'''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 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.

*[[Charizard]] - [[Flare Blitz]] deals 5% damage when used and an additional 5% if it hits (for a total of 10%). The custom Blast Burn deals 6% when used and 10% if it hits (for a total of 16%).

*[[Diddy Kong]] - [[Rocketbarrel Boost]], when hitting a wall or ceiling. Deals 5% damage.

*[[Donkey Kong]] - receives 10% damage if someone breaks free from his [[cargo throw]].

*[[Ike]] - Fully charged [[Eruption]] deals 10% damage. The custom Furious Eruption deals 10% damage when charged halfway, and 15% damage when fully charged.

*[[Jigglypuff]] - [[Wakie Wakie]] deals 5% damage from the explosion.

*[[King Dedede]] - When holding a fully charged [[Jet Hammer]], King Dedede will receive damage in a fashion similar to [[hoop damage]]: it damages at 1% increments, but does not do any damage when at 150% or above (100% in [[Super Smash Bros. 4]]).

*[[Kirby]] - When holding a fully charged [[Hammer (move)|Hammer Flip]] or Giant Hammer, Kirby will take damage in the same way King Dedede does, but does not take any damage after 100% or above. He can also [[copy]] [[Thunder Jolt]] (Pichu), [[Flare Blade]], and [[Eruption]], which all damage Kirby just as they would the original user.

*[[Mr. Game & Watch]] - #1 [[Judge]] deals 12% damage. The custom Extreme Judge will only deal 5%.

*[[SSBM|Pichu]] - Most [[electric]]-based moves: [[Thunder Jolt]] (1%), [[Skull Bash]] (1%), [[Agility]] (1% for the first leap and 3% for the optional second one), {{b|Thunder|Pokémon}} (3% when connecting with Pichu), [[forward smash]] (2%), [[forward aerial]] (4%), [[down aerial]] (1%, or 2% if Pichu hits the ground during the attack), [[pummel]] (1%), and [[forward throw]] (1%). [[Up throw]] and [[down throw]] do not cause any recoil damage, despite their electrical effects.

*[[Roy]] - Fully charged [[Flare Blade]] deals 10% damage.
