A '''fighter ability''', more often referred to as a '''passive ability''', '''character mechanic''', or '''character gimmick''' is an unofficial term used in fighting games, including the ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' series, that describes special mechanics specific to certain characters (and/or their [[clone]]s). They can grant said fighter a passive ability, a chargeable meter, extra moves in their arsenal, an ammunition system, or other mechanics that are not directly linked to their standard moveset. In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', many fighter abilities have a special icon on the character's [[damage meter]] and/or a separate section in the character's [[Move List]]. | A '''fighter ability''', more often referred to as a '''passive ability''', '''character mechanic''', or '''character gimmick''' is an unofficial term used in fighting games, including the ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' series, that describes special mechanics specific to certain characters (and/or their [[clone]]s).
