash Bros.''
