The pot has 15% damage-based [[armor]] during the attack from frame 9 until shortly after the release, and a direction can be inputted to turn Piranha Plant left or right. Upon release, this reduces to 12%. It also has a 0.8× damage multiplier, which ''does'' affect [[KO]] [[percentage]]s. The new damage scales with the [[1v1 multiplier]] last, meaning 10% base damage will reduce to 8% first, and then be multiplied up to 9.6%. The 1v1 multiplier, as usual, does not affect KO percentages itself.

The new damage scales with the [[1v1 multiplier]] last, meaning 10% base damage will reduce to 8% first, and then be multiplied up to 9.6%. The 1v1 multiplier, as usual, does not affect KO percentages itself. This means that the halved damage before being multiplied will be what is used in [[knockback]] calculation. Overall, Long-Stem Strike has valid use for survivability and edgeguarding purposes. | ||
However, one must be careful when turning before the strike, as the pot/pipe cannot change directions after an initial input. If it lies on its side the attack is stuck at a specific angle, making it easier to dodge. It can also get stuck on the ground if tilted too much in the air, leaving the character wide open to attack or grabs. Knowing how to control this is essential to the move's success. | However, one must be careful when turning before the strike, as the pot/pipe cannot change directions after an initial input.

However, the difference is negligible offensively and is largely used for mixups and fake-outs. The attack itself possesses [[intangibility]] on the head from frames 1-6, allowing it to go through projectiles. It also deals 5 HP bonus damage to [[shield]]s, making it useful for [[shield break]]s. Piranha Plant's hurtbox is, however, expanded during the attack, and any knockback taken will start momentum from the pot/pipe. Due to this, it is possible to [[meteor smash]] Piranha Plant from very far away. | ||

Prior to 4.0.0, Piranha Plant had a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqVHRH_uz1Q glitch] with Long-Stem Strike that would replace the Bite animation with [[Ptooie]]'s Swallow animation. To perform this, Piranha Plant would have to get hit by an opponent's attack a frame before, or on the frame, that Ptooie would be swallowed. Then, if Long-Stem Strike were to be used and slightly tilted, the Bite animation would instead come out as the Swallow animation, removing the hitboxes, intangibility and essentially any reference of the bite attack completely. The tech had very little utility due to the arduous process of managing to fulfill the conditions, but it did find its way into battles by chance. | Prior to 4.0.0, Piranha Plant had a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqVHRH_uz1Q glitch] with Long-Stem Strike that would replace the Bite animation with [[Ptooie]]'s Swallow animation.

This is a reference to the Stalking Piranha Plants that first appeared in ''{{s|mariowiki|New Super Mario Bros. Wii}}''. When they are encountered, the height of their stem changes sporadically, making it hard for the player to jump past. | |||
It is also similar to ''{{s|mariowiki|Elasto-Piranha}}'' from ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time}}'' of which, their ability is to expand their stem up to the sky. | |||
