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.

Recoil damage

Judge dealing recoil damage.

Recoil damage (also known as self-damage) is direct damage taken by a character when certain attacks 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 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.

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 Inkling's ink, or from spirits.
