'''Recoil damage''' (also known as '''self-damage''') is direct [[damage]] taken by a character when certain [[attack]]s are used. Recoil damage is constant regardless of any other factors; it is not affected by [[stale-move negation]], and it occurs even if the user is [[invincible]] or [[intangible]]. Recoil damage does not cause knockback to the user. Being damaged by one's own explosive is not considered recoil damage, as it does not directly deal damage to the character, and it can also be prevented by invincibility or intangibility.
'''Recoil damage''' (also known as '''self-damage''') is [[damage]] taken by a character when it uses an [[attack]] under certain circumstances. Recoil damage is constant regardless of any other factors; it is not affected by [[stale-move negation]], and occurs even if the user is [[invincible]] or [[intangible]]. Being damaged by one's own explosive generally does not count as recoil damage, as it does not directly deal damage to the character. Recoil damage does not cause knockback to the user.


Recoil damage can only be negated by ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''{{'}}s [[Cloaking Device]] item. In addition, the [[All-Star Rest Area]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' prevents any recoil damage from harming the player's character. While damage taken will fill the [[Final Smash Meter]] greatly in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', recoil damage does not fill it.
Recoil damage can only be negated via the use of ''Melee's'' [[Cloaking Device]] item. In addition, the [[All-Star Rest Area]] in ''Smash 4'' prevents any recoil damage from harming the player's character.
 
In ''Ultimate'', the 1.2× damage bonus applied during one-on-one fights also applies to recoil damage. It is not, however, affected by the 0.85× [[short hop]] damage multiplier, or multipliers from sources such as {{SSBU|Inkling}}'s {{b|ink|status}}, or from [[spirit]]s.
