Notices
The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters.
When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted.

:''This article is about the sound effect. For information about latency in online battles, see [[Frame delay]].''
A '''ping''' is the sound effect used for very powerful [[attack]]s, and is most often associated with the [[Home-Run Bat]]. In ''[[Brawl]]{{'}}s'' trophy description for the Home-Run Bat, the sound is described as "KREEEEENG!", while the [[Smash Bros. DOJO!!]] variously described it as [http://www.smashbros.com/wii/en_us/gamemode/various/various08.html "PWANG!"], [http://www.smashbros.com/wii/en_us/characters/hidden03.html "PING!"], or [http://www.smashbros.com/wii/en_us/characters/hidden10.html "Pwaaaang!"]. It can be described as a sharp ascending high-pitched sound overlaid with a trailing impact sound. The sound is impossible to miss, and hearing it usually means that a player just got hit by a very powerful attack.

Luigi's sweetspotted Fire Jump Punch now no longer pings in the air. While attacks in general in ''Melee'' were given more realistic and varied sound effects, all other pings from ''Smash 64'' carry over. New attacks that use the ping sound effect are:

*All other [[freezing]] attacks use a quiet variation of the ping on hit.
*Judgment #8, all three [[freezing]] attacks from [[Poké Ball]]s, and [[Crazy Hand]]'s Tri-Poke freeze use a quieter variation of the ping to indicate a hit.


The ping is also heard during the cutscene where [[Giga Bowser]] emerges from the defeated {{SSBM|Bowser}}'s trophy in [[Adventure Mode]].

''Brawl'' changed sound effects for certain items and attacks, and is the only ''Smash'' game to remove pings from moves (without removing the move). Ness's forward smash has been changed to a wooden "crack", sounding more like a real bat. The Freezie now uses its traditional sound effect from ''{{iw|supermariowiki|Mario Bros.|game}}'', and all other freezing attacks except for Mr. Game & Watch's Judge #8 use a different, more realistic freezing sound. The full list is now:

*5 moves from ''Melee'' still ping: the Home-Run Bat, Luigi's grounded sweetspotted Fire Jump Punch, Jigglypuff's Rest, and Mr. Game & Watch's Judge #8 and #9.
*5 of the 9 moves carried over from ''Melee'' still ping: the Home-Run Bat, Luigi's grounded sweetspotted Fire Jump Punch, Jigglypuff's Rest, and Mr. Game & Watch's Judge #8 and #9. (Two of the previously-mentioned Poké Ball spawns are no longer applicable.)

For the first time, no new pings were introduced. Light Arrow is now absent from the game; {{SSBU|Zelda}} and {{SSBU|Sheik}}'s new Final Smashes, [[Triforce of Wisdom]] and [[Sheikah Dance]], use unique sound effects instead of the ping. Additionally, while {{SSBU|Link}}'s [[Ancient Bow and Arrow]] is fundamentally similar to Light Arrow and Dark Pit Staff, it also uses a unique sound effect. All other pings from ''Smash 4'' carry over.

''Ultimate'' also introduces the [[Special Zoom]] and [[Special Zoom#Overview|Final Zoom]]. Many of the attacks that play the ping now receive their own Special Zoom, making them even more dramatic, while the Final Zoom plays a variant of the ping combined with the sound of slashing swords.
