Editing Floow

|caption  = Two Floows in the ''Subspace Emissary''.

A '''Floow''' ({{ja|フロウス|Furōsu}}, ''Flows'') is an enemy in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[Subspace Emissary]] mode which first appears in the [[The Ruined Zoo|Ruined Zoo]] level. It looks like a large black cloud with gray rectangles forming a humanoid shape and two small red eyes. Its trophy describes it as "a ghost patched with strips of darkness." A Floow's attack (some sort of scream or lament) is an extremely powerful [[combo]] attack that causes enormous damage output (from over 250% to nearly 300% on Intense if all hits chain) and immensely powerful knockback on the last hit. It is always an [[OHKO]], unless there is a ceiling or a [[cave of life]] to protect the player (since knockback is always vertical or nearly); ironically, Floows are mostly found in underground levels, such as caves or mines. It is possible for two Floows attacking at alternate times to trap a player leaving him unharmed, or to attack together with a scream of invariable OHKO power (a one-hit attack that instantly inflicts from 22% on Easy to 77% on Intense).  

Anyway, a single Floow's lament has more than enough power to OHKO on every difficulty, also a Floow can use it more times in a row with an extremely brief pause, sometimes less than two seconds. This makes the attack even more dangerous, even if the player is protected by a cave of life. The attack consists of seven consecutive hits of the same power, with the last being able to inflict heavy vertical knockback (it alone can KO around 30% on Intense). Damage seemingly increases by 7% per hit for every difficulty, except from Easy to Normal where the gap is 6% instead. The following list shows the maximum damage inflicted by this move for every difficulty, respectively for each hit and combined (assuming all hits connect):

*Very Hard: 35% per hit, 245% combined.  

*Intense: 42% per hit, 294% combined.

This attack is clearly one of the [[Damage|most damaging moves]] in absolute, only surpassed by [[Lugia]]’s Aeroblast and [[Tabuu]]'s Rapid Chop and Bullet Rain on Intense difficulty, but surpassing [[Armight]]'s combo attack (which can deal up to 272% though). Anyway, this move can become even more powerful if multiple Floows attack in group, since they can trap the player and hit multiple times together: a combined attack can inflict 999% damage in less than four seconds on Intense, making it the most powerful move ever in damage terms.

A particular annoyance of the Floow is its ability to steadily regain health, although it cannot move or attack while healing. Floows can be turned into a trophy with the use of a [[trophy stand]], but precise aiming and timing may be required as the Floows float around. Floows are also completely immune to [[absorb]]able attacks; such attacks will simply vanish on contact and not do anything.

''An enemy that might be described as a ghost patched with strips of darkness. A Floow will float in the air and attack nastily from behind. Harboring pent-up resentment, a Floow's cries reveal one part sadness, one part madness. This especially hits home when gazing into its ghastly red eyes. After taking a certain amount of damage, a Floow will disappear.''
