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.  

When a Floow suddenly appears, it looks like a large, indefinite black cloud. After a brief time, it takes form as a slim and tall humanoid shape made of separate gray rectangles, with two small red eyes. The rectangles get more distant as Floow takes damage, thus enlonging his figure. 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 strong [[combo]] move 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]] for any character, unless there is a ceiling or a [[cave of life]] to protect the player (since itsknockback 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 28% on Easy to 140% on Intense, depending on the number of attacking enemies).  

A single Floow's lament has more than enough power to OHKO on every difficulty; anyway, a Floow can use it more times in a row with an extremely brief pause, much less than two seconds on Intense. This makes the attack way 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 inflicting 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):

*Easy: 15% per hit, 105% combined.

*Normal: 21% per hit, 147% combined.

*Hard: 28% per hit, 196% combined.  

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

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

 

 

 

A particular annoyance of the Floow is its ability to steadily regain health, although it cannot move or attack while healing. The required time for a complete healing varies with the difficulty: from four seconds on Easy to less than two seconds on Intense. Floows can be turned into a trophy with the use of a [[trophy stand]] at very low health, 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.''
