'''Set knockback''', also referred to as '''fixed knockback''', is a property of some attacks where the amount of knockback dealt by the attack is always the same regardless of the damage the opponent has received so far, [[stale-move negation]], or how much damage the attack does. Moves with this property can be thought of as those having a knockback scaling factor of 0, though this is actually not the case. Usually, set knockback is used for the first hits of a [[natural combo]] or multi-hit move, while the last hit deals normal knockback (sometimes called "scaling knockback" to contrast), to make it easier for the entire attack to hit regardless of the opponent's damage. While damage is not a factor for set knockback, the character's [[weight]] still is, so the terms '''weight-dependent set knockback''' or '''weight based knockback''' are sometimes used. Starting in ''Brawl'', the effect of Damage Ratios (Launch Rates) for fixed knockback was drastically reduced, to the point where the in game Damage Ratio setting would have only a small effect on their knockback. Additionally, Shulk's Smash [[Monado Art]] is ignored entirely in ''Smash 4''. However, other modifiers on knockback, such as rage, crouch cancelling, or smash attack charging bonus are still calculated normally, which in the case of rage can lead to unintended early KO setups in normal gameplay. In ''Ultimate'', the effect of both types of knockback modifiers on set knockback was removed altogether, so set knockback is much harder to modify.

Starting in ''Brawl'', the effect of multipliers on received knockback for fixed knockback was drastically reduced, to the point where the in game Damage Ratio would have only a small effect on their knockback. Additionally, Shulk's Smash [[Monado Art]] is ignored entirely in ''Smash 4''. However, modifiers on dealt knockback rather than received knockback, such as rage or smash attack charging bonus are still calculated normally, which in the case of rage can lead to unintended early KO setups in normal gameplay.
