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. |

'''Plasma Whip''' ({{ja|プラズマウィップ | '''Plasma Whip''' ({{ja|プラズマウィップ}} ''Purazuma Uippu'') is [[Zero Suit Samus]]'s [[side special move]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. | ||
==Overview== | ==Overview== | ||
Upon pressing the special button, Samus shoots the Plasma Whip forward a long distance, with small [[knockback]] and [[damage]] throughout its length, except for a fairly large [[Sweet spot (hitbox)|sweetspot]] at the tip. The body of the whip can knock the enemy into the tip, which has large knockback (at least as large as Samus' [[side smash]], but with longer range) and is considered her best [[KO]] move outside of her [[forward aerial|forward]] and [[back aerial]]s. Does 19% damage (if the opponent is close to Samus because its pushed to the tip, doing two hits), 16% if only the tip hits. | |||

In the air, it can be used as a [[tether recovery]]; it differs from her other tether move, the [[Plasma Wire]], in that it has longer horizontal [[range]], but much less vertical range, giving Zero Suit Samus several options for tethering, depending on whether she is level with or below the ledge. The Plasma Wire can also grapple ledges that are below Zero Suit Samus' level, which can be useful for varying up her recovery. There is a small blind spot in the middle of the Plasma Whip which the opponent is not hit. If spaced correctly, it can be used after a [[down smash]]. | ||

*Through hacking, unique item [[grab]]bing and [[throw]]ing animations have been found for Plasma Whip. This suggests that the move was, at one point, also designed to have the ability to grab items from afar and fling them towards opponents. Judging from the animations, it also suggested that Zero Suit Samus could steal opponents' held items by using Plasma Whip against them. | |||
